Chuck Todd: “Hillary Clinton was a magnet for this stuff. She couldn’t get away from it. Trump is the magnet now."

I give up.

Chuck Todd comparing Hillary's emails to Trump being responsible for 190,000 deaths is ignorant AF and demonstrates he shouldn't even anchor an earlier afternoon news time slot.

The Hoarse Whisperer@TheRealHoarse·2h
Chuck Todd is every bit as terrible in a midday slot as he was at 5 pm.

@MSNBC
, when are you going to fire this guy and hire someone competent?

1. stupid half-witted chuck todd. be gone already you dope.

[still_one]

2. F**k Chuck Todd

[SharonClark]

3. Todd is too shallow to understand the false

comparison he made. He has the smarts of a faux news host.

[onetexan]

4. Ugg..this Napoleon-complexed guy Chuck Todd running his smarmy mouth again..

[dlk]

5. The ultimate false equivalency

Another example of the toxicity of bothsiderism.

[Mike Nelson]

6. Well...

... I hope his contract is up for renewal around now... he really needs to go... maybe he can find a spot on FOX "News"...

[uponit7771]

7. omfg, this guys a little stupid and disconnected to have this gig

[Docreed2003]

8. Screw you Chuck and your weak assed, ignorant attempt at false equivalency

Sec Clinton committed no crimes and was unfairly targeted. Trump is a scum bag, lying, criminal and every bit of info exposing him has been proven true! Unless you're just showing your true colors and actually think that somehow exposing Trump is "unfair" to him.

[TheRealNorth]

9. Chuckie goes out of his way

to disparage Hillary by conflating Qanon conspiracy theories about Hillary with things that Don the Con ADMITTED TO on tape, never mind all the stuff we have got him pretty much dead to rights on.

[redstatebluegirl]

10. He is a nitwit.

[aaaaaa5a]

11. I hate Chuck Todd's "both-sideism"

He is the King of it.

He takes news stories and instead of reporting the facts as they are, he attempts to take a contrary view just for conversation.

It’s the core of what is wrong with our media.

For instance. “Global warming is impacting the earth.” This is not a liberal statement. Or a conservative statement. It’s a factually accurate statement. There is no contrary viewpoint.

I wish the media would understand this. It drives me crazy!

I wish I had the influence to lead a boycott to take him off the air.

[JHB]

24. It's that ability to make "both teams need to gain ground to score" the central story...

...when the ball is on the 5-yard line that cemented his position as NBC News' Political Director.

[Eliot Rosewater]

12. GOP and Todd and Russians are why we are about to lose everything

[Hassler]

13. NBC pays Toad to say this sht.

[sarcasmo]

14. MSNBC now has PR twitter account @MSNBCPR . If you have Twitter please tweet your disgust.

[ehrnst]

15. Like women in the military are "magnets" for sexual assault?

[iluvtennis]

27. + 1. nt

[Cha]

16. chuck toadie.. listen UP! Fucking "emails"

are NOT the same as LYING about the LIFE & DEATH Pandemic, MF!

If you Ever had Any political acumen.. It's GONE.

[agingdem]

17. MTP...

Every few days I tune into Chuckie and his ridiculous show..he's such an unbelievable asshat I rather enjoy watching the death of his "career" in slow motion...

[Dr. Jack]

18. It's quite the weak comparison

Hillary was far from perfect in 2016 but nothing like the pure evil that Trump is. However, I do agree with the notion that 2016 and 2020 are very different elections, and that Trump is the one on defensive this year unlike the last election, when the media let pretty much everything slide.

[Cha]

19. RtX3 #FireChuckTodd.

[TreasonousBastard]

20. As in another thread on this-- Todd was not comparing emails to Covid but the...

outraged responses to them.

However, never bother to actually read or hear what he actually said lest it get in the way of righteous scorn for him.

[JI7]

33. How does that change anything ? THe outrage against Hillary was not justified

and for him to compare that shit to Trump where it IS deserving of outrage is BS.

[uponit7771]

36. +1, ... they made up 99% of reasons to be outraged about Clinton

[TreasonousBastard]

37. What does "deserving" have to do with it? Outrage is outrage and their outrage generator...

is just better at the job than ours.

Kerry, Franken, Hillary, and others have managed to attract undeserved outrage while Trump gets away with stuff every day.

Until now. We hope.

[kacekwl]

21. I watch Rachel and

a little of Lawrence O'Donnell on NBC (MSNBC) that's it. Gave up on Toad a long time ago.

[Cha]

22. Feels like Toad was covering for trump.

[Stallion]

23. Captain Both Sides Do It

[JHB]

25. She wasn't a "magnet", Chuckie, she was a target.

She didn't draw it to her, all of it was sent her way.

[ehrnst]

26. Bingo. (nt)

[JI7]

29. And still is

[Cosmo Blues]

28. I thought it was just me

I first saw Chuck Todd on C-Span, he was a correspondent for some media that C-SPAN used to report on Congress, he was good, succinct, factual. Now he's a shallow know-it-all who can't help but give his opinions and attack Hillary Clinton every chance he gets. I'm glad I'm not alone

[JI7]

30. What years was this ? I don't ever remember or heard of him being on CSPAN

[Cosmo Blues]

31. You owe me about a half hour

He was editor and chief for the National Journal Hotline in the late 90s in to the 2000s, evidently he called himself Charles Todd at the time, looks really different I'm surprised it clicked in my head. I jumped around in this tape I know he appears at around 32.30 he may appear more https:https//www.c-span.org/video/?86623-1/road-capital

[JI7]

32. Thanks for looking it up . I found a screen shot

I just found it hard to believe that he could have been on CSPAN considering the way he comes across on msnbc .

[PCIntern]

35. Tucker Carlson's half-brother?

Yuck-o.

[Cosmo Blues]

40. All those years ago

He was into just giving the facts, how I long for those days

[PCIntern]

34. May I make a suggestion?

Move Chuck’s slot to the 2AM to 3AM time in each time zone.

[iluvtennis]

39. That would be great. nt

[Mr. Ected]

38. And Chuck Todd should be a magnet for this kind of stuff, too

The Ed Henry, Bill O'Reilly type of magnet.
