Oh...so I see that Chuck Todd is finally embarrassed by Washington because of all the impeachment talk. I have a few questions for Mr. Todd:
Were you embarrassed by the fact that our first African American President was required to produce a birth certificate?
Were you embarrassed when Rep. Joe Wilson shouted "You lie" to President Obama during a SOTU speech?

If none of those things embarrassed you as an American who happens to be a political journalist, then you're an idiot! Chuck Todd - you are an embarrassment to your profession.

F**K You Chuck Toady! You are an embarrassment to your profession and to this country.

(21,646 posts)-POTUS was even a bigger shocker . That he was not condemned and ostracized immediately for his inappropriate action was an even bigger shock to me .
Why not even the etiquette crowd had more than a raised eyebrow but they have had a lot to say about how the First Family acted or dressed incorrectly everywhere they go.

(10,597 posts)... about the third day after he got his show on MSNBC. I'm shocked that he hasn't moved to FOX already, or Fox Lite (CNN.) I also was shocked to see him on Rachel's show tonight! I bet you money the network forced her to have him on. You all know where he started out, don't you?

(45,984 posts)The main requirements to be CEO at a large corporation nowadays that the candidate must know absolutely nothing about anythinjg and have no clue how to run a business. An advanced degree in business from an Ivy League university would also be helpful, as it would strongly indicate that he knows nothing about running a business.
If the candidate selected, his duties will include running the company into the ground in three years or less. If he is not successful in this task, the board of directors will be required to hire a private equity firm to finish the job.

Here he is performing a rectumectomy on Chuck Todd. It has been revealed, also, that Chuck asked him why he called him out like that backstage.

(23,347 posts)There is a difference. If he was embarrassed, he would almost be admitting some complicity in the childish behavior of the politicians. But he more like a Mom, whose kids have embarrassed her and she's disgusted with them.

"But the worm really turned last night and this morning. Jonathan Topaz captured the scene on Morning Joe, where MSNBC's least liberal hosts often scoff at the travails of the White House, and where Chuck Todd went brutal.
This is the most cynical Boehners up there with this ridiculous lawsuit, Josh Earnest sitting at the podium trying to tick off names of, "Look at Republicans who want impeachment" its not serious. The lawsuits not serious. The impeachment talks not serious. This is playground stuff. This is embarrassing."
rurallib
(62,344 posts)or is he embarrassed because of the blowback Republicans are getting when they thought they would be hailed as heroes for pushing hard, hard, hard to impeach Obama?
Methinks it is the latter.

(402 posts)This isn't the first time I've seen derogatory posts on this site in regards to Chuck Todd. I gather there is a good reason for you to feel that way, but I missed it. There are plenty of others in the news media that deserve scorn but I see a LOT of people piling on Chuck. Someone, please help me to understand the wrath against Chuck Todd.
Rozlee
(2,529 posts)Stick around and you'll hear worse. Chuck Todd is one of those smarmy 'journalists' who never says anything outright derogatory to your face, he says it more like old Victorian ladies spreading gossip. "Oh, my, I don't believe it's true, but did you hear..?" He follows the Faux script to a tee.
"People have been saying..."
"There are claims being made..."
"Some officials allege..."
"According to our sources..."
"There have been numerous complaints..."
Just the usual vague I'm-gonna-nail-you-to-the-wall-with-shit-I'm-making-up.
JeaneRaye
(402 posts)I haven't noticed that Chuck Todd does all the things you say, but I'll pay more attention to him in the future. And thanks for the welcome to DU but I've been visiting this website regularly since GWB stole the election, in other words, for a long time. No welcome necessary.

(127,289 posts)peddling the "both sides do it" nonsense. Since he is not an anchor like Brian Williams (who reads what is put on the teleprompter for news), his refusal to correct the perpetual false information is why he fails. Example - http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/chuck-todd-it-s-not-media-s-job-to-correct-gop-s-obamacare-falsehoods-video
Walter Cronkite has certainly been spinning in his grave with this current crop of purported "journalists" and "analysts". They are a disgrace to the profession.
