Chuck Todd attempts to do what Republicans couldn't to Hillary Clinton

[Stellar]

More/Video: DailyKos

Chuck Todd once again is attempting to rehabilitate a failed GOP exercise of character assassination and misinformation. He is attempting to do to Hillary Clinton what the Republicans have been unable to do.

Chuck Todd's indirect and direct attack on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with sly questioning makes one wonder if he is hedging his bets. If his attempt is to make himself attractive to Fox News by doing sleazy journalism in an attempt to garner a higher salary or a job in case his Meet the Press gig falls through, then he succeeded above and beyond. He succeeded with flying colors.

Chuck Todd claimed that Democrats did not ask enough hard questions. Firstly, why should they? The hearing was a fraud. Key Republicans have already admitted that. It was the job of congresspersons to safeguard the truth. It was their job to safeguard the integrity of Congress after Trey Gowdy and the Republicans tarnished its reputation by making a hearing on a national tragedy a political hacking tool.

ETA: I hate Chuck Todd with a purple passion.

1. Corporate masters have spoken and corporate news (I'll say it lightly) are

ramping up the bullshit narrative again, over and over and over and over. It seems GOPers do not learn from their mistakes.

2. Trying to tear down Hillary is not going to elevate other candidates, Republican or Democrat.

Any candidate is responsible for marketing themselves, if they don't have what it takes accept it and move on. All the whining and CT is not going to change reality.

3. It is not the job of the moderator of Meet The Press

to pitch softballs to presidential candidates.

4. Bye Todd.

that is what MSNBC should say. But it's going to take a while for them to see the error of their ways because of new management. Todd is a double agent. He will go the FOX news in the end. I want to hear their logic when this happens.

5. I'm surprised that anyone who posts here would actually listen to Chuck Toad. For what?

6. View it as an exercise in willpower

Anyone who can last through an hour of Chuck Toad without (a) screaming profanity at least 10 times; (b) throwing a shoe at the TV screen; (c) smashing the TV with a hammer; or (d) all of the above has amazing self-control. I can't last five minutes before I need to turn off the TV.

7. For anti-Hillary talking points, perhaps?

8. It's Benghazover, Chuck.

You guys Benghazilost.

10. MSNBC just purged a bunch of long time producers. Everyone at the station...

is either packing up, worried about being next or being over worked. There is a new broom and it's sweeping clean.

Therefore, everyone (including the on air folks who already had one purge) are ready and willing to do anything to prove they can't be shuffled around, cut down or outright replaced.

Expect even more drama than usual!
