http://www.mediaite.com/tv/chuck-todd-jabs-at-cnn-again-breaking-news-abuse-hurts-all-of-us/Two days after taking a thinly-veiled shot at CNNs aggressive use of breaking news headlines for not-so-breaking bits of information about the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370, MSNBC anchor Chuck Todd is back again with some scolding words for his rival network.
Hey Chuck Toad here is an item which is not breaking news: You are a useful idiot and shill for the rethugs who deliberately replaces thoughtful commentary with right-wing propaganda.

Show this morning & they had a "Breaking Overnight" banner that accompanied a story about "how nothing new is known about the flight." I just did an exaggerated eye roll & changed to Dog-TV. My cats are addicted.
