NBC News chief White House correspondent and soon-to-be Meet the Press host Chuck Todd said Monday that he plans to demystify Washington, D.C., in his new position.
Hey Toad let me help you with this demystifying--you are right wing shill for a Washington society defined by a government controlled by one percent grifters, chickenhawks, Elmer Gantry wannabes, science deniers, and teahaddists.
There toad, that wasn't so hard.

(14,560 posts)I think he is simply a corporate sellout POS, who saw that the best way to get ahead was to snark on democrats and kiss republican butt ...

David Gregory for example.

(8,749 posts)Americans will be put in a coma if you demystify DC. The day to day stuff, the nuts and bolts stuff is boring as hell. It will kill a for-profit TV show.
Maybe MTP is giving Todd all the rope he wants to hang himself?

(20,176 posts)and replace him with Chris Jansing. Last week's MtP was the best episode of Meet the Press since Tim Russert was behind the desk; not that Big Russ was that great but they've had a pair of real stinkers in David Gregory and now Chuck Todd since then.
The person behind the desk at MtP needs to be an investigative journalist, not a political reporter/pundit. Politics is bloodsport and truth is the only referee. The last thing needed in that job is a fake journalist who feels no obligation to the truth and that it's not his job to challenge disinformation and outright lies.
