42. Yup, exactly. Todd's main job at MSNBC is to suppress the vote on the left.

For the purpose of electing Republicans and defeating Democrats, of course, which is MSNbC and CNN management's goal. If he were at Fox he'd spout Fox lies. On MSNBC he targets his delicately poisonous spins at MSNBC's demographic sand and is very good at undermining weak convictions and convincing those easily discouraged that there's no one to vote for.

One of his most deadly methods is drawing false comparisons of Democrats with corrupt Republicans. In 2016 that was devastating. Claims by LW anti-Democrats that Democrats were just as bad as Republicans etc were augmented by Russia and RW media and "confirmed" every day by Todd and other trusted scoundrels in the MSM.

That's why MSNBC gave him MTP and has him working everywhere else too. But especially daytime slots where audience ignorance and vulnerability are stronger than evening shows. After all, the vote of a near-destitute home caregiver who watches daytime shows, and could be brought to think Hillary was lying when she promised to help caregivers, counts just as much as that of someone making four times as much who tunes in in the evening.
