How clueless is NBC? Todd is a terrible interviewer, as well as a less educated but equally conservative apologist. Would have rather seen Melissa Harris-Perry or Rachel Maddow sit in the MTP chair. But strong, intelligent women are a rare breed at NBC, since they jettisoned Christiane Amanpour.
Why doesnāt āMeet the Pressā just drop all the pretense and go ahead and hire Erick Erickson and James OāKeefe.
They can even have a 10-minute āGuest Opinionā piece each week where Rush Limbaugh, Mike Huckabee, and Laura Ingrahm can rotate with each other and tell us why Obama is the Anti-Christ.

No, their ratings are in the tank. I am a news junky and I canāt stand to watch any of the Sunday shows anymore. Can you?

You sure about that? CNN now has regular stories on whatās newly available on Netflix and Amazon Instant Videos. Right there on the front page, up top. Itās crazy.

Couldnāt agree more. Iām amazed when I go on right OR left comment threads and note accusations of bias against Todd. I donāt see it. If there, it MIGHT be marginally liberal-leaning, but certainly not excessively. More significantly though, heās someone who enjoys discussing politics, regardless of whom the guest is. And he also gives the person time to answer ā even if itās a nutball like Todd Akin. In short, Todd gives his guests enough rope to hang themselves.
Iām not sure if heāll be able to turn MTPās #s around ā for many of the reasons listed above, but I definitely think heāll be an improvement (though, personally, Iāll miss him if he leaves The Daily Rundown).

The problem with Todd is that he just isnāt very goodā¦right or left. That āitās not my jobā thing is what makes him a poor excuse for a news guy. His job is to get the story out and he doesnāt.
Sorry, Iām too busy jabbing myself in the eyes with red hot knitting needles to stop and go inflict that kind of pain on myself.
Seriously? That show is doomed.
