Discussion: Report: Chuck Todd To Be Named New Host Of 'Meet The Press' Today

That needs a middle initial. “T,” I think. Maybe “O.”

Most disappointing news. It should be Rachel, she has earned it, Chuck, doing live shots at the White House, not so much.

Rachel Maddow is about the only person with extreme competence in the entire NBC news department. She actually does her research, and can interview anybody. Imagine Rand Paul having to go on MTP with Rachel as host.

shit… just, shit. I abhor this facile, one dimensional, self-absorbed dork. His MSNBC ad is only one example of chuckles the clown reminding us that he is special, very specialer, than anyone else.
His “tough questions” cover things as deep as “Your favorite color?” and "What is wrong with the Democrats in the house? “Both sides do it”…
and the classic "journalistic moment " his expression of "what his job is…

Replacing Gomer with Goober won’t entice new viewers. MTP is dead, dead, dead.

I expect less info and more tainment from this Bozo. Politics as prize fighting bouts. More drama, more conflict. Less root cause analysis and underlying comprehension. Don’t give me any information, just show me the passion!

AAArgh!

Rachel Maddow or Gwen Ifill hosting is what MTP needs. Todd is a barely-perceivable improvement over Gregory, and not nearly enough to change the downward trajectory of the program.

“David Gregory will so quickly be replaced by Todd that it’s unlikely he’ll host the network’s flagship Sunday news program this weekend.”

A nanosecond of sweet, sweet schadenfreude.

Rudely interrupted by the realization that Todd’s insufferably big head will now bloat to Hindenburg proportions.

Well Hayes is pretty good, too, as is Steve Kornacki. O’Donnell’s verbal talents and ability to place the matters before us in perspective is also outstanding. Anyone but Chuckie, “It’s not my job to get the facts straight” Todd (short for GOP toadie?).

one dope for another. Rachel could wipe the floor with both these clowns.

Sure, that’s the trick; replace one right-wing, corporatist shill with another right wing, corporatist shill. That will save MP…NOT!

As if hiring this asshole is going to help.

I’ll give Chuck Todd 12 months before MTP fires his arse too! And I still won’t watch MTP. Apparently out of shape middle aged white men are capable of hosting this show. #EPICFAIL
