(58,785 posts)all through 20152016. He did it so well that he was promoted and used to poison especially Democratic minds against Hillary and other Democrats in every timeslot he could stay awake for damned near 7 days a week.
Obviously. After all any informed viewer who had listened Thoughtfully to even ONE of his shows back then would have marked him for the right wing agent and very skilled character assassin he is.

Inform the Public? Not My Job, Says Chuck Todd
Appearing on MSNBCs Morning Joe today (9/18/13), Todd responded to Ed Rendells claim that Obamacare opponents are full of misinformation about the program by explaining that this was because Republicans have successfully messaged against it. But wasnt journalisms job to expose misinformation? No, Todd insisted; if the public was misinformed about the Affordable Care Act, it was the presidents fault for not pushing back:
What I always love is people say, Well, its you folks fault in the media. No, its the president of the United States fault for not selling it.
Its sad that NBCs White House correspondent thinks his job is merely to convey politicians pronouncements, with no care about whether they are true or false. In fact, scrutinizing claims, particularly those from powerful officials, is an essential part of journalism. Its embarrassing to have to cite elementary principles to one the nations most influential reporters, but Todd should consider reviewing the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics, where, under the heading Seek Truth and Report It, the very first tenet implores journalists to test the accuracy of information from all sources.
Todd isnt alone among influential journalists claiming that factchecking sources is outside their job purview. In 2004, NPRs Ron Elving declared that journalism was incapable of calling out the lies about John Kerrys military record spread by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, claiming: There is no way that journalism can satisfy those who think that Kerry is a liar or that Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are liars. Journalists throwing up their hands when it came to the distortion of Kerrys military record may have determined the outcome of the 2004 election.

(3,614 posts)Back when I first started watching C-SPAN (Washington Journal in early am), he was a moderator.
I didn't have much of an opinion about him one way or the other, but after seeing the article in this OP, I now suspect that he might be the source where Trump is now saying that Steve Scully is a Never Trumper.
Scully has never shown his colors one way or the other that I have ever seen. Recently, Scully's Twitter account was hacked, it is being investigated by the FBI, but it seems that there was an all out effort to discredit him prior to the debate.
And somehow, I just have this gut feeling that Toad was at the center of it.... I don't know this to be a fact, but I bet it is true.
He is a jackass.

(34,661 posts)Toad was involved in a Dem running for President during the Iowa Caucus back in 92'. Instead of trying to turn out voters for his Candidate in Iowa,he was doing Campaign Stops in Minnesota at the Chef Cafe and Truck Stops along I 90. Like you,he gave me lip cause I wouldn't move from a Fuel Pump and blocked his exit form that Cafe.
Dumb shit sure made a ass of himself,his Candidate came off the Bus to apologize for Todd's smart ass mouth. That was a interesting discussion. Nuf said.

(2,594 posts)the 2nd Presidential debate was scheduled. This is complete unfairness. Most likely the reThugs reached out to Toad man. This is so beyond the pale I cannot fathom. Why did any news org give him time. He should have had to buy it on some cable channel. NBC news boycott is on in this household.

(1,178 posts)Need any more proof that Trump's "fake media" rhetoric is all an act? It's only fake media out of convenience, yet he has his base believing he hates the media.
