Chuck Todd inserts his foot into his mouth yet again




Jennifer Bendery @jbendery
Chuck Todd: Think Biden's State of the Union address will resonate with Ukrainians?

NBC correspondent in Lviv, Ukraine: So its 6am here and people may be a little preoccupied because Russians are invading their country and trying to take it over.

He already has his head up his hind end. Getting his leg in there too with enough aim to hit his mouth. I just don't believe he is that talented.

Seriously. What passes for serious reporting now is really something. Why in God's green earth would anyone think the average Ukrainian has time to worry about American politics? Ever, but especially now. That ego is really something.

While we tend to see the situational contrast between his question and the response he got, it’s not an irrelevant question. Busy fighting though they may be, I would wager that a blog post or text message referencing some of Biden’s stronger language would bring some personal, if not national hope to the Ukrainian resistance.

Chuck Toad immediately launched into a mindless blather about how Biden should have said this and should have said that, and the speech "won't age well" whatever that means...

I've disliked Toad for years but last night was the last straw. He's disgusting.

From what I have seen of the reporting by both of them, they might as well wear elephant insignia on their lapels and MAGA hats while on camera. I don't perceive any serious attempt by either of them to conceal their party affiliation.

for a couple of weeks now. I have to say that I am in a much better frame of mind. I get all my news from c-span or DU and haven't had to listen to talking heads, like Mr. Toad (er, Todd) telling us what to think. Can anyone recommend an antenna for watching local news? I'd like to cancel the cable service permanently.

merely not watch him, I DON'T. But he finds a way to insinuate himself constantly, given he holds three official positions, including Political Director at NBC (thank you, no thank you late Tim Russert for pushing this uneducated POS on us). And to those few who support him, wake the hell up. He is pushing RW memes on the public constantly.

I don't even think he's a republican like some here do, or rather I don't think you can tell one way or the other because he's too dense.
