'A great start': News of Chuck Todd's MSNBC show demotion met with cheers

[diehardblue]

MSNBC's Chuck Todd will have his daily show aired as a streaming service instead of as cable news, a decision that generated a great deal of social media discussion on Friday.

"Meet the Press Daily, the MSNBC program based on the Sunday public affairs show, will go streaming-only beginning next month. The show, which is anchored by Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd and runs at 1 pm weekdays, will be renamed Meet the Press Now, and will stream at 4 pm weekdays," Alex Weprin reported for The Hollywood Reporter.

Chris Jansing we inherit Todd's slot on MSNBC.

Todd has been a controversial figure at MSNBC and the network has received pressure to "fire Chuck Todd."

At the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, host Trevor Noah roasted Todd's journalism.

10. No Chuck fan here but Chris Jansing has been a B teamer

for many years. The talent pool in that field is very shallow.

[Cha]

Chris Jansing is not anything I would want to listen.. But really Glad Chuckie No Follow Tool Troll is Gone!

CT had lots of chances to do better but did he, NO.

12. Todd doesn't deserve the hate he gets here.

His work at NBC deserves much praise. He’s not at Fox, which is a trash dump. And he doesn’t have to say what casual viewers want to hear. That’s not a journalist’s job. Too bad Fox has clouded what real journalism is. And why is it a demotion? He ain’t going anywhere. I’ll bet he loves threads that let everyone know where he’ll be.

13. But not until next month.

[littlemissmartypants]

14. Yep, unfortunately. I'll never view MTP again as long as he's at the table. ❤

15. Chuck doesn't know why his show was demoted because he never asks follow up questions.
