Sean Patrick Maloney flattens Chuck Todd for blaming Biden

[spanone]

FUCK CHUCK

[Meadowoak]

1. That was epic.

[WA-03 Democrat]

2. Excellent!

Thanks for posting!

[spanone]

5. You're welcome!!!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

3. I no longer have respect for Chuck Todd...

He's the kid when growing up who complained he had no friends and what few friends he had, he bullied.

[calimary]

10. I never had much respect for Chuck Todd.

All I ever saw when he came on was cocky and smug. I found him to be a big turnoff. Besides, he never seemed that sympathetic to my side of the argument. Spent far more time bolstering the voices and personalities that didn’t interest me.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

27. Welcome finally to a not so exclusive club!!

[Mickju]

39. I think his intelligence is sub par.

[vanlassie]

4. Chuck is so lazy and thoughtless.

Not a scintilla of imagination in his “Mitchell/Todd” style. Phone it in again, Chuck. 🥱

[TomDaisy]

36. exactly. just a little parrot for GOP talking points. no further thought given.

[Cha]

45. "Phone it in".. and Fuck It UP

Again Chuck.

[sheshe2]

6. Chuck is a corporate TOAD.

I have never liked or trusted the man.

Maloney, brilliant take down.

[LakeArenal]

18. Maybe "never" liked or trusted?

[sheshe2]

29. Oops. Thanks!

[LakeArenal]

32. I understood. But I know you want no hint of liking Toad.

[sheshe2]

53. True.

I was always told not to pick up a toad as a kid, they give you warts.

[LakeArenal]

55. Spine shiver.

[Cha]

46. We kinda are "Perfect" compared to

Gaslit Fascist Shitheads who want to take away our Social Security and All our RIGHTS while Overthrowing our Democracy.

Can't blame Pres Biden for that.. that's right at the Fuckface's Ugly mouth The Big Ass Elephant in the room.

[sheshe2]

54. Sing is Sista!

[Cha]

56. Mahalo, she! 💖🤷‍♂️

[msfiddlestix]

7. Maloney did exceedingly well in his responses to Todd's ridiculous questions

He stuck to the message pitch perfect.

But flattening the Toad isn't what happened.

Not even close.



when that actually happens, I wonder how it will be framed?

[Zambero]

11. Not gushing over the guy, but Todd teed this one up nicely

Even if unwittingly. I'm guessing Maloney was hoping that this line of questioning around Biden and the mid-terms might come up. His answers were spot on. Keep 'em coming Chuck. Responsible adults have actual fact-based replies!

[msfiddlestix]

17. I agree. Perfectly scripted Q & A

The "flattening" thingy in this discussion is not what happened, though.

I see these descriptions, click and feel I'd been had. Click Bait.

Why can't we just collectively agree to post announcements of interviews sans exaggerated descriptors?

Simply state Maloney on Toad's MTP ... , or similar.

sigh..

[stopdiggin]

20. +1. 'flattened' isn't really indicative

of this exchange. (and further - why does it have to be?) You're right, do I have to be lured in with click-bait titling?

"Maloney Has a Very Nice (and solid) Answer For (predictable) Biden/Midterm Question"

[msfiddlestix]

62. ✔️

That title would have incentivized me to watch the interview, would have looked forward to in fact.

There are moments from to time we could use a healthy dose of realism, especially when it's something to feel good about.

[mcar]

8. So glad to see SPM shut down

Toad's RW spin.

[spanone]

14. He did the same to Jake Tapper on cnn 3 days ago

9. Chuck Todd's question to Rep. Maloney boiled down to this:

Are you going to hold Joe Biden responsible for all the big democratic losses in the
up coming election?

Maloney was having none of Up-Chuck's right wing talking points.

[calimary]

13. Thank God SOMEBODY pushes back on that smug putz.

Chuckie-boy, you can STOP the let’s-assume-the-worst-about-Democrats schtick. Any ol’ time now.

[aggiesal]

12. Is the Toads a$$ water tight? n/t

[calimary]

15. I'm sure his GOP pals keep it well-protected.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

16. Chuck is a sapo y es un sonzo! Glad Maloney highlighted Pres. Biden's

..litany of accomplishments. Perfect for Sunday before election day-- best messaging I've heard so far! Maloney hit it out of the park..leaving sapotodd with that stunned look that racist guy kkkarlson @ faux "news" often sports eg deer in the headlight kinda of look.. 😳 ✓ that looks!

Ps. F#@$ sapotodd! What a culero!


Sapo:..slang: ugly toad face; all around sleezy person
Sonso: stupid, dumb, foolish, silly
Culero: a$$

[Hekate]

19. "Responsible adults" is good

[GB_RN]

21. Chucky Toad...

Jesus…he is soooo unqualified for and so bad at his job, it’s ridiculous. My 3 year old daughter could do a better job…and I don’t even HAVE a daughter.

[MontanaMama]

22. Why does Toad have a job on MSNBC?

[Paladin]

23. Fuck you where you breathe, Chuck Todd.

Wasn't your constant trashing of Hillary Clinton in 2016 enough? Let me help you with that one: Yes, it was more than enough.

[Traildogbob]

25. 👏👏👏

Go to Fox, he is such a Tucker Todd or a Chuck Hannity. Never gonna happen but he and Mitchell need a little culture education. The Cancel type.

[Paladin]

31. I despise both Todd and Mitchell.

Why MSNBC still flushes away significant money on them is a mystery.

[peggysue2]

24. That was heartening to listen to

Because Chuckles T. and too many of these talking heads simply want to spew their 'conventional wisdom' be it true or not. Maloney put him in his place.

Good one on him!

We need more of this.

[Fullduplexxx]

26. Nicely said but he hardly flattens the toad

[diehardblue]

48. No, he squashed the life out of Todd and left him looking like a penny

waiting for change.😂

[Conjuay]

28. Chuck needs to be

selling number two’s on a street corner - either pencils or the other kind; doesn’t matter to me.

[republianmushroom]

30. I like it

[Emile]

33. OMG he spanked Chuck Todd on live TV 😂

[WiVoter]

34. Damn.

Felt like I needed a smoke after that one.

[Emile]

35. LOL

[packman]

37. Not to defend Todd - But he put Scott in the headlights

38. Right on!

Whoa, best answer to Todd’s crap I think I e ever heard.

[PatSeg]

40. I really like Maloney

He's a great messenger for Democrats.

As for Chuck Todd, I swear he is getting worse, if that is even possible.

[sarcasmo]

Outstanding!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

47. Chuck Turd.

That is all.

[czarjak]

49. What Sean Patrick Maloney said. Every time! Be Better...

Than The Rich White Guy Party.

[GoodRaisin]

50. Great answer by Maloney to a talking point that gets repeated over and over

on all the M$M outlets every day at the direction of their corporate overlords. Todd’s not my favorite either but Maloney was blasting all the Todds that lead in to their audiences with that thought.

[cilla4progress]

51. I'll take him on his worst day over

anyone on the other side!

[flying_wahini]

52. Maloney is way nicer than I would have been.

[dlk]

57. Todd is consistently awful

Is there anyone who actually likes him? Maloney was great, as usual.

[soldierant]

58. I do love Sean Patrick.

I'm a little farther progressive than he is. But I think he's sound, and I think he tells it like it is, and I love him for it.

[ificandream]

59. MALONEY DIDN'T FLATTEN TODD. HE ANSWERED HIS QUESTIONS. Questions Todd had every right to ask.

This isn't Fox Noise, folks. MSNBC is a real legitimate news organization. It's Todd's job to interview and ask questions and therefore get information. He may ask questions about topics you and I don't want to know about. This isn't scripted news (aka Fox Noise). But Maloney answered those questions calmly and directly. Both men did their jobs in this interview.

It irks me to see people go after people like Todd because they don't say everything people want them to say. It's not the news media's job -- the REAL news media -- to ask questions they already know the answers to (aka Fox Noise). And as a responsible news organization, they have to get all angles as well. That's the difference between MSNBC and Fox Noise. Fox is there to play to their base and do powderpuff interviews. That's not what a real news organization does. Yes, it can get to you. But if it's one thing Fox has done it's given the impression that the media is there to pet you and be your friend all the time. That's not how a real news organization works. Freedom of the press means just that and not the bullshit trash that passes for n*** on Fox. (I won't use that word anywhere near Fox because they just aren't.)

And if you're wondering, I worked in journalism for over three decades. REAL journalism.

[betsuni]

61. Agree!

I hadn't seen Meet the Press for years but watched a few shows recently because they've been showing up at the top of YouTube page. There are so many I Hate Chuck Todd complaints that I was surprised. He seems prepared and asks the usual questions, I see nothing to hate or be angry with.

[lees1975]

63. I worked in journalism and was trained in it as well

and what Chuck Todd did here was give Maloney an opening to make a list of everything Biden is doing to repair the damage left behind in the wake of the disastrous, failed Trump presidency. Then, as Maloney laid it out forcefully, Todd didn't interrupt or interject another talking point, he just followed up.

When Todd is in roundtable discussions or other similar forums, he tends toward parroting talking points, rather than getting into a deep discussion of issues. But if I were going to take bets on it, I'd say that Todd's ballot in this election will not include a vote for a single Republican.

[ificandream]

64. Definitely agree with your first point.

As for the second, there are different ways to conduct interviews. Todd has his. The idea of an interview is to get information, not propaganda. On that level, he succeeds in getting information, IMO.
