Chuck Todd is finally embarrassed

Oh...so I see that Chuck Todd is finally embarrassed by Washington because of all the impeachment talk. I have a few questions for Mr. Todd:

Were you embarrassed by the fact that our first African American President was required to produce a birth certificate?

Were you embarrassed when Rep. Joe Wilson shouted "You lie" to President Obama during a SOTU speech?

snip/

If none of those things embarrassed you as an American who happens to be a political journalist, then you're an idiot! Chuck Todd - you are an embarrassment to your profession.

F**K You Chuck Toady! You are an embarrassment to your profession and to this country.

Thu Jul 31, 2014, 12:29 AM

The main requirements to be CEO at a large corporation nowadays that the candidate must know absolutely nothing about anythinjg and have no clue how to run a business. An advanced degree in business from an Ivy League university would also be helpful, as it would strongly indicate that he knows nothing about running a business.

If the candidate selected, his duties will include running the company into the ground in three years or less. If he is not successful in this task, the board of directors will be required to hire a private equity firm to finish the job.

Here he is performing a rectumectomy on Chuck Todd. It has been revealed, also, that Chuck asked him why he called him out like that backstage.

Start about the 3 minute mark.

The only way to bring Sunday political talk shows out of the doldrums is to have a real journalist ask real questions and force the politicos to answer. Period.

There is a difference. If he was embarrassed, he would almost be admitting some complicity in the childish behavior of the politicians. But he more like a Mom, whose kids have embarrassed her and she's disgusted with them.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2014/07/30/a_dark_theory_about_the_sudden_impeachmania_outbreak.html

"But the worm really turned last night and this morning. Jonathan Topaz captured the scene on Morning Joe, where MSNBC's least liberal hosts often scoff at the travails of the White House, and where Chuck Todd went brutal.


This is the most cynical — Boehner’s up there with this ridiculous lawsuit, Josh Earnest sitting at the podium trying to tick off names of, "Look at Republicans who want impeachment" — it’s not serious. The lawsuit’s not serious. The impeachment talk’s not serious. This is playground stuff. This is embarrassing."

or is he embarrassed because of the blowback Republicans are getting when they thought they would be hailed as heroes for pushing hard, hard, hard to impeach Obama?

Methinks it is the latter.

There are plenty of others in the news media that deserve scorn but I see a LOT of people piling on Chuck. Someone, please help me to understand the wrath against Chuck Todd.

Stick around and you'll hear worse. Chuck Todd is one of those smarmy 'journalists' who never says anything outright derogatory to your face, he says it more like old Victorian ladies spreading gossip. "Oh, my, I don't believe it's true, but did you hear..?" He follows the Faux script to a tee.
"People have been saying..."
"There are claims being made..."
"Some officials allege..."
"According to our sources..."
"There have been numerous complaints..."

Just the usual vague I'm-gonna-nail-you-to-the-wall-with-shit-I'm-making-up.

peddling the "both sides do it" nonsense. Since he is not an anchor like Brian Williams (who reads what is put on the teleprompter for news), his refusal to correct the perpetual false information is why he fails. Example - http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/chuck-todd-it-s-not-media-s-job-to-correct-gop-s-obamacare-falsehoods-video

Walter Cronkite has certainly been spinning in his grave with this current crop of purported "journalists" and "analysts". They are a disgrace to the profession.
