Did $ change hands to fluff him up as a "real" newsperson for better ratings or better image for NBC/MSNBC?

I can't stand him and felt the same even before they slotted him into Meet the Press.

Wallace is so much better as well as Velshi and Ruhle.

I turn him off or switch to CNN whenever he comes on.

I applaud anyone who states, "we will not debate climate change, we will allow no deniers time on the show... etc." we need more people saying this!!

I don't have to like Mr. Todd to appreciate his words about the pressing nature of climate change

He's a binary thinker and terrible interviewer... Every interview goes like this... "Do you believe in concept A? If not, you must believe in the polar opposite concept B. Right?" Every interview subject then tries to explain to him the world doesn't work in that black or white way.

He has no business doing what he's doing.
