Tornado Alley (PROG)

It makes the loss of Tim Russert all the more lamentable.

"...Chuck Todd who in September 2013 argued that it is not his job to challenge Republican lies. If this is will be his approach to Meet The Press, nothing much will change. It appears that by adding Todd and beefing Andrea Mitchell’s role on the show, NBC News is going to heavy on Beltway journalists. Of course, these same D.C. journalists are a big part of the reason why so many Americans don’t trust the mainstream press.

David Gregory got six awful years before he was shown the door, so it is a pretty safe bet that Chuck Todd has a very long leash. Except for the Beltway media types, nobody seems very excited by the news that Todd is taking over Meet The Press. Chuck Todd may love politics, but unless he can challenge the people that he is interviewing, he will end up faring about as well as David Gregory did."
