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.

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.. |

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.

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. |

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.

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. |

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.
