Sean Patrick Maloney flattens Chuck Todd for blaming Biden

Thanks for posting!

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

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.

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

Again Chuck.

I have never liked or trusted the man.

Maloney, brilliant take down.

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

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.

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?

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!

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..

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"

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.

Toad's RW spin.

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.

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

..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$$

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.

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

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.

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

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.

waiting for change.😂

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

Felt like I needed a smoke after that one.

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

He's a great messenger for Democrats.

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

Um...2028.

Outstanding!

That is all.

Than The Rich White Guy Party.

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.

anyone on the other side!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
