Chuck Todd To Host New Show Called 'MTP Daily'

Source: Crooks & Liars



Mr. "Not My Job to Fact-Check" Chuck Todd will be starting his newest gig at MSNBC daily, beginning September 28 at 5 pm Eastern. Kate Snow will anchor the 3-5 pm slot with supposed "hard news."

We shall see.

From Phil Griffin's memo:

Starting next week, we’ll welcome two new anchors to our afternoon lineup, as we draw on our best breaking news talent from across MSNBC and NBC News.

<snip>

Then, on Monday, September 28, Chuck Todd’s new show will debut at 5pm. MTP Daily will bring the insight and power of Meet the Press to our air every day of the week. We hope it will become the daily cable news show of record for the 2016 campaign.

Does this mean that John McCain will be on TV six days a week?!? Poor MSNBC.


MTP daily for when a shit salad on Sunday is just not enough


Chuck Todd, the Kaopectate of News Pundits.


Why not just call it what it really is: GOP Daily?


What's MTP stand for, "Mostly Terrible Pontificating?"
No. It stands for "Mutilate Truth Purposely."
Meet the Puppet!
MTP More Tea Party.

Ratings or no ratings, owning an outlet for progressives is not good for business.

This week on Meet The Press, host Chuck Todd invited group of political comedians to the
roundtable and was questioned by The Daily Show‘s Lewis Black. He asked why hosts like
Todd let politicians go unchallenged when spreading misinformation. In a moment of unusual
(and for him, probably, regrettable) candor, Todd admitted that his job is to simply let politicians
to say what they want as long as they feel comfortable enough to want to come back to the
program.

Doubling down on this loser is a bad move. I predict their ratings will continue to drop.
