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, well 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 Todds 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.

(70,447 posts)This week on Meet The Press, host Chuck Todd invited group of political comedians to the
roundtable and was questioned by The Daily Shows 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.
