Watch Chuck Todd's journalistic fail come back to bite him (VIDEO)

6. Don't forget to blame NBC!

He [Chuck Todd] and [David] Gregory are ruining [Meet the Press ]. It is unwatchable.

Credit has to also go to NBC News.

This is direction that program has been taking for a few years. So NBC should not be dismissed while only crediting previous host David Gregory and his latest replacement Chuck Todd. NBC is fine with the rightwing/Republican suckup, the lack of real journalism, and the false equivalencies.

What becomes a problem are those ratings for Meet the Press. But, NBC hasn't been smart. Given what has become of that network's prime-time ratings (30 years the network premiered The Cosby Show and ruled Thursday nights, which moved the network to finish at No. 2 for the 1984-85 season and, of course, shot up to No. 1 for the 1985-86 season), this is attributed to horrible leadership and some other characteristics one might want to know which would address what goes on behind the scenes (like, perhaps, cronyism).

I don't watch Meet the Press anymore. And I've moved myself off the other Sunday-morning roundtable discussion shows. I feel what time I was willing to give any of them was at least 90 percent wasted.
