The host is launching a weekly political program on the network's live-streaming outlet NBC News Now as well as on Peacock, NBC Universal's "free as a bird" streaming-video service, in September. Todd's haters crowed about this demotion even as Variety, which originally reported the news, framed it as an expansion. The shift also moves Ayman Mohyeldin, who formerly anchored MSNBC's 5 a.m. "Deadline White House" program to two hours, bumping Todd's "Meet the Press" daily show to 1 p.m. This explains the grave dancing in response to the recently announced changes in MSNBC's schedule, expanding Nicolle Wallace's 4 p.m. It's just that Todd is the most recognizable face of this industry-wide failure. The White House press corps struggles to push back on a lot of this administration's unfounded claims, or has given up trying. His claim to fame may be his inability to push back on fallacious claims and outright lies, but he's far from alone in that. Instead, I think it's more accurate to say that Todd is the poster model for journalistic ineptitude. And at the risk of arousing the rage of the social media mob, it's not quite fair. That's the general consensus at which Twitter has arrived about the MSNBC host and "Meet the Press" moderator. Hating on Chuck Todd is easy 'cause he's terrible.
