Fire Chuck Todd

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

NBC Meet The Press host Chuck Todd has announced that Hugh Hewitt, a deranged and extremist Trump apologist with extraordinarily offensive views, will be one of his guests this Sunday. It’s prompted a new round of widespread calls for Todd’s firing on Twitter.

It’s also raised questions about why Chuck Todd still has a weekday gig on MSNBC. He was recently demoted from the 5pm time slot to the less desirable 1pm time slot, but MSNBC’s audience keeps making clear that it doesn’t want his “both sides” nonsense on the air.

Here’s how to fix MSNBC: 1) Fire Chuck Todd. 2) End the “both sides” narratives that seek to paint a false picture of both parties being the same. 3) More diversity among hosts. 4) Stop quoting individual polls out of context of the polling averages. 5) Stop booking lying Trump surrogates, or any guest who is going to simply lie the entire time. 6) Seriously, fire Chuck Todd.
