The real reason Chuck Todd needs to be fired

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.

The late Jerry Springer put a lot of garbage people on the air, but at least he’d push back against them a little, and he admitted it was all just entertainment. I only bring this up because it occurs to me that Meet The Press host Chuck Todd constantly puts garbage people on the air, doesn’t push back at all, and pretends it’s journalism.

Jerry Springer certainly wouldn’t have wanted to host Meet The Press, and he wouldn’t have been good at it even if he tried – but he’d have done a better job than Chuck Todd. And that alone is an argument for why Chuck Todd should be fired.

Here’s the worst part about it. Chuck Todd pioneered the concept of dishonestly slanting things so he can falsely portray Democrats and Republicans as being the same, in a way that’s given him stronger ratings than the other Sunday morning political shows. Accordingly, the other Sunday morning shows are now mimicking his dishonestly biased attempt at appearing unbiased. Chuck Todd hasn’t just ruined Meet The Press, he’s ruined every Sunday morning show. He’s one of the most destructively dishonest forces in the modern history of political journalism. This guy needs to be fired yesterday.
