Boy, NBC really doesn’t have a clue why we hated David Gregory, or they wouldn’t be replacing him with someone so similar:
Chuck Todd, a political obsessive and rabid sports fan, is the likely successor to David Gregory as moderator of “Meet the Press,” with the change expected to be announced in coming weeks, according to top political sources. The move is an effort by NBC News President Deborah Turness to restore passion and insider cred to a network treasure that has been adrift since the death in 2008 of the irreplaceable Tim Russert. Although Todd is not a classic television performer guaranteed to wow focus groups, his NBC bosses have been impressed by his love of the game, which brings with it authenticity, sources, and a loyal following among newsmakers and political junkies.
The neo-cons in the Obama administration (mostly Clintonites) talked Obama into sending heavily armed ‘advisors’ into Iraq a few weeks back. Chuck applauded that move. These same neo-cons have now talked Obama into bombing ISIS in Iraq. Chuck says that even though this might be a slippery slope he’s all for it. He also tells us that it was UN Ambassador Samantha Power’s brain child to call the bombing a “humanitarian effort.” Don’t we all know what’s coming next? Consider the chutzpah, the insolence, of the neo-con (Zionist) warmongers in trying to convince the public that a 2nd war in Iraq is the right course of action. They are hoping to sell this idiocy by paying folks like Todd and Gregory to “get’r done.”
“… his love of the game …” says it all.
Just goes to show, it’s not the talking head that makes the decision it’s the producers and owners of the network. Blatant Reich-wing fuckers that they are.
