Chuck Todd melts down on air when his
bias is challenged, then makes it worse

A bully has more than met his match, and – like most bullies -- has disgraced himself when challenged. Chuck Todd is a bully in possession of a huge weapon, NBC News, of which he is political director, and his perch as host of its premier program, Meet the Press. But all it took was a challenge from normally mild-mannered Senator Ron Johnson to have Todd shaking in his chair, his voice cracking, and abruptly ending his interview on Meet the Press.
Todd must have been expecting another Republican patsy when he framed the interview (complete video embedded below) as about “the Republican effort to delegitimize Joe Biden’s election”

Does anyone who actually likes this country ever watch NBC News?

Looks like they are losing their minds. Time to confront all so called 'journalists' and watch them melt down from the truth. Nobody believed Capt. Quigg after he lost it.

I can't stand smug, moron liberals. I'm sure Todd got his books thrown into the river after school.

If he loses the Jan 6 vote (which looks more and more certain) I believe one of Trump's first tasks out of office will be to build a powerful Conservative News Service to replace the Alphabet. and Fox. Newsmax looks like a good starting point but they are holding out. Let us see.

I didn't see a meltdown, I saw a talking news head lying calmly and presenting the leftist version of the truth just like normal and talking over a highly intelligent US Senator like he was some kind of conspiracy nut. Four years of the msm and a rogue House criminally harassing President Trump was presented as normal behavior. Only real lunatics can lie that calmly.

So much for interviewing a 'mild-mannered' Republican. Todd should probably stick to hosting Dems and Rino's.

I could listen to Ron Johnson all day, even with a crazy AH yelling at him and pointing a finger at him on a live broadcast. Chuck U. must have been fun to watch when he was a real person. Now, he is just a cardboard cutout of a Foghorn Leghorn. If bat guano is well preserved in caves, maybe NBC should broadcast Meet the Press from some cave in Virginia.

Now I remember why I stopped watching this “news” show. Nauseating. Johnson stood his ground. F Chuck Todd looked like a fool.

I saw a hopelessly partisan news reader become part of the story. He had a narrative to reinforce, and no interest in discussing the widespread irregularities and fraud we would never have known about, if not for Republicans calling them out, and less biased news sources actually reporting on multiple efforts to fix the election.
At no time did Todd admit to his audience that yes, 42,000 people voted twice! Voting machines hooked up to the internet were not worth discussing. They never got to the part where our election information was sent to Spain and Germany. Todd apparently had no interest is where fake ballots came from, how dead people managed to vote, or chain of custody matters. No interest in why multiple states shut down at the same time, only to return with Joe Biden now "winning."
Todd simply moved on to suggest Senator Johnson and his colleagues, by challenging some state electors were doing so to "curry favor" with President Trump. Put another way, the guy who gets paid to read what he's told happened. tried to belittle an elected representative for seeking facts through a legitimate investigation. Todd claimed Johnson had only "allegations," and since 57 cases were filed but not permitted to go forward, the problem was with 73 million Americans and their electeds demanding an investigation.
Someone should tell Todd that whatever skepticism he was trying to convey by moving his tongue around in his cheek was a giant fail. Much as he may have wanted to appear to be the smartest guy in the room, he clearly was not. Which could explain why the outmatched wimp asked Johnson why there was no investigation of 911 Truthers, and did he believe in the moon landing?

What would a body language specialist make of Todd hugging himself while rocking back and forth?

Chuckie really lost control of himself in this interview with Johnson. Sitting there with his arms folded. Pointing his fingers and raising his palm. And he is a news director? Are you kidding me?

Todd's reaction is why I think if we pulled in all these media seditionists and so much as threatened to waterboard them, they'd rat out all their handlers and fellow travelers in a heartbeat. It would be a quick quick way to find the cells that are behind what's going on in subverting the Republic.

Chuck Todd and his ilk are not journalists. There are no journalists any longer, because no one believes in absolute truth any longer (thus, no need to find and report it). All that is left is a phalanx of partisan agitators with bullhorns, each trying to shout louder than their ideological opponent. This "interview" proves it. Journalism is dead.

You know, if he would have ever graduated from college he might have learned professionalism and critical thinking. Unfortunately, for him, those qualities are missing on every broadcast.

Just now watched the entire interview. Chuckie - that creepy, smug, arrogant, condescending, rat-faced, ugly little man with the weird finger-jabbing - showed his contempt for a man who was making reasonable points regarding verified irregularities in this election. My contempt for Todd and his like-minded, biased colleagues is beyond description, and not printable.

I must be an awfully violent person, I just wanted to slap that Todd person in the face.
What an idiot. Making accusations of false claims while they made the false Russian claim for 4 years and we know it was Hillary who paid for it.

For someone who perceives himself as very intelligent, Todd came off in this interview like a 10 year old caught shoplifting. Johnson put his thingie in the dirt and never broke a sweat.

“One day a woman visited St. Philip Neri. She was known for her wicked tongue and gossip, often stirring up the pot sharing other peoples’ faults.
St. Philip gave her some money to go buy a chicken at the store. After the chicken was killed, St. Philip asked her, as she walked back, to pluck all the feathers off the chicken. The woman was delighted that the saintly St. Philip had asked her to do something for him.
She went to buy the chicken, and as she walked back to St. Philip, she plucked every feather off. When she arrived, she handed him a freshly plucked chicken. He thanked her and then asked her another favor.
“Now go back once more, and gather all the feathers of the chicken you just plucked.”
She objected, “That is impossible, Father. The wind has scattered the feathers in every direction.”
Then St. Philip Neri responded, “Let this be a lesson for you, for it is exactly the same with your wicked words. Just as the chicken feathers have been scattered by the wind in every direction, so have your wicked words been scattered in every direction by other people, repeating your stories!”

I don't really know anything about this Todd character, only heard of him here, since he is on a channel that I NEVER watch. Sounds like a mouthy leftist loser.....which is why I don't watch that channel.
