Chuck Todd just said "goddamit" on live TV

[spiderpig]

With all that's going on now this is a ridiculous small point, but I don't think the on-air personalities have two sh*ts to give anymore.

[cwydro]

1. I've seen one NBC host, and three CNN hosts break down in tears over the last month.

Difficult time for them, as for all of us.

[dewsgirl]

5. Stephanie Ruhle broke down this morning.😔

[cwydro]

8. Oh dear, I missed that.

Makes me sad to see.

[tblue37]

19. Over a deaf Trader Joe's employee who can't read lips because of masks. I have the same problem

as a customer. I am severely hearing impaired, and even with my hearing aids, without reading lips I can't understand what people say to me.

[dewsgirl]

37. I'm so sorry, that has to be incredibly frustrating. 😔

[tblue37]

38. It is. When a cashier tries to talk to me & I explain why I can't chat, they inevitably

pull their mask down to speak, and inevitably it's just to say something like, "How has your day been?" I understand that they are expected to say such things to customers in normal times, and that habit kicks in, but I don't want them to lower their masks to say something unnecessary to me--for their sake as much as for my own.

[dewsgirl]

43. I saw this, this morning and thought of you.

[tblue37]

44. LOL. That would help! nt

[dewsgirl]

2. Why did he say it?

[Celerity]

10. some vaccine news was sort of positive

16. Thank you.

[Celerity]

22. yw

[spiderpig]

11. I'm rewinding the DVR

but he said it. Stand by.

[dewsgirl]

15. Thank you.

[USALiberal]

18. Thanks! Nt

3. Chuck Todd is a Trump enabler

He is part of the problem. Awfully late to get upset about what he helped create.

[Wellstone ruled]

20. He was hired as Vice President of Political Affairs

by Comcast Media . And if anyone has taken a few minutes to research Comcast and who their Billionaire majority owners are,you can understand the Toad Puppet character and how he is just chasing a pay check. BTW,not a bad Gig for a Guy who went to College for a couple years on a French Horn Scholarship.

As a old time Radio Guy in the Midwest Radio Market would say at the close of his daily show,"I Got The Money".

[pbmus]

36. My all time favorite DJ...

[Wellstone ruled]

39. WLS would somethime Skip into our area

overnight. Lujack was in his own class. Because US Stations turn their Antennas toward Canada after Sun down,we could pick up their signal living in Northern Wisconsin .

[Talitha]

40. Wow, thanks for posting this!

I grew up in Chicago and remember very well
the 'battle of the airwaves' between WLS and WCFL.

AM radio was the place to be back then.
FM was classical music, IIRC.

[BigDemVoter]

32. Agreed 100%.

He was a big proponent of saying that "Trump has changed his tone!" And that was when? Sometime this month?
He is full of SHIT.

[central scrutinizer]

42. Colbert had a great line

In his segment with Elizabeth Warren (before she withdrew and before all the Covid stuff) he asked her, “On a scale of from Chuck to Todd, who was the worst interviewer you sat with.”

[hlthe2b]

4. If he is actuallly moving from his constant self-serving RW pandering, I'm happy to see it

[gratuitous]

6. Sounds like chucktodd was upset about something

My money would be on having to "both sides" Trump's "sarcastic" questions about injecting disinfectants. There just isn't a Democratic analog to that, which would make chucktodd cranky.

[jcgoldie]

14. He wasn't upset

He used it on purpose for emphasis when he was talking to the reporter reporting on the oxford team's covid vaccine work.

[Under The Radar]

7. When covering Trumpz, proper etiquette is out the window

[spiderpig]

12. Hear, Hear!

[Me.]

9. Why?

[spiderpig]

13. It was in reference to research at Oxford UK where they have had some success with Macac monkeys

He said, "but Goddamit, it was the best news I've read all day" to a British reporter.

[kysrsoze]

17. Chris Hayes said, "MF-er" and "hosed" on the air yesterday :D

I think they're just sick of the B.S. and are all out of f*cks to give.

[Sloumeau]

26. FCC rules don't apply to cable TV...so... :)

[OneGrassRoot]

31. Really?

I like him more now.

[shanti]

34. Rachel is getting perilously close as well

And she is notoriously a non-potty mouth.

[AnnieBW]

46. She Damn Near Lost It On-Air

When the NBC cameraman died. I don't blame her.

[yonder]

21. I'm guessing that isn't in his employer's stylebook.

[Paladin]

23. I'm not even going to try to give a shit what Chuck Todd says at this point. (nt)

[bucolic_frolic]

24. Evidence of a lack of self-awareness

and unsuitability for his position. Nicole Wallace can get to jabbering to.

[flying_wahini]

33. At least Nicole Wallace has a brain. Chuck doesn't.

[Poiuyt]

45. I liked it when Nicole Wallace called the Fox hosts chickenshit.

[Sloumeau]

25. What show was Chuck on and at what time Eastern was he on?

Chuck is usually not on the air until MTP Daily most days.

[tiredtoo]

28. Think Toad was on 1 pm til 2 pm

Guide on my tv said Katy Tur show. but they are moving people all over during this crisis. Brian Williams is on now 3:30 pm with Michelle Wallace. tv guide says Live with Ali Velshi.

[ashredux]

27. LOL....I thought I heard it... bit couldn't believe it

[milestogo]

29. I say "goddamit" whenever I watch Chuck Todd.

[spiderpig]

30. I'm emotionally 9 years old.

I love it when people curse on live TV.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

41. Guilty

I love it when people get salty on teevee..

[KPN]

35. That can only mean something made him happy or

hit him right. Todd is a worthless piece of shit as an actual journalist. He would never use an invective on air — he’s a shrill for his big money bosses. Why do you think he’s there?

[Hortensis]

48. Agree how why he has the job, which was expanded to

have him pitching 6 days a week.

[bluedigger]

47. Was he in the studio or at home?

I can understand people forgetting broadcasting decorum when in their own homes. We adapt our behavior to our environment, and it would be pretty easy to slip up. Of course, he could have just fucked up.
