5. I don't put Lester Holt in the same info-pimp category as Chuck Todd

Like everyone else at NBC, Lester Holt has a boss who (sometimes) tells him what he has to do. If he's told he has to interview Bill Barr, well I guess he has to do it. I've been watching Holt pretty regularly in the last several years, and I've never heard him give any type of political opinion either right or left. Chuck Todd is another story because he seeks out the RWNJs with relish, and purposefully books them on his show. Todd is happy to showcase the conservatives and I'm sure he includes himself among their number, when he's not on-camera.
