(4,276 posts)"Chuck Todd is an embarrassment to the American viewing public in general and to NBC in particular.
His amateurish behavior on Sunday, Sept. 7, 2014, served no purpose other than to display itself as an example of how NOT to conduct an interview.
He not only showed blatant disrespect for the office of the President of the United States, but he also demonstrated an enormous lack of journalistic skill. By not even listening to President Obama as he addressed the issues raised by Mr. Todd, this interviewer proved the often disputed but obviously true point that NBC news and their related shows are nothing more than Fox News wannabes.
Make no mistake, the original tape will be viewed and dissected by anyone who seeks to hold the television networks accountable despite your deceitful attempt to launder the transcript. Your editing only shows how low the networks have sunk in their attempts to make this President appear to be less than what he is...which is an intelligent, well-educated, and insightful leader.
Shame on you Chuck Todd and shame on NBC. The American people deserve better and President Obama deserves an apology."
