None of MSNBC 'left' programs discussed Chuck Todd's disastrous performance. [View all]

Were they censored from criticizing their boss? Did they decide on their own to ignore the elephant in the newsroom all day Sunday and yesterday? Still today?

If this is how it is going to be, the TRUTH will get NOTHING while GOP narratives supported by Chuck Todd and his lack of journalistic ethics, will get to go unchallenged, even by the MSNBC shows the left has been depending on for the minimal amount of coverage that does challenge the RW media machine.

Sorry - - count me in with those who think that NBC corporate media only uses the nighttime programming of MSNBC to placate the left while the corporate heads shape the daily news coverage and the debate ON THEIR OWN TERMS.

If I somehow missed the coverage from any of the shows, then, I offer an apology in advance - if I am correct and no one referred to it yesterday, then our left 'stars' aren't really ours, are they?
