Time to Boycott Chuck Todd and MTP! Why?.. 'Cause Chucky's emblemic of the [View all]

Freaking Twilight Zone.. I substituted psychopath with sociopath in Rod's famous quote.. that's a better fit, imv.. They feel no shame.

***Or just write them a letter if you're so inclined-Contact at bottom of OP***

"Imagine if you will, a world run by sociopaths".. It's now 2014, Rod Serling, and we're way past having to "imagine"..

Don't ya just want to wipe that smirk off his face with low ratings at mtp?

"LAZY"? I dunno.. Chucky seems awfully busy carrying RW talking points all over the tv.. like he has all the energy in the world. Just when it comes to the facts he falls down on his job.

This is my letter to nbc from last week and so far.. CRICKETS..

******contact.nbcnews@nbcuni.com******

Dear Deborah Turness,

Chuck Todd was horrible on his debut MTP show and not very bright. And, so full of himself.. telling the President how to speak.. like he knows anything.

The President mentioned Syria 4 times and the Todd came up with the following..

"You’ve not said the word, “Syria,” so far in our conversation. Obviously, if you’re going to defeat ISIS, you have used very much stronger language. It’s gone through the week during your trip to Wales. You got to go to Syria in some form or another."

Notice that President Obama's last mention of Syria came two sentences before Todd made his fatuous statement.

If one of the traits of a good interviewer is listening to the answers given by the subject, Chuck Todd fails miserably.
