Only a sorry excuse for a journalist like Chuck Todd could

come to the conclusion that President Obama's latest press conference was about him saying to Democrats he will no longer appease them. WTH!? Is Chuck Todd thinking, this guy is beyond clueless, and what about him stating the President now has new swagger? Todd is a disgrace to journalism.

Chuck Todd, as sickening and feckless as he is, is actually more typical of today's journalism than not.

My dad was a journalist in Washington for 50 years, and in upstate New York before that. He was president of the Gridiron Club, a recipient of the Thomas L. Stokes award, honored by members of both parties in the Congressional Record for his fairness. I fucking KNOW what a journalist is. Chuck Todd isn't it. He is a propagandist. Period.

A propagandist is NOT a journalist. If Todd or NBC thinks no one can tell the difference, they are badly mistaken.

It was the (first-and-) final show where any one held out any hope of him morhping from a partisan hack into a journalist. No such hope lingers.

A chance to morph into real 'journalists' instead of another of the thousands and thousands of 'anti-everything Obama' tabloid spammers.

But it was a bit surprising how lousy Chuck Todd was when he tried to play 'real journalist'.

who got him that TV gig anyway? he should have been given a Republican Breibart-Empire chair or a place in fox.
