MODERATORS
I never understood Todd's continued moderation of Meet the Press.
Watching him nod and smile when someone sat across from him who was spouting blatant lies and objectively false talking points was infuriating. Todd's insistence that there were two sides to any argument even when faced with people like Kelly Anne Conway and her self-confessed "alternative facts" arguably dragged down media standards not only at NBC, but across the board. He should have been thrown out on his ear a decade ago.
Good riddance.
He shouted at progressives who were actually speaking factually as well. And he loved coming up with contrived hypocrisies when he couldn’t shut down facts. Seriously fuck that guy. I don’t know why people hold him up as a good interviewer.
Remember this?
Far as I'm concerned, that's the defining moment for the entire network.
Compare this old episode of Crossfire starring Frank Zappa to any political talk show today and you'll get an idea of how far TV journalism has fallen.
The mainstream media being complicit in peddling outrageous and dangerous lies made me never want to watch cable news again, ever. Most people that are millennial or younger I know do not watch the news. It's not informative, it's just outrage.
