NBC Meet the Press host Chuck Todd has a wife who’s active in Democratic Party strategic communications, and sometimes donates to Democrats. In 2012, Kristian Denny Todd contributed $2,500 to Sen. Tim Kaine. Todd never felt any need to disclose this during his three recent Kaine interviews on NBC (August 7, September 18, and October 23).
But Maverick Mail & Strategies, the firm Mrs. Todd founded in 2007 with fellow James Webb aides Steve Jarding and Jessica Vanden Berg, did heavy lifting for openly socialist Bernie Sanders for President this year. Open Secrets shows a bill for $1.992 million made in ten payments to Maverick from January to April. Todd has never disclosed this business relationship in 11 Sanders interviews this year. (If the work began in 2015 before the payments, Todd failed to disclose any tie in six Sanders interviews in the second half of 2015). We didn't even count any Todd interviews with Sanders on MSNBC.
This isn’t meant to suggest Todd's interviews have gone soft on Sanders, or at least softer than he was with Hillary Clinton. (Although there was this May 29 Meet the Press introduction: “This morning, my interview with the only candidate still viewed favorably by the voters, Bernie Sanders.”) It simply means there’s a significant conflict of interest that Todd and NBC News have never found necessary to mention. Transparency isn't really in their interests here.
Rush Limbaugh is talking about this now.
F Chuck Todd talks every week to the RINO talk show host at WIOD-AM.
Let’s see if they ever talk about that fact. Now this story is from October 2016, but you can darn well bet this has been hushed up by the media.

MSM reporter in bed with the ‘Rats? C’mon....
Is there anyone connected to Democratic politicians who is NOT a criminal?
