Chuck Todd Says Staten Island Race 'Fight Between Mob Families'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Did Chuck Todd just do it again? His comment a couple of weeks ago that Dem Alison Lundergan Grimes "disqualified herself" for refusing to say whether she voted for Barack Obama was quickly made into an ad by the McConnell campaign. On today's Morning Joe, Todd made a highly quotable claim about another race.

Todd described the campaign for a congressional seat in a district located in Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn as "a fight between mob families." That sent Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough scrambling to disassociate themselves from the Meet the Press moderator. And at the end of the segment, Mika told Todd: "I think you might have made another ad!" Retorted Todd: "I'll never come on the show again."

I’m starting to wonder if Chuck Todd intends to buck the machine and actually report the occasional bit of news.

Is there an Italian mob anymore? I haven’t heard from them in years.

Well, I live about 20 minutes from SI and there’s rarely a peep - must less a bloodletting happening. I just asked my mob-happy husband and he shrugged and said: “I guess so. But haven’t heard much from them lately.”

Nah. nobody reports news anymore. News is a recitation of fact without inserting opinion. While it is kinda fun that he seems to p*** off the Libtards, he’s just another pundit hack.

Fine, I’ll take someone who slants to our side (very occasionally), then. Settle for what we can.

Any refutation, or just argument ad hominem?

Because Staten Island? Because Italian?

NBC is going to regret having let snoozemaster David Gregory go.
