An announcement from the Poynter Institute naming NBC’s Chuck Todd the “media personality of the year” while calling his Meet the Press the “gold standard” was met with derision and laughter on the internet which has long hammered the NBC host for his failures as well as his habit of not asking follow-up questions.
According to Poynter — which describes its mission as helping “journalists sharpen skills and elevate storytelling throughout their careers” — Todd’s “excellent interview skills and accessible delivery make him THE voice when it comes to news in these politically divided times.”
Not everyone agreed with that assessment by Poynter’s Tom Jones.
Or as one commenter on Twitter succinctly put it: “Christ. Chuck Todd is horrible.”

Art Martin @gartmartin9 Replying to @NBCNewsPR and 3 others And with that announcement, Poynter has just destroyed its credibility completely. Congrats!
AndyMatter @AndyMatter Replying to @NBCNewsPR and 3 others His truly has been a career unmarred by competence.
BgMac @bgmacneill Replying to @NBCNewsPR and 3 others @chucktodd cant interview his way out of a wet paper bag folks - he has zero critical thinking skills EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
Foglandia @BabiesFree Replying to @NBCNewsPR and 4 others You cannot be serious. He's a shill. His interview skills are those of a flea and he's destroying our democracy. I will never watch any show he is on. He's dangerous and you are as well for enabling this monster.

Denise Haynes @nee_haynes · Dec 20, 2019 Replying to @NBCNewsPR and 3 others That’s strange. @chucktodd is the exact reason I don’t watch @MeetThePress.

Monty Boa @MontyBoa99 Replying to @NBCNewsPR and 3 others Oh, please. Chuck Todd can't even start and finish a question in a single, complete, coherent sentence. Some of his questions are just so much gibberish that he has to rephrase them 2 or 3 times.
Put a bag on his head and just listen. As an interviewer, he's appalling.

Fake media lending out credibility to one of their own. Gee, who would have thunk it.
i guess the msm has run out of nominees!
Because Alisyn Camerota was busy that day?
Best Swamp creature. I’m not so sure that’s a claim I would seek.
Hey poppy harlot and bangin’ brooke baldwin neeeeed awards too!
Chuck Todd. (Using “Chuck” as a verb).
He also narrowly beat Bonnie DeNiro for Little Person of the Year.
Mark Dice calls him Cuck Todd.
An apt moniker.
“”””””””Hey poppy harlot and bangin’ brooke baldwin neeeeed awards too!”””””””
My son went to high school with Poppy. I met her a few times. Very polite, nice girl back then. She certainly has changed and not for the better.
Brooke Baldwin has a face that looks like it is made from plaster of paris.
What personality?
Chuck Todd doesn’t HAVE a personality.
If not What’s His Name, Who?
I don’t watch any of them, but apparently there is controversy!
Just fake media handing out fake awards >yawn< who cares?
Even Mark Levin calls him
CUCK TODD.
He is the best guy who would come to the award ceremony. Thats all that matters to them. They need someone to go to their event so they can sell seats. Fox people would not sell any seats. At least they would not sell seats to their kind of people.
A newborn baby has a better grasp of reality than Chuck Todd...
