NBC, Chuck Todd Hide Wife's Kaine Donation, and Her Firm Getting Millions from Bernie Campaign
NewsBusters ^ | October 26, 2016 | Tim Graham

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.

...

NBC News bosses should have made Todd disclose this business relationship and let someone else do Sanders interviews. They knew it would look bad if their newly minted Meet the Press moderator -- covering his first presidential campaign in that powerful chair -- had to step back from interviewing Sanders or Kaine.

Instead, NBC looks like they'd rather just hide these lucrative family ties to Democratic campaigns. They obviously hoped no one would dig this up. But we did.

Chuck U. Todd is just another media criminal on the take from the RATS.

Forget about MSM, corrupt media, biased media, or Lame-Stream Media. Here is a new term:

The DMA: Democrat Media Axis

We need to find a way to at minimum shame these corrupt beltway cretins. Something that is retributive in nature. Ideas?

Tell us again, Hugh Hewitt, what a reliably neutral voice he is.

March them all naked, covered in excrement from the Washington Monument to the White House while calling out shame?

All it would take is one republican, with a little nerve, to ask Todd about this when they’re on the same show.

Wow!
Poor Chuck!
This news might make people think he is fair and unbiased in his reporting.

I’ve always thought Todd was a liberal hiding in plain sight. He seems delighted at any bad news for Republicans.

Hugh is SOOOOOO screwed on Monday morning. Mr. Negative Nelly is going to have to admit that momentum was with Trump even before Comey’s letter to Congress on Monday. Mr. Trump was right again. Hugh is so third rate.

...plus he will have been wrong on every election cycle since the dawning of man. ;o)
