As MSNBC prepares to debut new programming by former Biden administration officials, Chuck Todd is being farmed out to NBC’s streaming service.
Todd’s “Meet The Press Daily,” which two years ago was bounced from a 5 p.m. time slot to 1 p.m., will go to 4 p.m. on NBC News NOW and be called “Meet the Press NOW,” according to Deadline.
The Daily Beast characterized the shift as Todd being “shuffled down the line at MSNBC.”
Todd’s new show will begin June 6.
As noted by Variety. Todd’s exit comes as the network adds new talent that leaped from the Biden White House.
On Saturday, Symone Sanders will debut her new program. Sanders was the spokeswoman for Vice President Kamala Harris before fleeing Harris’s office.
MSNBC also will be making room for White House press secretary Jen Psaki, Variety wrote, who is expected to join the network for a new show after taking a few months off.
NBC demotes Chuck Todd, again.
Todd has become a misfit.https://t.co/aeZhFsNAvP

Writing about the change for Outkick, Bobby Burack said too many probing questions to the wrong people greased the skids for Todd to be moved.
“Todd is hardly conservative, but he does ask tough questions while interviewing Democratic politicians. Todd didn’t get the memo that doing so is no longer allowed. His Sunday morning counterpart George Stephanopoulos is following this rule dutifully on ABC,” he wrote.
“The tale of Todd should clear up why hosts at corporate media outlets have pivoted away from the center: the job security and recognition come only to those who take a long stroll to the left. Todd forgot to make that move,” he wrote.
“Chuck Todd isn’t left-wing enough for NBC News anymore, and he’s certainly not kooky enough for a daily program on MSNBC. MSNBC and its parent company NBC have sent a message that it’s the network of Joy Reid, Savannah Guthrie and Jen Psaki. Todd no longer fits,” he wrote.
Although many commentators saw the change as a demotion for Todd, NBC tried to put a happy spin on the change.
It doesn’t matter to me why @chucktodd is moving to streaming during the week. It’s a demotion. I’m very happy @NBCNews is doing this. I will be happier when Sundays are taken from him

“NBC News is the leader in streaming news. Since our launch, we’ve been committed to delivering the best of NBC News’ journalism, free, to streaming audiences everywhere,” NBC News President Noah Oppenheim said in a statement.
“Chuck was one of the first broadcast anchors to see the massive potential of streaming and bringing Meet the Press’s daily franchise to NBC News NOW reinforces the platform’s status as the destination for news on streaming,” he said.
NBC News anchor Chris Jansing will claim Todd’s MSNBC time slot.

They sent him out to the cornfield, LOL.
“Stabbed in the back by your fellow communists!”
Just wishing Rush were here to see this and comment on it since he’s the one who gave Todd his “F. Chuck” moniker.
It’s kind of like Stalin getting rid of Yezov. First his pictures disappear and then he hangs himself in his cell with his underwear as a noose
Moderates? There are no moderates watching MSNBC. At least no moderate who doesn’t want to scratch is own eyeballs out.
Chuck Todd is white (strike one), male (strike two), and heterosexual (strike three).
Todd getting chucked again?
Yep, I suspect that Toni Dikoupil over at CBS Mornings isn't long for that show as the token White male.
These people, all of them, must have miserable private lives.....
The Fox crowd are at least laughing and having a good time, even though you had a few losers in there like Megyn Kelly and that half wit who was on in the afternoons, and pajama boy Chris Wallace...
I tune in to MSNBC occasionally because it’s so funny!
Todd was at least capable of appearing curious. Psaki is a tape recording with the personality of a squatty potty.
There should be a standing rule that the words "Jenn Pasaki" and "not that bright" can never be used on the same post.
Or even the same internet.
Peppermint Cow Patty
Finally!
When your stench increases you get shuffled down the line.
“…new talent…”
No bias there…🙄
“Todd’s new show will begin June 6.”
And will end 2 weeks later.

“Need to bring in people who are further Left than Chucko.”
Obviously. I’ve met NBC execs. A bunch of self masturbating, arrogant lefty fags, and KNOW they need to go further left.
Funny how I didn’t hear the outcry when Microsoft teamed up with NBC to create a one sided communist spewing partnership.Or when Bezos bout the Washington Post or when Carlos Slim bout that crap NYT.
Funny how spell check suggests Bozos for Bezos and NUT for NYT.
ROFL!
He can now join his buddy Chris Wallace.
I didn’t know he was conservative!!!!
