| I got a great laugh out of this Chuck Todd near meltdown on Meet the Depressed the other day. His voice quivered in moral outrage over Jack Welch suggesting something was up with the unemployment numbers last Friday. Chuck Todd proclaimed, “What we’re doing, we’re corroding trust in our government in a way, and one time responsible people are doing to control it. And the idea that Donald Trump and Jack Welch, rich people with crazy conspiracy, can get traction on this, is a bad trend.”

And don't forget: Rasmussen polling is "slop". What an idiot. He's not even aware of how ignorant he is.

It's easy to forget the level of media/democrat party incest that exists. It's overwhelming.
Erick, you forgot David Gregory being married to the chief lawyer for Fannie Mae. But I guess he can't list them all, there's not enough bandwidth.

Beyond agenda, how did Chuck Todd ever get to where he is? He has no tools that could be described as good tv. He and Politico's Jonathan Martin look like a couple guys who would never get off second shift at the mill.
But "beyond agenda" doesn't apply.

Excellent article! Thanks for posting, OP. Chuck Toad is one of the more despicable people on messnbc, but not the only one. Seems they are having a contest over there to prove which one of them is more ignorant than the last. Thank Heaven, the American people are waking up to the fact that these anti-American-obama-sycophantic-creeps cannot be trusted, no matter WHAT they are scribbling OR bleating about!

I'll say again, we're supposed to believe Obie's administration wouldn't ever ever try to manipulate a process for his electoral benefit....the same regime trying to manipulate the laws and buy off defense contractors (with our money) commanding them to ignore provisions of the WARN act re; notify workers about impending layoffs which would negatively affect the election coming the week before votes are cast.
If he'd break the law he'd bend UE numbers. Anything for political gain. It's the Chicago way.
They think we're stooopid

This from the same folks who brought you:"It's not about the evidence...it's about the seriousness of the charge."

Chuck Todd is slowly becoming irrelevent. He's the always present informant of msnbc, always front and center @ press briefings,there to bring "bresking news", with his producer-written prose and becoming almost as gag-producing as Chris Matthews.
When David Gregory needs him to "guest" on Sunday Morning, well,seems to me NBC has already begun to cut its budget.

Kudos to Erickson for naming names here.
But he gives us names of only a couple dozen --out of what he estimates is a cadre of about 500-- of so-called journalist who dominate the MSM in the NY-DC corridor.
These so-called journalists are the manufacturers of the daily CW (conventional wisdom). As such they have the power to declare anything Romney says, or does, as a "gaffe."
Every one of these 500 former DNC staffers and other partisans should be required to issue a "full disclosure" statement to every "news" piece they write and broadcast.

#11 - Todd got his TV face job when Russert died. He had been a backstage guy, and it shows.
And maybe Rush uses the term F. Chuck Todd to relegate him to the same status as he holds F. Lee Bailey in - or Flea Bailey, rather.

Yes I think with F Chuck Todd, Rush was riffing off of F Lee Bailey's name with this nicname. I think the intent was to deflate the haughty partisan twit who takes himself so seriously. But every time I see F Chuck on TV, I think of that nicname more as an imperative sentence than a name.

Rush proves this incest every time on his show when he plays various reporters covering a story but all using the same phrase or word. An example of this is when GWB chose Dick Cheney as running mate.....suddenly every news story used the obscure word, "Gravitas." Coincidence? I think not.

I didn't see mention (perhaps I missed it) that Jay Carney, formerly of TIME, is married to Claire Shipman, ABC News.
And Martha Raddatz, who's moderating one of the debates, is married to Julius Genachowski, whom Obama appointed to the FCC. Obama also attended their wedding in 1991, so the friendship goes back a very long time. Why didn't Martha recuse herself?

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

An Indiana couple is accused of bilking hundreds of customers by charging for free trials of cosmetic products. A financial manager in Texas promises 23-percent returns but absconds with $33.5 million of his investors’ money in a classic Ponzi scheme.All three cases have one thing in common: money that ended up in offshore accounts and trusts set up in tax havens around the world.

The website, jointly controlled by News Corp and Walt Disney Co, reached out to potential buyers in March after initially contemplating a deal in which one would buy out the other. It is not clear whether that transaction is still being contemplated.

After lengthy investigations, the Pentagon has determined that three Army generals committed misconduct in separate incidents, adding to an unusually long list of senior military commanders who have been censured over the past year.On Friday, defense officials confirmed that Army Maj. Gen. Ralph O. Baker, the commander of a strategic counterterrorism force on the Horn of Africa, was fired March 28 on charges of sexual misconduct. Two officials familiar with the case said Baker was investigated for allegedly groping a female civilian employee after he had been drinking.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Political scientist Charles Murray has never backed away from controversy, but usually his opponents have been liberals. Friday, however, he managed to upset conservatives at the annual conference known as CPAC, where thousands of bewildered Republicans gathered to figure out the way forward after their party’s 2012 electoral defeat. Murray ditched his prepared remarks on “America Coming Apart” in favor of an impromptu admonition to fellow conservatives to accept the legalization of both gay marriage and abortion.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.

A healthcare provider has sued the Internal Revenue Service and 15 of its agents, charging they wrongfully seized 60 million medical records from 10 million Americans. The name of the provider is not yet known, United Press International said. But Courthouse News Service said the suit claims the agency violated the Fourth Amendment in 2011, when agents executed a search warrant for financial data on one employee – and that led to the seizure of information on 10 million, including state judges. The search warrant did not specify that the IRS could take medical information, UPI said.
