NBC News' Chuck Todd Continues to Flounder as His Show Attempts to Book a Member of Congress Who Passed

The decision to send Todd’s program out to pasture is starting to make sense.
It has been a tough go of things for Chuck Todd over the past few weeks. Increasingly, MSNBC programs are seeing plummeting ratings, from the newcomers like Symone Sanders to the more established lineup. Then, the man who often bristles at the idea the press is partisan–while stumping favorably for Joe Biden on the regular–had a bit of reckoning himself with his own show this week.
The host of Meet The Press (which airs on the broadcast network Sundays) also has a weekday entry, entitled MTP Daily (MTPD), and it too has been facing eroding ratings in 2022. Recent numbers show it holds one of the few timeslots on the network that comes in behind CNN. As a result, our Sister Toldjah let us know in May, the decision was made to have Chuck outcast to the streaming platform. MTPD made its debut on the NBC News NOW service this week, and judging by a recent item, it is not getting any better.
Zack Brown, a former communications director for Rep. Don Young of Alaska, let it be known that Todd’s program recently reached out to him with an interview request to schedule. As you see, Brown cordially declined the invite.
