Today in Chuck Todd News: In the End, Darth Credulous Proved to Be...

...the most destructive Sith lord of all.

And however cartoonishly awful he proved to be every single day, his loyal (and anonymous) followers still loved him and fought for him.  From Page Six:

Chuck Todd’s ‘Meet the Press Daily’ may be sidelined to make room for Nicolle Wallace

...
TV insiders say NBC News boss Andy Lack and MSNBC’s Phil Griffin had tried to persuade Todd to move “Daily” to 9 a.m., directly after the network’s politically influential “Morning Joe.” The plan would allow Wallace — a breakout cable star — to broadcast for two hours on weekdays, 4 to 6 p.m. 

...
But a TV insider said, “Chuck doesn’t want to move to 9 a.m. He’d rather leave MSNBC completely and focus on ‘Meet the Press’ on Sunday, and continue to provide news and political analysis across all NBC News platforms including digital. He sees his show as news, not opinion.” Another insider mused it was “madness for NBC to upset the face of its political coverage ahead of 2020. They need Chuck on air every day.”

A third MSNBC source conceded that news chiefs had asked Todd to move “Daily” because “the show doesn’t fit in the 5 p.m. slot.” But the insider insisted, “There’s no way MSNBC wants to lose ‘MTP Daily’ and Chuck. He’s NBC’s biggest political star.”...

But here is the fun bit.  The sentence that we in the writing biz call the "telling detail":

The move comes as Todd faces backlash for highlighting a letter to the editor of a small newspaper that stated voters who believe in “fairy tales” and Noah’s Ark were more likely to vote for Donald Trump.

Andy Lack and Phil Griffin were not moved to float the idea of downgrading Chuck Todd's NBC cafeteria pass from "Martin Sheen" to "Charlie Sheen" because of the pixel-tons of righteous heat they took from the Left for Todd's execrable record of pathological Both Siderism and stooging for the most notorious liars in the GOP.  No, they did it because of the heat they took from a handful of lobotomized Conservative meatbags because Chuck Todd very lightly suggested that, just maybe, some Conservatives are kinda gullible.

Which is why some wags have taken to referring to NBC/MSNBC management as the Comcastrati.
