Concern Trolls
The Spice Must Flow
For us foul-mouthed, vituperous bloggers of the Left, Chuck Todd is always a pretty easy target. He’s neither bright nor smooth, and like his predecessor Dancin’ Dave Gregory, he goes into interviews at best armed with inside-the-beltway conventional wisdom, and mostly is looking for affirmation that he is right. It is one of the reasons why he rarely asks follow-up questions, does not fact check, and always seems so ill-prepared when he does get pushback.
Let’s take today, for example
Symone Sanders from handsome Joe’s campaign is having none of Upchuck’s nonsense about Biden being too old and off-script to be prznint:
(Hat tip: Crooks and Liars)
RED ALERT! CUT FOR A COMMERCIAL BREAK!!!
Now it doesn’t take much effort to see that Upchuck was trying to keep alive the Biden gaffe trope and throw in some ageism for kicks:
… you have a long list of when he goes off the cuff he seems to speak with sort of an older generation stereotype at times in some of this stuff.
Pretty hard to miss it, innit?
Chuckles Todd is the king of Both Siderism. He uses that tired old tactic in every commentary, every interview. He’s a wimp of the highest order, too, like his interview with Trump last year. Chuck was so subservient to Trump that he practically flopped over on his back and piddled on himself.
[Ed. Note: I’m going to keep visualizing this for days to come. –TG]
On a few rare occasions he’s actually pushed back, like one of his interviews with John “Corn Pone” Kennedy during the impeachment trials. But it was fleeting and soon forgotten, like sighting a rare butterfly that flutters away, not to be seen again.
Chick sucks, period.

Is it my imagination or is Chuckles being batted around more frequently lately? (heh)

That’s how to deal with someone throwing a straw man at you – toss it aside and then go on with what matters.

Chuckie’s face looks like he’s passing gas as she speaks. Turn off the sound and just watch the bearded clam while making your own sound effects; it makes his program almost watchable.
