NARRATOR: HE WILL NOT SIT DOWN.

I’m not sure which is worse — whether Todd knows he’s lying or if he actually believes he’s part of some democracy-saving band of “honest journalists.”

NBC’s ratings and the general state of the mainstream media indicate that more and more people believe that Todd is lying.

UPDATE (From Ed): “Chuck Todd is the personification of everything wrong with NBC News, but he can’t be confronted as such by his bosses because they made him, they made all of them. You can’t lecture your kid against smoking with a Marlboro hanging out of your mouth, and can’t scold anyone for lying when you employ, well, literally everyone at NBC News. Not in any credible way, at least. Lucky for NBC News, credibility hasn’t been an issue or a goal for at least 10 years.”
