Why exactly is chuck todd coordinating stories with the DNC and how does he keep his job if this is true?

He's rubbed me the wrong way ever since he got all uppity over Colbert announcing he was running for president in 2008.  You have to wonder if Luke Russert leaving had anything to do what nbc news has become.  How could he stay and at the same time be true to his father's legacy? Really troubling.

He's the best they have, his shows get good ratings, and people like Hannitty are exactly the same on the other side? I mean is there one regular viewer of Todd who isn't aware he's a staunch liberal? He doesn't try to hide it at all.

Hannity hosts an opinion show and Todd is the news director of NBC News.  There is a major difference and it would violate many journalistic tenets to be coordinating in this manner

:confused:

Yeah, you have to wonder since Luke Russert is still with NBC News:

"Luke Russert is an American correspondent for NBC News. His reporting can be seen on NBC Nightly News, TODAY, NBCNews.com, and MSNBC. He is also a guest anchor on various MSNBC programs, including Andrea Mitchell Reports and Way Too Early." Wikipedia

And you wonder why nobody believes a thing you post....

http://money.cnn.com/2016/07/13/media/luke-russert-nbc-news/

And even more surprising you missed this:

"Meet the Press" moderator Chuck Todd tweeted on Wednesday that Russert's exit is a "big loss for us," adding, "I'd like to think he'll be back!"

My bad. :bag:

Did a quick google search before I posted, but overlooked that (too quick obviously) Wiki had not been updated.

Had missed the news about Russert among the RNC Convention coverage (sorry Willie).

C'est la vie :shrug:

When Trump announced Pence as his VP it made her look a little better to me, but Trump would have to have a series of horrible decisions like this to get me to vote for her. I don't think it is likely to happen. Plus her VP pick made her look a little worse for me. So basically whatever points she gained from Trump nominating Pence she lost most of them with her pick of Kaine.

I'm wondering what is a "horrible decision" for you, and how it's possible that Trump hasn't made it yet. 

 
I do not love Hillary, and I may abstain from voting this year. But maybe she selected Kaine because she thought he would be the best person for the job and didn't select someone based on what votes they could secure? :shrug:

He did come out in favor of TPP just hours before the announcement, so its likely that he lines up with her views.

 
I don't see Kaine bringing in any independents, but could see him pushing away progressives.

Kaine, by contrast, is setting himself up as a figure willing to do battle with the progressive wing of the party. He has championed the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal that both Sanders and Warren oppose, and he is now publicly siding with bank deregulation advocates at the height of Clinton’s veepstakes.

Have you actually read the exchange with Chuck Todd or are you going by what someone else told you it said?

I'm having a hard time find wrongdoing by Todd there

I interpret this as taking a role in coordinating messaging. 

If Rachel Maddow, Lawrence odonnell, oreilly or hannity this did, it's one thing.  

I can't fathom a journalistic standard where this is above board

Who would you have liked her to choose?

As far as the commonly reported final 3 contenders, I was most favorable to Perez personally. Yes I understand "officially" he is pro tpp, but he's been wishy washy on the topic. For full disclosure, I was a Bernie guy before my current deliberations voting Johnson or an F the system Trump vote.

I was really hoping Hill would try to appeal to the Bernie audience, and she would have at least made me think with another candidate. I don't see that with this selection. I know their ideas were a bit contrasting in areas (H and Bern), but I think there's a lot of votes to the far left that she just left on the table, or in some individual cases, risks alienating altogether.

Yep.  I was just pondering this political calculation.  I'm sure she doesn't care how many progressive votes she loses in deep red states, and she's probably assuming enough of them will fall in line in strong blue states.  But the battle ground states?  I am guessing she thinks, with this move, the number of progressives she loses is less than the number of anti-Trump Republicans she can pick up.  If so, I think she's under-estimating how bad GOPers really hate her.  They'll go for Johnson before they give her their vote, imo.
