"Chuck Todd served as an example of how not to ask presidential candidates about their gun safety platforms during the first Democratic primary debate with sensationalized questions that raised the prospect of gun confiscation." (via @CydEHargis) mediamatters.org/blog/2019/06/2…
@CydEHargis "Todd managed to get more words in than all but the three top candidates, filling the air with an enormous amount of drivel despite the fact that he was only there for half the debate." splinternews.com/chuck-sucked-1…

@CydEHargis (The study referenced, via @LisPower1 and @__gabbymiller: mediamatters.org/blog/2018/11/0…)
@CydEHargis @LisPower1 @__gabbymiller "Chuck Todd Emerges As The Democratic Debate’s Biggest Loser." huffpost.com/entry/chuck-to…
