Questions to Chuck Todd on Reddit "Ask Me Anything"

I (Chuck Todd) will be multi-tasking during the President’s press conference and answering questions between Noon and 12:30pm ET, so ask me anything!
HI chuck,
As a lifelong conservative, i half to admit i enjoy your political reports.
My Question is: In my opinion NBC/MSNBC has shown a lot of left wing bias towards the Obama administration, has there ever been a moment when you watched a story and just cringe, like the night chris matthews' had the infamous "thrill up my leg" incident?
Chuck, your NBC colleague Ronan Farrow received a Cronkite award after only 3 days on the job. How many Cronkite awards have you received?
Chuck, gun to you head......who wins POTUS in 2016? Dem or Rep?

Who would be on your dream team political panel discussion? and What would be the topic?

The economy stinks, Iraq is burning, Putin's on the march. Do you ask Obama about Beyonce, sports, or House of Cards?
Hello, Mr. Todd -
I personally do not believe that it is possible for humans to be unbiased about contentious issues, and I also feel that those biases can't be kept out of their actions. In the US, many reporters claim they are being objective, from Fox to MSNBC, but I have my doubts about both...
In the interests of full disclosure, what are your personal political beliefs?
Will you be asking tough questions of the President and not softballs?
Do you honestly feel, generally speaking, it is not a reporters/hosts job to correct partisan talking point falsehoods, and will you be dancing onstage with any notorious party strategists anytime soon?
Will we see an openly gay presidential nominee in the next 30 years? Has the country come far enough that they would be willing to vote for a gay president?
How much of interviewing today is total bullshit with prearranged questions, topics to avoid, vs honest no-holds barred unedited Q&A? How many hoops does one have to jump through to interview a President? If there are none, then what might explain the lack of direct questions & holding interviewees to answers? Is this a game of political correctness not to piss people off instead of challenging weak arguments or policies?...
Any of the question tickle your funny bones?... and what question would you have asked?

CT: "So, Mr. President, when did you realize that you were awesome?"

BO: "I've always known that I was awesome. I'm also clean and articulate."

CT: "Well then, this is going to be a fun interview."

NASA says an asteroid will pass 'very close' to earth Sunday... will you ask Holder to launch a probe to look into the asteroids traveled past?

Chuck, do you spit or swallow?

Any golf questions for King Putt?

Why is it Ok for ONE political party to pass unpopular legislation on party line vote, in the dead of night, using shifty political maneuvers?
If the other party did such a thing, the media and the democrat party wouldn't ever shut up. do you understand this?

What's up with all the crony capitalism? The left are major anti-capitalists. Doesn't all this crony capitalism bother you as a journalist?

Are you gearing up for some major Hillary pimping, or what?

Why did the Obama administration take out Kaddafi? I mean yeah - he was a terrible dude and he did terrible deeds, but the political fall out in Libya has been a horrific nightmare. The power vacuum created is far worse than Kaddafi and his past sins. The US, under Hillary and Obama, ushered in a radical Islamist take-over. Are you going to ask Obama about all those missing jet liners? (I doubt it)

hehe. Knee pads or no knee pads?

Feel free to post my questions. I have no idea how to use all that technology.

Hey Chuck, remember that SNL funny Obama pillow skit, way back when Hillary was running against Obama?

It disappeared from the internet, any chance you will duplicate it with the real Obama?... for your viewers.

Why bother with asking questions of anyone at NBC, or of Obama and his administration, for that matter?

Only answer you will get will be a lie or a hedge.

Hi Chuck,

Could you list any successful accomplishments other than making money or getting elected for any of the following:

Barack Obama
Hillary Clinton
Al Gore
John Kerry
Nancy Pelosi
Harry Reid

Can you list any failures. PLease use the back of your paper if you need more space.

Aridog said...

I'd really like to see the answers to Bagoh20's questions. I will not, however, hold my breath. Blue lips make me look funny...or make me wander off to other blogs. :-))

I had one my best friends ever anywhere tell me that John Kerry was right with his Winter Soldier Investigation. I drop out of this discussion now and forever.

Chuck, have you ever in your adult life voted for the Republican candidate for any national, state, or local contest?

Che was really cool, right? Still have the tee shirt?

Name three of Ronald Reagan's policies that you agree with.

What is the name of the person in the WH who suggested the questions and topics for the interview?

You are going to ask Obama any of these questions, are you? Because that might be embarrassing enough to move you off of the invite list for WH parties and the nerd prom.
