Former MSNBC host and iHeartMedia podcaster Keith Olbermann is a loud voice when it comes to criticizing news channels, and he’s set his sights on “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd.
There’s been plenty of speculation over the future of Todd as the host of the Sunday program, and Olbermann stated that people who want to see a new person are wasting their time asking MSNBC to move on from Todd.
“I see a lot of tweets asking when @msnbc will fire Chuck Todd,” Olbermann tweeted on Monday. “It’s not their call. The man in charge is @nbcnews president @cesarconde_.”
Additionally, Olbermann took a shot at the NBC News president for not moving on from Todd, noting that Conde has other priorities, such as looking for his next executive position.
“[Conde would] make the change – IF somebody can get his attention,” Olbermann added. “He spends most of his time trying to get a corporate executive position somewhere.”
In late August, The Daily Beast reported that with the show struggling in the ratings department, the network could be ready to replace Todd with NBC White House correspondent Kristen Welker.
Furthermore, Welker is expected to take on more hosting duties as the midterm elections are nearing.
