“On my first day on the job at Meet The Press, I was handed an audience show survey of Sunday show viewers and the Number One reason folks said they tuned in was not who the person was behind the chair or the guest. It was simply to get educated.
“So for nearly a decade, I’ve had the honor of helping to explain Washington to America and America to Washington as Kristen just quoted me about, and it’s that education piece that I’m hanging my hat on for the rest of my professional life.
“One thing we will lament, we all lament lately, is the lack of knowledge and nuance in our politics and citizenship. That’s a vacuum I hope to continue to fill, whether in our continued coverage on NBC, or via other venues like docuseries, docudramas focus on bridging our divides and piercing these political bubbles, and I’ll continue to be a part of NBC’s political coverage.” – Chuck Todd.
