.@Poynter named @chucktodd "Media Personality of the Year" saying, @MeetThePress is the "gold standard" of Sunday shows. "His excellent interview skills and accessible delivery make him THE voice when it comes to news in these politically divided times."

The Twitter responses have all been savage.

1. The gold toilet standard

[Kid Berwyn]

23. ++ good

Condescending, in a seamlessly imbecilic way.

[malaise]

28. Took all 14 flushes before he realize they were shitting on him with lies

[Me.]

2. What Is Poynter When They're At Home?

[ritapria]

3. Who came in 2nd ?

Sean Hannity ?

[TheBlackAdder]

4. Hannity was the next mentioned, as the Most Polarizing. 😂

[Sherman A1]

5. Pardon me for a moment

[Paladin]

6. You have GOT to be shitting me!

Might as well award trump a Most Effective President trophy. Chuckie Todd is a media industry joke. And his non-stop efforts to undermine Democrats are legendary in the worst sort of way.

"Gold Standard" my ass.....

[ChubbyStar]

12. Read the Twitter feed, the comments are brutally intelligent

I laughed my ass off.

[TheBlackAdder]

13. They're savage. I didn't see anyone coming to his defense.

[kacekwl]

7. What did he pay for

it. Seriously.

[FakeNoose]

8. Why wasn't it Rachel? This is sickening!

Rachel Maddow is so much more professional, better prepared, quicker on the draw, and more interesting than Chuck Todd.

[EarlG]

9. Mediocre personality of the year maybe.

[handmade34]

10. ...

[Poiuyt]

11. Interviewing style aside, I find him difficult to understand

He mumbles too much. Now, I'm an old man with bad hearing, but I can understand everyone else. Chuck Todd often trails off into a mumble at the end of a question or statement.

[a kennedy]

14. You have got to be kidding me......I NEVER WATCH HIM....

[smirkymonkey]

15. What?!

And I suppose they will next announce that he is the world's most attractive man with the best haircut and greatest beard on television.

[whistler162]

16. Who knew

named Mediocre Man of the Year, a award for being mediocre!

[Greybnk48]

17. This is crazy! n/t

[dalton99a]

18. "He gets rewarded for carrying the GOP's water. That's what they want."

"Oh look another mediocre white guy getting an award he doesn't deserve. And frankly, "mediocre" is a generous critique of Chuck Todd."

"His truly has been a career unmarred by competence."

"@chucktodd is the worst, most cowardly man on MSNBC. He allows republicans to lie and spread disinformation without challenging them. He should be fired, not receiving an award #FireChuckTodd"

"Is Poynter School of Journalism part of trump university??"

...

...

[StarfishSaver]

19. "Personality" - not "Journalist"

[PatSeg]

20. What the hell?!?!

Is there another Chuck Todd?

[Joe941]

21. Well it goes to show they know nothing.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

22. .

They said..... they said "gold standard" BWWAAAAHAHAHAAA!!!

[mfcorey1]

24. We better screen shot this before NBC deletes it. There is nothing positive about

Duckie Chuckie. Ever since he double crossed David Gregory for the position, he has had the big head.

[TheBlackAdder]

25. Boosting this OP, since it looks like MTP is headed for the block.

[hibbing]

26. After doing both sidism "I'll guess we'll leave it at that" n/t

[MontanaMama]

27. Very strange...

Chuck Todd is the very reason I can't/don't watch MTP or MTP Daily. Go figure.

[Mike Nelson]

29. How weird...

... the award is not well-known. I would prefer to see Lawrence O'Donnell or Joy Reid in his position. I envision Mr. Todd with a weekend show, but later in the afternoon. His regular guests need to be changed, also. Maybe he could host a discussion group with Hugh R Hewitt, Michael Moore, Mary Matlin, and James Carville?

[JDC]

30. This should be more in line with The Razzie award

He is literally the worst on Sunday, and has horrible interview skills, with a completely irrelevant voice in today's politically divided climate.

Identifying that today's climate is politically divided is the only thing they got right, and that is an understated layup.
