From 2014 to 2023, Todd hosted <em>Meet the Press<\/em> and then worked under the title of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/opinion-the-american-media-has-spread-russian-propaganda-more-effectively-than-russia-itself\/\" title=\"OPINION: The American Media Has Spread Russian Propaganda More Effectively Than Russia Itself\">chief political analyst<\/a>. On his podcast Saturday, Todd noted he would be moving to work in <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">local news<\/a>, which comes as little surprise to his listeners as he spent many episodes last year criticizing legacy media. <\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/finance-and-economy\/3242203\/what-items-affected-trump-tariffs-canada-mexico\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PRICES ON THESE ITEMS COULD BE AFFECTED BY TRUMP TARIFFS ON MEXICO, CANADA<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;When it comes to local media, it&rsquo;s always been the case; people trust local media more than they trust national media,&rdquo; Todd explained on his podcast, <em>Chuck Toddcast<\/em>. &ldquo;I think the gutting of local media has gotten rid of what I believe are the folks, you know, they gave national media our credibility. National media is not going to fix its credibility on its own.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>He added, &ldquo;People are craving community.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>The podcast is going with Todd, but he has yet to reveal its new home. During Saturday&rsquo;s episode, it wasn&rsquo;t yet clear that Todd had made a decision of where to distribute his show.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;At my core, I&rsquo;m an entrepreneur &mdash; I spent my first 15 years professionally working for the company that started the political newsletter craze that dominates today. And this is a ripe moment,&rdquo; Todd wrote in his email announcing his departure to NBC staff. &ldquo;The only way to fix this information eco system is to stop whining about the various ways the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ga-poll-watcher-it-expert-non-trump-supporter-affidavit-sudden-surge-of-20000-mail-in-votes-for-biden-in-early-hours-on-nov\/\" title=\"GA Poll Watcher, IT Expert, Non-Trump Supporter Affidavit: Sudden Surge of 20,000 Mail-In-Votes For Biden In Early Hours On Nov\">social media companies<\/a> are manipulating things and instead roll up our collective sleeves and start with local.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Todd and his family have long lived in the Washington, D.C. area, where the <em>Meet the Press<\/em> set resides.
