Daughter studying meteorology

Several times, Chuck Todd has said that his daughter "is studying meteorology" (most recently on 14 January 2004 on Meet the Press in an interview with Kristen Welker. This recent disclosure concerned the weather in Iowa, where his daughter;s interest would align with but not coincide with his. MaynardClark (talk) 16:37, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-== Height ==
-This page currently lists his height as 5' 2".  He's as tall as or taller than Rachel Maddow and her page lists her at 5' 11", which is credible.[[User:Ealtram|Ealtram]] ([[User talk:Ealtram|talk]]) 22:05, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
-:Apparently this is a longstanding joke? I saw this list him as 5'10", but I'm not sure what the credibility is https://caknowledge.com/chuck-todd-net-worth-salary/ [[Special:Contributions/75.50.53.181|75.50.53.181]] ([[User talk:75.50.53.181|talk]]) 14:16, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
-== Edit Request ==
-{{edit COI|A}}
-While an experienced editor, I have a [[WP:COI]] as a paid consultant to NBC News. I therefore seek independent review of the following request:
-'''Delete''' from section Career / NBC News:
-"On October 17, 2016, the [[Daily Caller]] wrote a story, based on [[John Podesta]]'s leaked emails, that Todd and his wife hosted a dinner party in 2015 for Jennifer Palmieri, Hillary Clinton’s communications director. The Caller said that Todd's wife was working for one of Clinton's challengers. "The invite is just the latest glaring example of the cozy relationship between mainstream journalists and the Clinton campaign found in the Podesta emails," the Caller wrote.<ref>[http://dailycaller.com/2016/10/17/chuck-todd-hosted-swanky-dinner-party-at-his-home-for-top-clinton-campaign-official/ Chuck Todd Hosted Swanky Dinner Party At His Home For Top Clinton Campaign Official], Chuck Ross, Daily Caller, Oct. 17,2016</ref>"
-'''Why?''' There is only one source for this passage, the [[Daily Caller]], and it is not sourced elsewhere. As of February 13, 2019, Daily Caller has been [[WP: Deprecated]] as a source. [[Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#RfC:_The_Daily_Caller]]  Specifically, the finding was that the Daily Caller "[p]ublishes false or fabricated information, and should be deprecated as in the 2017 RfC of the Daily Mail." In general a deprecated source should not be used on Wikipedia, and in the more serious case on the Daily Mail (with now, with the same standard explicitly held shall be applied to the Daily Caller), the source "is generally unreliable, and its use as a reference is generally prohibited, especially when other more reliable sources exist. As a result, the Daily Mail should not be used for determining notability, nor should it be used as a source in articles."

-* Per: [[Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#RfC:_The_Daily_Caller|RfC-''The Daily Caller'']] the claim, which had no second reference beyond TDC to verify, has been omitted from the article.{{efn|The sentence following the claim in question, which states {{tq|"On January 22, 2017, Todd said, “Alternative facts are not facts, they’re falsehoods"}} may have been placed in response to the now omitted ''Daily Caller'' claim (as it immediately followed it in the prose). If that were the case, then this portion of text may not be desirable to remain in the article without the preceding claim to act as context. (It certainly reads as an odd statement on its own.)  Please advise if it may be removed as well.}}

-[[User: Spintendo]], I agree that the immediately following sentence makes little sense without context and it would be a good idea to remove it.[[User:BC1278|BC1278]] ([[User talk:BC1278|talk]]) 20:33, 20 February 2019 (UTC)BC1278
-==Dinner party bit==
-I've requested that {{user|Gaidenjagi}} discuss the content. So far, this looks like [[WP:SOCK|sockpuppetry]] to add unencyclopedic content across multiple articles to undermine certain journalists and Axios.

-: There is nothing more informative about a news outlet or person than the information they want to hide about themselves. The fact of the dinner speaks  potentially to his partisan preferences, and the fact that he'd like to hide it is arguably even more newsworthy. There are also a number of sources about the dinner that could be cited (such as the original: https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/13686). The fact that no effort was made to find and use an acceptable source doesn't comport with the "encyclopedic" spirit. --[[User:GaidenJagi|GaidenJagi]], 1 April 2019  <!--Template:Undated--><small class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|undated]] comment added 16:48, 1 April 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

-Todd was a focus of an August 2008 Los Angeles Times article paralleling Todd's rise to the rise of cable news networks in coverage of U.S. politics.
