Fox was bound to be in the tank big time for whomever became the Republican nominee for president. It's what the vast majority of their audience wants and it works for their ideological agenda. They can be more beneficial to any Republican candidate for any level of federal office than any individual PAC could be.
I like Chuck Todd, too. He seems to know his shit and is pretty good at asking questions and analyzing political dynamics. I only catch him on occasion, though. The two shows I watch much more regularly on MSNBC is Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow. I DVR them and usually end up fast forwarding through maybe about 1/4 to 1/2 of the segments and parts of segments (I'm not interested in watching political spokespersons saying almost entirely predictable things). Of the two, I think Chris Hayes consistently has more well-developed substance to his shows and Rachel Maddow has a lot more pizzazz and political-junky entertainment slant. Not that Maddow doesn't often have excellent substance, just that she tends to dally around getting to the point - which I'm sure many people kind of like about her show, but after awhile I find myself thinking "just get to the point already!"
