Milo Yiannopoulos‘s resignation from Breitbart has gotten a lot of media coverage today, and on MSNBC Chuck Todd made the decision to briefly mention this controversy without even saying his name.

Why? Because, as Todd argued, he’s “just not worth talking about.”

He only took a minute to briefly address the news on his show, making it clear he didn’t want to devote time to covering someone “troll[ing] for attention.”

“Free speech does not mean giving someone a free platform to spread hate or nonsense,” he said, “even it if does mean more clicks.”
