Does the current incarnation of "Meet the Press" live up to its title?
I've been thinking about this for a while. In its earliest days, MTP was literally that: Political figures met with a panel of members of the press. These panelists came from the print media, the visual media, and the radio, and represented a reasonably wide spectrum ideologically.

Look at MTP today. Guests face... Tim Russert. That's it. And he's not exactly the world's toughest interviewer. Has Meet the Press lost its original concept, and if so, why?

1. No it doesn't. "Press" refers to Journalism, and that died long ago
in this country.
