F*ck David Gregory!
I don't know why I turned on MTP this morning. I've avoided it like the plague ever since that hack Gregory took over. Well I guess curiosity/boredom swayed me to check out the show this morning. Well, within the first 20 seconds Gregory the RW shill list a bunch of negative stats about "Obama's Economy." You don't have to be an economics major to know that it takes months and years of wheels in motion to affect the current state of the economy. Just the fact that he framed it as "Obama's Economy" is a ridiculously thin veiled attempt to inject his RW talking points into the commentary. What's next "Obamacare" and the "Government Takeover of the Health Industry." NBC should fire this hack and replace him with Larry O'Donnell or Rachel Maddow. Rant Over.

3. We thought Russert was a shill. He was debatable. Gregory is a joke.
David Gregory is a miserable excuse for a human being. He has no critical thinking skills.

19. would that be spelled
Joe Pyne?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Pyne

These guys (Pyne, Downey, Limbaugh et al) have been around forever or so it seems.

Agreed David Gregory is an enormous waste. I always picture him standing out in the cold in front of the White House. :rofl:

9. There is a thread like this every Sunday
I don't know why people even watch MTP. He's a RW shill, that's why their ratings are in the toilet.

10. MTP needs to go back to it's original format -- a panel of newspeople questioning the guest.
David Gregory doesn't have the objectivity, intelligence, or interview skills to carry a show on his own. It's just a matter of time before there's a format change of some kind, IMO.

David Gregory will always be remembered by me for his bumping ass dance with Karl Rove.

18. Me too.. That image is always the first thing I think about David Gregory
There was a moment in time.. BEFORE that dinner when I wondered if maybe David Gregory might just be alright..
After that.. after seeing him bump AND kiss Rove's ass like that..I was over him, still am, will always be

MTP is a total waste - IMHO

I'll second the idea of bringing back the panel of journalists do do the questioning.

25. Why are any of you still watching the Sunday punditry programs?
If it isn't the lightweight Gregory, it is the pompous George Will on ABC, or the equally repugnant daughter of segregationist Hale Boggs, Cokie Roberts.

30. You may be overestimating the intelligence of the American people...
.... the WH needs to get on this talking point with the quickness.

You and I know the economy is improving .... that we're losing jobs at almost half the rate we were in January .... but most Americans dont see that. They just know unemployment is at 9.8% .... it might be at 12% if it hadn't been for the stimulus bill .... but it's hard to prove somethign that didn't happen.

37. Russert was a very good host.
The fact that he is loathed by a lot of DUers and a lot of Freepers shows that he wasn't afraid of asking uncomfortable uestions.

And for the record, Russert was a lifelong progressive Democrat. Right wingers don't usually hold jobs as speechwriters for Mario Cuomo...

died. It was half-assed then but sometimes it was OK, now it's not worth a minue of my time. :-(

42. I've turned Press The Meet off on my DVR... it's just not worth watching anymore
Gregory is all about himself and seems to never have gotten over his lovely dance with Karl Rove. It is a sickening show from the level of gotcha quotes and over-blown predictions... frankly, all the Sunday shows are like that (ABC,NBC,CNN,CBS) and you know you're not watching "news", but calculated antics based on strawman talking points.

46. I agree and I support your suggestion of Lawrence O'Donnell taking over.
Not to mention LD was in Congress so he would be helpful in adding that bit more of understanding and knowledge to the legislative process.
