7. Me neither
Unless someone here on DU mentions a particular segment, I bypass the Sunday talk shows. They don't do anything newsworthy, don't add anything to the discussion on a topic.

9. Rarely, only when there was a good guest.... less motivated now
Edited on Mon Dec-29-08 11:24 AM by hlthe2b
(if that is even possible as I really do not like Gregory)

Stephanopolis is bearable, I guess as long as there is someone on the panel to counter Cokie's ridculousness.

10. I Liked Something In Your Reply : )
The way you didn't capitalize gregory's name. I make it a regular habit when mentioning repukes and other such assholes:thumbsup:

17. Me too! I never use caps when the subject is a repuke.
I also misspell their name.

They don't deserve the respect a capital letter implies.

5. Why? What's the big deal?
I always listen to the podcast. I haven't yet listened to yesterday's show. My impression is that Gregory is kind of a pussycat so far, but I think he'll toughen up. I miss Russert. He was tough on everybody.

11. I did not like Timmy a lot, but at least he was not a Republican tool
even though he may have been a GE Buttplug





David Gregory is just a whipped dog for the Reichwing.

14. Hard to be done
when you never were a viewer.

I never liked Mr. Russert's version of interviewing.

18. I missed yesterday's show. I missed the one before that. It is a much
lower priority for me now. I haven't decided for certain about David Gregory, but I'm not impressed, so far.

20. I cannot remember the last time I turned on MSNBC
at one time I was on their survey list. At least I was when I was a KO cheerleader.
However, for some reason (perhaps too opinionated) they do not send me questionnaires anymore.
So, am I done with Meet the Press? Oh yeah. For a long time now.

22. Yes, I am done with "Press the Meat".
Edited on Mon Dec-29-08 12:11 PM by bobd0
David Gregory is a clown. He should be last man climbing out of one of those micro-cars.

I can't even remember what time it comes on.

24. I will not watch any show anchored by Douche Gregory
NBC had an opportunity to put someone worthy in that chair, and instead they went with that piece of shit. Guess I get to sleep in on Sundays from now on.

27. The problem was that Brian Williams who would have been the most
credible selection was taken. M$NBC has no credible talent for that type of show other than Williams. So, only pathetic hacks like gregory and mitchell were in contention.

30. David Shuster would have been better
Hell, even Tweety. He's capable of asking tough questions when he wants to. But given his not exactly secret Senate ambitions, he was probably never considered for the job. And obviously they wouldn't even consider putting Keith or Rachel on a flagship network show.

25. I haven't watched any of that crap in years.
I'd rather sleep and have brunch.
Much more productive!

29. I've never been a huge watcher of any of the network "news" programs including MTP
only tune in if they have some newsmaker I'm paticularly interested in seeing, otherwise I find them all pretty worthless. They also don't get big ratings which is why I wonder what the big deal is about hositng MTP, except that it's been on TV forever.
