Poll question: Does Anyone Here Watch meet the press any more?
timmy sucked most of the time, but I do not remember the last time I watched this show. gregory is a big part of the reason, but the lineup is shitty most of the time IMO.

8. He was born in Brooklyn in 1892
Union man, good Democrat, never missed an election. Was half-deaf when I was a kid in the 1970s, and I have fond memories of his rabbit-earred TV blaring with all the Sunday news shows. Of course, back then, there were real journalists on them. Not hairdoes.

He would yell, "Press the Meat is coming on!"

Hilarious. Good times, good times.

9. They have moved it to early in the morning here, so they can run infomercials in the old slot.

10. Why Would Anyone Want To??The ONLY News I Watch On MSM these Days
comes from MSNBC because of a few hosts like Ed Schultz, Keith Olberman and Rachel Maddow! Other than that... it's BBC, Democracy Now and other documentaries!

A VERY SAD state of affairs, but one we seem HELPLESS to do anything about! I keep hearing things like "let's keep fighting" but I keep wondering WHERE'S THE FIGHT? How are we going to START THE FIGHT? Where's the organization? Down here where I live it's all but IMPOSSIBLE to get ANY kind of movement going! Democrats where I live are either DLC or DINO in a Ruby Red District! I don't even know HOW to start, much less GET SOMETHING started!

13. Okay! Is That Supposed To Make Me Feel Better? I'm NOT SEEING
very much FAIRNESS these days! In fact, I'm getting VERY AFRAID!!!

Once middle class, I have what I have which is more than many, but I'm teetering now! I've promised myself not to buy ANYTHING I don't REALLY need because of what I see as LACK of FAIRNESS! And yes, this doesn't apply to MSM, but it DOES apply to what THEY represent and HOW it's affecting MY LIFE!!

19. I cannot stand to watch even 30 seconds of Douche Gregory
Most of the Sunday talk shows are shit anymore. Very rarely are there any actual Democrats on them. 90% of the time it's some DLC tool.

23. I watched religiously. I gave up on Gregory when he gave that assurance
that the interview would go the way the interviewee wanted it to go. I can't even remember who he gave that assurance to, but after that, I was just done with him.
