that I had to quickly change the channel. When even I know more through rudimentary research it's infuriating to know that he deliberately spews Republican talking points on a once revered platform.

It did not appear to ask for responses . No wonder.

He's really talented at asking the false choice, either-or, leading
and loaded question. I wanted to punch him first, then vomit.

Another talking point to make Obama look incompetent or embroiled
in SCANDAL....... oooga boooga

HELL yes! This has to be repeated over and over until either dunderhead gets the message, or no one will listen to him anymore.

a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Weimaraner. If he arfed through his show I think it would be an upgrade,

Whose heart was two sizes too small.

around the mouth when he smiles..(have thought this for years)

The "liberal media" is why we can't have a reasoned immigration debate: The lies of Alan Long, Rick Perry, Darrell Issa, etc get WAY more airtime than facts like Sec. Johnson stated, "The deferred action program is for kids who came to this country seven years ago. It’s not for anyone who comes to this country today, tomorrow or yesterday." The only mainstream outlet that takes on the lies of the right? MSNBC in primetime.

At least ABC has been a bit more sane with the immigration debate, with Martha Raddatz giving the paddlin' to Rick Perry going all tinfoil hat on air:

referred to Perry's "glasses of ensmartment" which don't appear to be working.

currently being enforced re the treatment of minors entering the country illegally. And, true to form, many of the Republicans who voted for the law are the ones crying the loudest today.

that all those people at the border were apprehended! They're in the custody of the Border Patrol and Immigration. Our border security is working just fine.

His MO is always to attack Democrats with republican talking points and continue the attack.

With republicans, he'll bring up a Democratic point, let the republican give a BS response and will never follow up pointing out the dishonesty of the reply.

Meet the Press is now just an extension of Fox.

He is pathetic!

at the WH Correspondents' Dinner. Rove. Cantor and Gregory are history.
Fugg 'em.

David Gregory ought to come clean and move over to Fox.

He kept referring to the processing of immigration cases.

He should have explained that those cases are processed according to existing American law, each case on its own merits. He really did not answer the questions, and the answers are quite simple. Next time, the White House should send an expert on immigration law to answer these questions.

The courts may acknowledge the right under our law for some of the "illegal" immigrants to stay and may send others home. This is not such a simple issue. We have laws. We have courts. The courts apply the law case by case -- each of the thousands of cases will entail a hearing I presume.

...and Johnson thankfully refused to accept the premise of the biased question.

The only reason I actually saw it was because I was watching MSNBC when the repeat came on at 2:00 this afternoon. I haven't watched that show in years simply because of Gregory.

(emphasis on "rat&quot

remind me of a zebra?

Tim Russert is rolling over in his grave.

Republicans keep on nagging with their stupid political BS!
The USA turns around" real illegals "in three days ,these people are refugees!

I wish we would deport all the Republicans and replace them with these women and children refugees.

when Dickhead kept repeating the question about how many will be staying here. He should have politely explained to poor confused Dickhead that we have laws regarding the admittance of refugees and those laws have to be followed also, which can greatly slow processing. Poor Secretary has no crystal ball to predict, as Gregory demanded, how many more could arrive?, what would be the total?, would they stay here or be deported?, and Dickhead also somehow believes we should invade Mexico to catch people before they can reach our border, then make sure they head back the way they came, probably to certain death. Once they reach the US we need to do the humanitarian things required by our values which is not to turn them around, give then a bottle of coke and a candy bar, and send them walking back the way they came.

Dick is such a dick it makes me sick! And yes he does look like a dog! And that's bad news for dogs!

A couple of times a day I see women carrying a baby ,sometimes with a child-obviously walking to a relatives house.

They look scared and very tired. It is not in my nature to ignore even an animal in distress and so I call these humans over to me.

I let them use the phone ,the restroom , have something to eat and call their relatives.

A local family member picks them up fairly quickly.

I've never experienced refugees in distress before in my life.

Texas State government should be doing much more!

I've never been more ashamed of America especially the Republican behavior!

Ps- Sunday morning news shows have been ruined by Republican propaganda.

Why McSnidley and Linseed, who have been wrong about so many things for so long, and are arguably nucking futs, are on every freaking Sunday show held up as some kind of important experts we should all be listening to.

I simply choose not to watch the Daviid Gregory-John McCain show anymore. It's like watching Faux News, and I DON'T watch Faux News, ever. I don't even surf through it. I'm so glad that Jeh Johnson put the little fart in his place. Thanks for the transcript!

No doubt the "push factors" mentioned by Johnson are primary drivers, but the rest is still cloudy. Gregory is pushing the rightwing line that the deferred action program is the source of the problem. That is pure wishful thinking on the part of those who want to pin the problem on Obama.

I suspect that part of the problem is due to backlog in immigration courts. If a child travels to reach her family in the US and is detained, her family is located and she is released into their custody with a notice to appear in immigration court. That keeps her safe from deportation until the court date. Because of the backlog in cases, that can be a very long time. So the "permiso" that recent immigrants are talking about could be the notice to appear. That seems to be what is suggested by the INS report in Texas that everyone is talking about, but the facts remain unclear.

Are you some kind of masochist? Haven't you learned by now that he's just a pretty boy in an expensive suit, but a real journalist? No way. I would have watched Face the Nation this morning, except they booked both John McCain and his BFF Lindsey Graham. Watching McCain pout and Graham fear-monger and whine, well I wouldn't get caught dead watching those two. Watching baboons on Animal Planet would be more informative than watching those two. Can't you think of something better with your time than watch David Gregory? Man, you gotta start practicing a little more TV watching descrimination.

At least with banging your head against a wall you would eventually pass out.

David Gregory is a republican shill And a hack....Meet the Press should have canned him years ago.

The children, my gods little kids. Early on I heard an interview with a Border Patrol agent who seemed rather shaken; he said some of the kids were like 5 years old and if you asked them their mothers name they'd say "Mami," and for their fathers name, "Papi." When asked for where they lived they'd say "En la casa."

And the fools screeching at the busses and shouting "USA! USA!" -- they make me ashamed to call them my countrymen.

It hasn't been Meet the Press since Russert died. It should be called Meet the Moron. Gregory should have been fired years ago.

Why are Obama's rating so damn low in view of his accomplishments. Its very simple, the MSM fails to provide him any recognition while they concentrate on the phony trumped up "scandals" of the IRS, Benghazi, AFCA, etc. I have yet to read one article in my newspaper that is supportive of the president or critical of the Republican obstructionism. The Republicans politicians are given a free pass to say the most outrageous about the president without a whimper from the boot licking press.

The ratings have to be horrid if we won't watch, I know I don't, and the rightie nutjobs think anything that's not Fox News is "liberally biased."

by not answering directly either. He should have said no to the first question and have been direct and called him out. He circled too much.

n/t

That whenever David Gregory is on television giving a report his head bobs up and down like a bobble head doll? I never noticed this until a friend of mine pointed it out.

As for pandering.. that is what most journalists do today. They may still hold honorable ideas about journalism and relaying the news but so many are forced to sensationalize and manipulate news/current events because the corporate media has mandated placing profit over honest journalism. Sensationalization and manipulation causes individuals to engage in an information feeding frenzy which as the secondary effect of putting people at odds with each other. The result (as an example) is people flocking to yahoo news to comment and then reply to comments over and over again. Each page hit is another page viewed with advertisements. Each additional minute watching cable news results in more people watching commercials. It results in increased ad revenue. Most news media outlets are owned by just a handful of corporations and their prime mandate is to compete with each other.

Is there any wonder his rating are somewhere below snake shit?

I think I watched him 3 or 4 times after he took over MTP. I figured him out, and haven't intentionally watched since
