We need to boycott David Gregory.
He is a complete stooge anyway and a complete waste of time.

I bet the McCain campaign complained about Olbermann's fact checking. He won't let them get away with their lying asses.

18. I have no use for David Gregory
If KO and Matthews are out (I have been using MSNBC for tv news for the last year or so) I suppose I might jump ship to CNN with a barf bag at the ready - knocking Keith off the anchor slot re: election coverage is ass-backwards - what the hades is the motivation? Does MSNBC want to sink in viewership?

31. Oberman and Matthews will be on for opinions
which in my mind seems more professional. Hopefully Brokaw, Andrea Mitchell, and Brian Williams will chair as well. You don't see Bill OReilly anchoring the elections?

29. I HATE this "Race to the White House" bullshit
The most inept, inane, miss-the-obvious drivel on political reporting EVER.

If I need to know the right wing talking points with excruciatingly stupid explanations of them, that's where I'll go.

At least there's Rachel to look forward to at the end.

7. Just 3 weeks ago, rumor had it that David Gregory
was going to be canned from the "Road to the White House" imminently.

I guess David took an oath on the life of his children to do the repukes bidding!

19. They are taking Olbermann and Tweety off the election desk coverage.
and giving it to Shill Gregory.

Per Drudge.

26. Hmmmm....do you really believe Drudge? Rachel's first show is Monday!
I can't believe they're taking both of them off the elections scene. What exactly does "off the election desk" mean? Is it simply another phrase for "Road to the White House"?

I think we should all wait and see what really happens before we get all crazy!

28. I still don't understand what "taking them off the anchor desk" means.
Edited on Sun Sep-07-08 11:01 PM by napi21
If that means they will not be anchors on voting night in Nov. FINE. I'll watch something else! If that means Countdown & Hardball is going away, then so is MSNBC in my house except for Rachel. If they cancel KO & CM, I have to believe Rachel doesn't stand a chance!

20. Haven't watched a minute of Gregory since he hooked up with KKKarl
That was a clue to his leanings.

25. Is it actually called a boycott when nobody's interested in watching him anyway?
Seriously, what kind of viewers is NBC hoping for with David Gregory? They should have just replaced Olbermann and Matthews with a dead fish. Would have been more exciting.

32. If we don't stand up now, we can kiss this election good-by
It's the media. It's always been the media. They are more afraid of the right than they are of us because we always let the "concerned" citizens tell us that threatening them doesn't work.

Well yes, goddammit, it does.

34. WATCH KEITH & RACHEL, ONLY!!!!
then turn the channel immediately to another news channel, even faux.

let them reap the ratings benefit, until msnbc(ge) decides they want their viewers back.

35. I boycott dumbasses as a matter of routine.
I don't need a movement to tell me not to listen to dumbasses. I just do it cause it suits me. :)

41. I'm there. I have become so disappointed with Gregory since they made him a "talking head"
He's fallen in love with himself. As such, he demonstrates the intellectual depth of a baby's wading pool. IMNSHO, Gregory is now nothing more than a sycophantic journalistic whore for the "status quo" power elites.
