Is it wrong of me to say I really don't like watching David Gregory?

It's not because he's not a "biased" journalist like Keith or anything, its because he spends virtually every minute of airtime trying to hype up useless, sensationalist stories. Worse, he seems to get sooooo much personal enjoyment out of the sensationalist crap. And yeah, I fully get that folks like Anderson Cooper also do this, so I don't know who I'll turn to.

Bottom line though, unless there's a really thorough helping of Rachael Maddow and Gene Robinson - the only two interesting personalities left on their election coverage - I'm probably switching to either CNN or PBS.

6. Seconded.

Abrams has a massive ego, but at least he's not a shamless idiot.

4. When Keith hears or sees something

really stupid he will point it out. Rachel is the same way. I like both of them very much. With Gregory and Scarborough they first think about how they will look or sound. It is about them--not about what has been said or heard. Gregory has no common sense. He has self-sense and how he can promote himself. It is the only reason I can see for him dancing with Karl Rove. That was really stupid!

10. Schieffer lost me ages ago. I used to

think the older one gets the wiser one is. Schieffer is another Gregory.

8. I don't like him either.

9. Its a sad state of affairs for MSNBC that Gregory is their key "unbiased" journalist

This pretty much shows that they have nothing in the cupboard. Why not just bring Dan Rather to moderate things?

11. Yup. David Gregory is an air head as far as being a political journalist.

He never brings important issues into focus. He is a loser. imo
