I hate to say it but Gregory is being tough on Graham and Romney....

about the hypocritical GOP and the morals and the affairs. He is asking tough questions.

Surprised by Gregory.

their falling viewership is a natural result.

But, Gregory is but a symptom of a growing problem. There is no "journalism" in journalism anymore. There are "personalities", pretty faces, and corporate profit oriented agendas.

Or longer - maybe since about raygun... the great communicator - he pulled the shit over journalists too!

The great Walter Cronkite (:cry:) once said he got out when the news division had to show a profit in the bottom line, when previously, the news division never meant profits to a network!

get down on politicians and I read mtp's numbers are tanking so what better way to get some viewers? FACTS! Ya :think:, david?

:)

He seems to have thrown some fit over something Stephanopolous did which made him jealous. Now we know what buttons to push. He needs to be made jealous and envious that someone else is getting better ratings or guests or something.

It won't last. Tigers and their stripes ya know.

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough was all set to appear this Sunday on ABC's "This Week" with George Stephanopoulos when Scarborough canceled...

...Stephanopoulos was first pitched to have Scarborough as a guest by Scarborough's "Morning Joe" co-host on MSNBC, Mika Brzezinski. "About three weeks ago, George got a handwritten note in the mail and a copy of Scarborough's book, 'The Last Best Hope,' " said our source. "The note said, 'Would you consider putting Joe on your show?' Last week, the booking was finalized. "She said she checked with all the high-ups at NBC," said our source.

But on Wednesday night, Stephanopoulos was alerted there might be a problem. Scarborough is said to have informed him, "I'm terribly sorry, but David Gregory had a fit." Yesterday morning, Scarborough canceled his appearance...(An) ABC source said, " 'Meet the Press' has lost more than half a million viewers on David Gregory's watch. That explains his tantrum, but it does not excuse it."

...An NBC rep told Page Six: "NBC News never approved an appearance by Joe on George's show...As far as any issue between David and Joe, he's hosting a book party for Joe..."

Does Gregory have the authority to decide who book on another network's show? Had Gregory planned to invite Joe on MTP? And why is Mika doing Scar's secretarial work? Doesn't he have an assistant of his own? Oops...come to think of it, he probably doesn't...

:blush:

that people on the left who don't like it when he corners Dems with prior inconsistent statements or whatever, or fails to corner rightwingnuts when they think he should (like he lets them answer questions and stuff)...then Gregory is E-V-I-L.

When he does something that results in a checkmark for the Dems, then Gregory is "G-O-O-D."

He wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't irritate both sides. That's when you know a journalist has it right. Question yourself: Are you always, or usually, happy with a media guy? Then that media guy isn't doing his job, or is an opinion media guy and not a journalist.

head honchos of ge..whatever that be.

choir and not presenting both sides. True, I don't believe that there is usually a valid "other side" to a lot of issues. But that's beside the point. I don't go to the KO show to get an unbiased recitation of facts, or a down and dirty interview. He has a position, and he presents his show from that viewpoint.

MTP is not supposed to be like that. I SHOULD get irritated sometimes when a journalist is fair, because I so disagree and dislike some on the other side. But a journalist doesn't have that luxury. They have to at least TRY to let the other side get its point across, unfettered and unfiltered.

I don't think I'm so special that I recognize the difference between journalism and opinion.

But you all are right about one thing: Gregory, like so many others, jumped on the Iraq War bandwagon, and didn't question anything.

There's some merit in what you say, but you have it wrong. He's a lousy journalist. Period. Good and Evil aren't even a consideration. He's nothing more than a pretty face who really doesn't give a shit about asking any questions which is really why he lets everyone talk on and on.

...he was running with the right wing talking points about the Huffington Post guy asking a question from an Iranian citizen. Actually, that was probably more "MSM being threatened by blogs" than carrying water for the wingers.

freakin' tool and not the sharpest.

I turned it off after he hammered Axelrod about the Huff Post question regarding Iranian protesters...with outrage he said "what if Prez. Bush had done something like that?"

He did David, he did.

to clarify that they were not in fucking collusion.

david gregory is jealous of the internet and this better get straightened out, double quick.

were tanking..maybe he's trying something new.

What a pathetic swine.

when he pandered to the right. Additionally, he just doesn't have the personality of Tim Russert. Russert would ask tough questions with a smile and a twinkle in his eye. Gregory is a cold fish, who doesn't really seem to have any passion behind his questions, he's just reading them off the script.

You couldn't get more undermined justice system than the last Bush era. I think gregory was way harder on Axelrod unjustly.
