Is David Gregory Deliberately Trying To Scuttle His Show?
This Sunday on MTP. an exclusive with John McCain. Exclusive! Yes McCain will likely spend the entire time acting the martyr and complaining about Obama, but who will be watching? And more than anything else, these days, McCain looks like a self pitying whiner. This show used to be a money maker and that's always the bottom line but it's been losing ratings steadily except for when Rachel is on. So why are they killing a cash cow?

3. That show's been little more that Republican propaganda outlet for going on two decades
even if it lost a heap of money, NBC would still fund the thing, because of its value to the right wing's narratives.

21. EXACTLY - for the last 20yrs MTP has become the acting PR Dept for BushInc's fascist cronies.
Thank you Jack Welch!

5. No, he is just naturally a doofus screw up
He thought good suits and a nice haircut would keep us from noticing.

18. I noticed that! Thought I was imagining him getting all spruced up!
I even wondered why I was wondering it. :shrug:

It didn't work. He still sucks.

7. Gregory showed old polls showing McCain ahead of Obama during election
Complete propagandist. People don't know, they just barley understand what's spoon fed to them.

David Gregory cherry picks polls to favor McCain

24. Just Like McCain's Political Career
As both are equally awful, the perverse in me hopes Hayworth knocks him out of the box. That would settle his hash once and for all.

15. I'll tell you why.
Because taking down Obama is more important than ratings or money to these people.

It's not any more complicated than that.

16. Gregory is such a tool.
He is completely talentless. Gregory is a front for the faction in GE who hasn't realized that being anti-progress is bad for business.

Disgusting. And McCain is a doddering old fool. And I generally love the doddering old among us. I wish McCain's ass would get primaried.

20. McCain is a grumpy old man whose only claim to fame is two failed attempts at the Presidency.
Edited on Sat Feb-27-10 06:56 PM by Fla Dem
For any show to continually use him as an important political figure is stupid. This is the man who selected Sarah Palin (who he didn't even know) as his running mate. This is the man who hugged GWBush on stage after BWB smeared him during the 2000 Republican primaries. This is the man who has reversed his stance on DADT to be politically expedient. This is the man who whined during the recent HC Summit about the 2008 Presidential elections. This man has NO credibility. He is not the leader of his party, in fact few in his party like him. He is a worn out, ineffective, irrelevant NOBODY. Oh did I mention he is a war hero because he was captured and tortured by the N Vietcong and held in prison for the durtion of the Vietnam war. Yes, he deserves our respect for that, but so do many other men of his age who were captured by and suffered at the hands of the vietcong.

Gregory is a tool. I haven't watch MTP since Russert died, except when I know Rachel Maddow will be on.

22. He's probably trying to appeal to Repukes because he knows that Repukes watch a lot of TV.
Meanwhile, Democrats, especially Progressive Democrats tend to prefer to >> READ <<.

23. I've already quit watching
Russert was bad enough, but this guy is pathetic the way he lets republicans off the hook. He's still not as bad as George Stephanopolis.
