I never did watch Gregory’s because his bias is so blatant. I have gotten out of the habit of Tim Russert’s old show, and Todd can not woo me back. I am gone.
Russert often stayed on an intellectual level that dealt with principles... even when they were liberal - even when they were presented as nitty gritty. But it was almost never personal - never just raw contempt for conservatives.
Also Russent sometimes pulled his punches because he sensed we were humans with feelings... not unlike himself. That's odd for a liberal. That said, like you - after a few weeks I'll probably be gone too... Liberals can have one more show to prop them up... which is fine.
