Time Running Out for David Gregory on “Meet the Press”
Accuracy In Media ^ | July 23 2014 | Don Irvine

Posted on 07/23/2014 2:05:39 PM PDT by PoloSec

The New York Post’s Page Six reports today that David Gregory could be replaced as moderator of Meet the Press shortly after the November election.

Rumors have been swirling for months about Gregory’s future at Meet the Press, as the ratings have sunk by 45 percent since he took over from the late Tim Russert in 2008. Gregory has turned Russert’s decade-long run at number one into a perennial third-place finish among Sunday morning talk shows.

The Post reported that while NBC News President Deborah Turness is publicly supportive of Gregory, she is seriously concerned about the ratings problems. The Post cites a source who told them that the discussion about Gregory is whether to replace him before the elections or after, giving a new moderator time to settle in.

If Gregory were to get the boot, the most likely successor is NBC Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd, with Joe Scarborough and Savannah Guthrie as remote possibilities.

Are these shows even relevant any more except for ADM and other rent-seeking corporations showing how they can kiss political butt by buying ads?

Who is host of a TV show: there’s a stop-the-presses national story.

I’m still waiting for him to be charged for blatant violation of DC’s magazine ban.

*crickets*

His ratings went south when he waved around a normal capacity magazine like he was immune to law (and the prosecutor confirmed it).

So he will likely be replaced with another Obama lapdog. No surprise. I used to watch some of the Sunday morning shows but haven’t done so for years. Looks like I’m not missing anything.

So what? They will replace one Leftwing stooge, Gregory, with another Leftwing stooge. Then a year from now the press will be writing the same story. No one gives a s-—t about Sunday morning talk shows anymore.

"If Gregory were to get the boot, the most likely successor is NBC Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd, with Joe Scarborough and Savannah Guthrie as remote possibilities."

Surely a qualified NBC moderator for Meet the Press could be found in a heavily-used cow pasture.

I know I haven’t watched MTP since Russert passed away. Gregory is an @ss kissing Obama apologist.

The ratings dropped 45% becuase the IQ of the show dropped 45%.

Gregory is nothing more than a political hack. Why would anyone watch him?

I have it from a good source that the new non-bias moderator will be Jay Carney.

Not in the least. Only these shows and “news entertainment” claim they are relevant. No one watches this drivel.

I’ll never forget Gregory’s first “interview” with Obama.
As Obama entered the room, Gregory bowed to him with “hello Mr. President”. As Obama left the room, Gregory followed him and as Obama was passing through the door Gregory again bowed to Obama’s back and said “goodbye Mr. President” I was horrified. The last time I watched that butt kissing smarmy creature.

Gregory is one of those people who manage to cultivate an instant dislike by others. People don’t like how he looks or sounds and the general desire is to punch him in the mouth

One of the few people in the MSM who I respect is Jake Tapper. If ABC would have given him their Sunday news slot, it’d be #1.

I agree with the above. They will just replace him with another left wing politcal hack.
