Flashback 2013:

“What a great vote of confidence from NBC,” a pleased-looking Mr. Gregory said Thursday. He said his first four years in the moderator’s chair have passed quickly.

“In some ways, it feels like we’re just getting started,” he said.

It is a “flashback” story, in light of him getting fired today. http://www.mercurynews.com/entertainment/ci_26337183/is-david-gregory-out-at-meet-press

I haven’t watched the show since Russert passed and it’s all because of the partisan, snot-nosed punk Gregory.

Yeah, Ann Curry had a long-term deal with NBC when they dumped her from the Today show. She’s still on the payroll, but I can’t remember the last time I saw her on an NBC News broadcast. If Gregory’s ratings continue to crater, he will also be placed in the broadcast news equivalent of the witness protection program.

One more thing: Gregory ought to give his agent a bonus. It’s quite a feat to get a long-term deal for a TV personality who has taken an iconic franchise from first to worst in only four years. The Brit now running NBC News must be an absolute idiot if she thinks any other network was about to “steal” Gregory away.

Interestingly enough, “Meet the Press” is still #1 (most Sundays) in Washington, D.C. market, followed by Fox News Sunday. But that’s largely because the local NBC-owned station (WRC) usually wins the local ratings battles, and not because Gregory has legions of fans who faithfully tune in. Nationwide, MTP is getting killed, and NBC won’t keep Gregory in the anchor chair indefinitely, even if he has a long-term deal.

Both POS.

Any doubt that Chuck Todd is as much of a Democratic hack, if not more so, than David Gregory? Yes.

Do I expect MSNBC to reject its blatant Bias and be fair to both sides? No.
