So now "What The Chuck" Todd is going to redeem this show and the entire genre with improved ratings and ad revenue, or is this just NBC refusing to get out of the Sunday morning chitchat show?
If they wanted real discussion, NBC could have brought in the group from "The Independents". Or one of the clown shows from its farm system, MSNBC.

I’m wondering what the REAL story is behind David Gregory’s termination. I find it hard to believe that a cable network with Al Sharpton on the payroll has any standards at all.

Gee, makes you wonder (1)how he won the job in the first place and (2)how he lasted so long. And now they have to pay him $4M to leave quietly.

Sharpton is at NBC because it was a condition set down by the Justice Dept to allow the sale of NBC from GE to Comcast. Gregory didn’t have any special protections.

NBC News executives have been trying to come up with a solution to what sources there referred to as the David Gregory problem.how dumb is this? when did networks not fire someone when ratings tank? well, i hope they keep him on the show so they lose more revenue

The first couple of sentences made me dare to daydream for just a moment that I’d see the phrases “barricaded himself” and “extensive arsenal” a few paragraphs in.

He was widely disliked within the organization United Stated and his ambition and vanity rubbed important colleagues at NBC most americans the wrong way.

He was widely disliked within the organization and ... The frizzy-headed, insufferable little body part is "widely disliked" outside the organization, also.

Gregory was chartered back to Washington for Sundays program, having concluded, one NBC source said, that being off was a dumb moveThat never stops Obama.
To: Alberta's Child
Gregory, a graduate of American University’s School of International Service. is being replaced by a college dropout.
That gotta hurt.

Oh the drama...the intrigue...all over this nasty slanted biased liberal David Gregory. Tim Russert was closer to the middle so got the much higher ratings. What else is there to know?

Replace an obnoxious communist host with a less obnoxious communist host presenting the democrat’s talking points as undisputed facts and rhinos agreeing, yes conservative ideals are dangerous and beyond the pale so we must walk over to accept 90% of the position of our good friends the democrats.It’s a sure fire ratings hit!
I personally think they missed the mark! I think it’s time for a bold move by selecting a woman of color- Meet the Press with your host Melissa Harris Perry!

They need to hire someone like Greg Gutfeld. He is like the goldfinger of talk shows.

He should be in jail for possession of a magazine. In my mind he will always be a felon.
