EXCERPT: Gregory said. "I think it's unfortunate that the leadership of NBC was not capable of dealing with it. I understand Washington and there was blood in the water about me."

Who?
What?
Still can’t find that parody-tune (”It’s All About Me”) on youtube.
Anyone got a link?
GUN CRIMINAL David Gregory.
THANX!
Found it, too, after a deeper search. Not the exact one I was looking for but it fits the bill.
Didn’t he used to be someone famous or important or something?
:: famous or ^important^ or something ::
you appear to have mis-spelled “impotent”.
Oh yeah, thanks for refreshing my memory. Possessed an illegal magazine, right there on national TV in front of the whole world. It was OK for him, though, because he was on TV. /s
He was the moderator of Meet the Depressed.
He was big; it’s the tv that got smaller.
I dunno, I've got 60 inches.
My TV is big, too.
That’s a paraphrase of a famous movie quote.
Exactly, and that attitude is extremely prevalent in America these days, IMHO. I've been thinking a lot about this, and I think to some extent it reflects a lack of a larger, more mature and principled sense of self. It's reflected in a lack of pride about the work we do, and a lack of a sense of personal responsibility. Ultimately it diminishes us, individually, and as a society.
In journalism it is no longer about accurate, hard-hitting, responsible journalism - uncovering the truth wherever it leads. For the wannabe celebrity journalists it's too often about finding a way to insert oneself into the story, showing the world that you have the power to influence events (e.g. Katie Couric creating a negative narrative about Palin, and all the attempts at ‘gotcha’ that have been thrown at Trump), finding a story and/or spin that fits ones personal agenda/biases, and taking unprofessional liberties to sensationalize stories to achieve greatest impact.
Seems to me that this is a shallow and unprincipled way to approach journalism and reporting, and ultimately all the Washington or NYC parties and gala events are just window dressing that will never deliver the level of satisfaction one gets by doing ones job in a principled way. As applied to politics, this appears to be true of way too many.
I know, but any time I can make a joke, I gotta take it. :)
RE: Katie Couric
When she shopped herself around to the networks as a “qualified anchor” is the perfect example of
When THE NEWS became THE NEWS.
IMDB would be happy to follow through on that.
How ironic, I don't miss David Gregory.
David who?
Notdownwidems: I don’t miss Gregory...OR NBC
