Petition for Fire David Gregory.com
Bob Wright, Chairman
NBC
30 Rockefeller Plaza
New York, NY 10112
Dear Chairman Wright:
We, the undersigned, are becoming increasingly concerned about the well-being of NBC News' Chief White House Correspondent David Gregory. He has become increasingly ill due to Bush Derangement Syndrome and has turned to alcohol in an attempt to sustain this illness.
In the past month, Mr. Gregory has become part of the stories he is supposed to cover. This is not the proper role of a journalist, especially someone as powerful of Mr. Gregory, who covers President Bush and the White House.
Consider:
On February 13, Mr. Gregory yelled at White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan in an exchange about Vice President Cheney’s handling of his shooting accident. Mr. Gregory said: "Don't be a jerk to me personally when I'm asking you a serious question."
On March 2, Mr. Gregory was a guest on Don Imus' program. He was on the phone from India, where he was traveling with President Bush. Throughout the interview, Imus tried and was unable to conduct an intelligent conversation with Mr. Gregory, who appeared to be intoxicated.
These two episodes illustrate serious breaches in journalistic integrity. Mr. Gregory has done damage to NBC News' reputation and the reputation of journalism as a whole. Journalists should report the story, not become a part of it. Mr. Gregory, who was unable to control his emotions at a White House press conference and behaved inappropriately on a nationally syndicated radio program, is unfit to work for NBC News.
Therefore, in an effort to save NBC from further embarrassment, we ask that you immediately fire Mr. Gregory or ask him to resign.
Thank you.
He was probably smoking some local hashish.
Done!
Whatever it was, he was on something and he didn't have a clue. Love how NBC came out and said he wasn't drunk but nothing else! :)
Done
Thanks -- great feeling even if NBC ignores!
I'm in.
Done, thanks for the opportunity.
Done. I signed it twice. Once for my husband and once for me.
I heard a part of David Gregory's remarks from Imus. Fire David Gregory. Why not. Sounds good to me. LOL
My pleasure.
LOL! OK, will do right now.
LOL! Take a look at this! ;*)
My pleasure...
Not sure I want him fired. Now that he has shown everyone that he is an egotistical and immature fool, it might be fun to have him around for a while longer-- just for laughs, so to speak. :)
Now that David Gregory has called into Imus drunk, I like him. It was funny with his lame allusion to "Arthur"
No please - let them keep him. He helps to accelerate the dearly deserved death of the MSM!
"Throughout the interview, Imus tried and was unable to conduct an intelligent conversation with Mr. Gregory, who appeared to be intoxicated."
I'm not certain Imus has ever tried to conduct an intelligent conversation with anybody.
