Boston Marathon bombing survivor Adrianne Haslet-Davis allegedly walked out of the set of Meet the Press with David Gregory.
A survivor of the Boston Marathon bombing stormed off the set of NBCs Meet the Press in tears on Friday after being asked to comment on Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev after she was allegedly promised their names would not be mentioned.
Adrianne Haslet-Davis, a dancer who lost part of one leg during the attack, tweeted after the taping:
I feel so disrespected @meetthepress I asked politely yesterday and you said yes. Now you choose to use the name instead.

I am soooo sick of Tweets being an integral part of the news. Last time (only time) I caught Greta in her new time slot, I was happy to see that stupid Hash It Out segment she used to have near the end of her show seemed to be gone.

I joined Twitter on my little laptop about 4 years ago,realized it wasn’t for me,and haven’t looked at it since.
If a news reader starts reading Tweets I just change the channel. Mindless drivel.

Gregory is a dick. Always has been.

"She shoulda kicked Gregory in the privates on camera." Shame on you! Didn't your momma teach you that you should never hit a girl and especially "there" in her "special place"? ;-0

Using Twitter in a news show is the ultimate in lazy broadcasting IMHO.

A promise from today's political class is only a means to get one to agree to something at that moment.
Remember, these are the people who "keep the promises they meant to keep."

I am left wondering why this chick doesn’t want the guys name to be spoken. It’s not like it is a secret.

Me no understand. Maybe Obammy voter love for the bombers....or a just craziness. After all, if it affected her that much, why did she go on national crapvision?

Ah, so it can be done from a PC.
Got the impression it was what gen-x/y/z was doing 24/7 with those weird phones with all the graphics on them. They never seem to make or receive calls?
To: Oldeconomybuyer
David Gregory is a certified, condescending, elitist turd.

You can get a smart phone not made by apple, btw.
The press are just a giant pack of hyennas, that is all they are.

Well yer gonna need to get over it. Twitter is an astounding tool and can distribute information to millions very very quickly.
Or you can go back to stone tablets.
