For example, take Susan Rice coming on all of the Sunday shows right after Benghazi to insist the attack was a spontaneous uprising due to an obscure American Youtube video that supposedly defamed Islam. She was very insistent; we all watched it.
Yet just a year or so later, she was invited back without any reprimand or even focusing on that lie for at least some of her interview. Image, just for a moment, if it was Condoleezza Rice instead of Susan Rice. Gregory would have pitched a fit.
And for anyone that says Russert was fair minded... Well, maybe compared to Gregory, but he was anything but fair to conservatives. We used to joke about Russert’s body language. When interviewing Republicans Russert would actually scowl, lean forward, tensely gripping the interview notes with both hands. When interviewing a democrat, Russert would smile, lean back, and spread his arms wide.
Gregory and NBC, going back decades, are the propaganda organ of the DNC. MSNBC just infects them more and quicker.
* George W. Bush's nickname for Gregory.
For years we have been calling the show “Meet the Depressed.”
Now I know why.
