NBC News reporter David Gregory has been retained by his network and will continue to host the Sunday morning interview program Meet The Press. The details of Gregory’s new contract have not been released by NBC News, but a report in The Washington Times describes the arrangement as “a long-term commitment.”

How low can the ratings go?
Flashback 2013:
“What a great vote of confidence from NBC,” a pleased-looking Mr. Gregory said Thursday. He said his first four years in the moderator’s chair have passed quickly.
“In some ways, it feels like we’re just getting started,” he said.

It is a “flashback” story, in light of him getting fired today. http://www.mercurynews.com/entertainment/ci_26337183/is-david-gregory-out-at-meet-press
i guess for libtards sticking with anything for a year is a long-term committment.
I haven’t watched the show since Russert passed and it’s all because of the partisan, snot-nosed punk Gregory.
And I renew my long-term commitment not to watch this biased program.
Yeah, Ann Curry had a long-term deal with NBC when they dumped her from the Today show. She’s still on the payroll, but I can’t remember the last time I saw her on an NBC News broadcast. If Gregory’s ratings continue to crater, he will also be placed in the broadcast news equivalent of the witness protection program.
One more thing: Gregory ought to give his agent a bonus. It’s quite a feat to get a long-term deal for a TV personality who has taken an iconic franchise from first to worst in only four years. The Brit now running NBC News must be an absolute idiot if she thinks any other network was about to “steal” Gregory away.
Interestingly enough, “Meet the Press” is still #1 (most Sundays) in Washington, D.C. market, followed by Fox News Sunday. But that’s largely because the local NBC-owned station (WRC) usually wins the local ratings battles, and not because Gregory has legions of fans who faithfully tune in. Nationwide, MTP is getting killed, and NBC won’t keep Gregory in the anchor chair indefinitely, even if he has a long-term deal.
David Gregory, Scott Pelley, I guess Scott comes in second in my rogues list, not by much though.
Both POS.
Oh, the humanity....

Any doubt that Chuck Todd is as much of a Democratic hack, if not more so, than David Gregory? Yes.
Do I expect MSNBC to reject its blatant Bias and be fair to both sides? No.
