In thinking of Gregory I will always remember Florida 2000 when David Bloom was one of the lead NBC reporters. James Baker would always let him ask a question and, if my memory serves me, he always seemed to ask substancial questions and actually came across as an honest journalist (as much as possible). Again my memory of Baker always calling on him seemed to create such an impression.

Bloom died in Iraq and I remember being so bummed. Whether he was an overall liberal or not he had an aura that was the hallmark of a good reporter - a questionable political allegiance.

David Bloom - RIP

Well, when I think of Gregory I remember him showing off and trying to impress Chirac by asking a question in French, and President Bush making fun of him.

I think Gregory has never gotten over it. In fact, I think we should send Gregory nasty notes in French, just to let him know we haven't forgotten what a jerk he is.

David was one of the few good guys at the MSM. His death hit hard, miss him to this day.
