Meet the press made its reputation through it's panels of questioners, not its moderators.
They should go back to their original format, then the moderator wouldn't matter.
Or, better yet, some other network should pick up the old format and adopt it.
Look at the clips: It was a REAL news show at one time.

Gregory is an insult to Russerts memory. Russert had roots in politics and loved the process. Gregory is a show pony with a very large mouth and not much else. NBC could have done better than Gregory, so guess the Sunday morning talks shows are now like the rest of the news departments just a shallow version of the substance of the past. Shame but suppose we can sleep later on Sunday mornings now.

Losing Jefferson is no loss. Any politician who can't operate honestly and ethically should be thrown out. It also removes any opportunity for the Republicans to point fingers at the Democrat crooks and liars.

Jefferson demonstrates a characteristic of Democrats on the whole: we get rid of our crooks. Unlike the Republicans who simply re-elect them. One of the core problems with conservatism is that they simple cannot accept that one of the "true believers" can ever be wrong or that, if discovered in a crime, it can be anything other than a liberal conspiracy. They are paranoid partisans to the core.

Gregory is a hack that will destroy MTP just as he did the 6:00 hour on MSNBC. Did anyone actually watch that show? I usually used that hour to cook dinner, go to the bathroom, take the trash out, anything but watch him. MTP needed someone to honor the work Russert did on the show - the nerdy research and heart he put into it will be wasted. Too bad.

"Uncle Tom" Steele is on CSPAN. What a pathetic excuse for a politician...he kisses white Rethug ass all day long and asks for more...how much has he made on his self-hate and utter disregard for those who came before him and their suffering? I guess he'd love to kiss the Aryan Idiot's ass more too, even though she almost incited race riots. Pathetic.

And don't worry about "Russerts memory" (sic). MSNBC has Luke Russert, who may be the worst "reporter" ever seen on that channel. Who says commercial news can't practice nepotism? Little Luke smirks more than The Chimp and says even less.
My memory of Tim Russert is that of a lazy questioner; he couldn't hold a candle to someone like John Chancellor or any of the old, real reporters. None of them can these days.

o_w, I can tell you don't live in Buffalo, New york. Here, the entire Russert family is treated as gods. Mind you, Tim Russert did a lot for his old home town, but can you believe that when young Luke came "home" for Thanksgiving, it was the headline of our newspaper!

David Gregory gives me the major icks every time i see him. if he were a woman, everyone would be chortling that he got the job because of his looks, not his ability.
For a lack of tear gas, the Greek police was throwing stones at the demonstrators(probably anarchists/autonomous block/communists). This led to further escalation. Autonomous groups and communists announced that they will seek a tougher stance against the police. 500 municipal workers were busy monday morning in Athens to get rid of car wrecks.
ATHENS, Greece (CNN) -- Violent clashes between police and protesters erupted for a third day in Greece Monday as anger over the fatal police shooting of a teenager continued to rage through major cities.

Pryce going is really good news, as I recall she was really bad on the social issues, hued to the religiois right line. Good good good.

Just another pretty face. "And, those people at NBC really have an exaggerated sense of the show's value to America." Right you are, plus all this crap about Russert goes way beyond the pale. Just another in a long list of Right Wing mouth pieces.

Remember, this is the guy who danced on stage with "MC Rove", laughing along as they sang about how Rove can't be beat.

David Gregory is one of the worst journalists I know. For starters, he sort of looks like a gorilla with grey hair (wonder how much his haircuts cost?) Gorillas, of course, have a higher IQ.
Even worse, for a few brief moments we thought he was going to be a REAL journalist who asked tough questions at White House press conferences, but that soon passed. The next thing we knew, he was throwing softballs at Bush and dancing the hokey-pokey with Rove. What a poor excuse he is for a reporter, much less the host of Meet the Press.
Not that Tim Russert was much better, he was always Dick Cheney's "go-to" guy, remember? Russert may have had a charming persona but he didn't do our nation any favors when he failed, consistently, to ask the really important and tough questions on Meet the Press.
So if you want to go there, then Gregory is the perfect replacement for Russert. I, personally, would put Aaron Brown in the slot. He is as close to Walter Kronkite as any TV journalist I've seen so far. I also love Keith and Rachel.

I think every blog (well, all except right-wing ones) should put the clip of Gregory dancing with "MC Rove" up weekly. That clip gave me nightmares. It was sickening.
That says it all about DC "journalists.".

wait just a minnit on gregory; this was the ONLY reporter I could ever remember standing up, in your face angry, to Bush in every single 'news' conference at the white house.
