1. I don't watch. Can't stand Gregory, but is the show broadcast on NBC or MSNBC? That could be.....

an issue for many folks.

2. I watched that show every Sunday for decades.

When I got my first VCR I set it up to record MTP (as soon as I figured out how to do it, and yes I am that old).



Now I have not watched in months and can't even consider doing so. David Gregory simply is not smart enough to host that show. He only memorizes a few talking points and throws in a "gotcha" question every now and then.


The man is simply terrible at his job. They either need someone like Dr. Maddow to host that show or they need to go back to a panel (or both). I am surprised he is still in third. Fox will be beating him out soon enough and so will PBS.


David Gregory needs to go.

3. MTP should drop the RW talking points and embrace America's progressive majority

4. Former Hosts

I really miss Tim Russert! He was the most even-handed and informed host MTP ever had in my opinion.

5. If they would feature people...

other than dying conservative old white men, maybe they'd attract viewers other than and in addition to dying conservative old white men.

6. Republicon propaganda is exceedingly tiresome

So it's no surprise that Press the Meat (R) has gone flaccid.

7. I'm so happy to see that. n/t

8. I stopped watching years ago

about the time Gregory came on board....I'm happy to hear this--but given MSNBC/NBC habits-they might replace with someone worse..
And while I on a "rant"--Whats up with that "syrupy, sickly sweet, hokey, phony, fact challenged, partisan bs" show called Morning Joe? I subjected myself one morning--never again!

9. Let Rachel Maddow take over for a couple weeks

and see what happens to their ratings.
I think they would be shocked at how it turns around.
ABC and CBS would be the ones whining then.

10. She would be GREAT in that format!
