David Gregory's new show on MSNBC: Bitterly disappointing

[ecstatic]

He does nothing to counter the RW smear media machine.

In fact, he is a part of the problem.

He has repug Joe Scarborough on every day, dominating the discussion and the tone of the show.

He has no backbone.

Can they please cancel him and put Rachel Maddow on instead?

1. It takes a critic out of the WH press corps n/t

[LSparkle]

8. Verrrrrrry interesting ... I think we have a winner here

Gregory does broadcast from D.C. but I wonder how often he'll show up in the briefings
now that he's probably doing show prep.

I've likewise been absolutely disappointed by this show. I was expecting better from
Gregory but what we've gotten is just "Tucker" with a different host.

24. Does it matter at this point?

With all the shit this administration has done, and they're still walking around free, I think we're all just counting down the days.

[alstephenson]

15. That was exactly my thought...

when I heard the news about his new show.

[LulaMay]

2. Absurd. DeeDee Myers was very good. The rest could barely TALK about the fact that she could win,

or why.

6. He should spend the entire show going after McCain

If we want to see our candidates smeared, we have several other outlets for that,

[wisteria]

23. They seem to be pretty straight foward to me on Clinton's chances. n/t

[high density]

3. I think we're stuck with it through the election

But I agree, it turns into the Joe Scarborough show. It's horrible.

[LSparkle]

9. And he already HAS a fucking show ... lame "Morning Joe"

which I can only abide because occasionally Mika Breszinski (sp?) lets her
more liberal roots show.

[NMDemDist2]

4. I'm just hoping this all elections all the time will give KO the latitude to do more "real news"

I was really getting frustrated with KO's show glossing over the news for the political horse race

:shrug:

[Clear Blue Sky]

5. These shows copy cat each other and each one is worse than the last one.

[KharmaTrain]

7. It's GIGO...

It's more of the same garbage with more of the same people spewing more of the same crap. It appeals to the same people who have kept this networks ratings at the bottom and features the characters who ensure it will stay that way. But it is better than the unmitigated feces that spewed nightly from Bow Tie boy's pie-hole.

I just laugh at how the mighty has fallen. When he was going after Snotty every day, Gregory was a DU heartthrob. People were demanding he get a show. Then he danced with the Rover and the romance ended.

[monmouth]

10. I'd be willing to bet if they did offer Rachel a show but told her she

had to have Joe on w/her, she'd say no thanks. Who knows, that may have already happened...Too tinfoily??

[Submariner]

11. Wasn't Gregory Rove's butt buddy in that revolting MC Rove crap? n/t

[malaise]

12. GEM$NBC strikes again

It's another gathering of Rethug hacks. The program is awful. Just there mere presence of Joe Scarborough should tell us all we need to know.

[DemocratInSoCal]

13. Can't Waste My Time Watching MSNBC Anymore

I still kind of tune into Countdown, but lately, it seems like even Keith has jumped the shark.

Whether it's all the new gimics he has, or his sudden infatuation for Mr. Obama, the show just isn't the same for me any longer.

I've finally realized that all the "news" networks are about is SPIN. I don't need that in my life.

[spanone]

14. he let's scarborough shit all over the place...

[Neecy]

16. it's actually worse than Tucker

With him, you knew you were getting RW propaganda. Gregory is probably viewed as a more honest broker yet the GOP crap is nonstop on his show. Scarborough just shouts down the other guests and does nothing but hammer on Obama. If Hillary was the likely nominee he'd be bitching nonstop on her, too.

I was repulsed when, after pounding Obama for the first half of the show tonight, they came up with the promo, "Is McCain a mensch?" and blabbering about how McCain may pick up a big part of the Jewish vote - despite his gaffe this week in Israel comparing Purim to Halloween.

The whole show is a joke, a Republican whorefest complete with racebaiting and whipping up white hysteria. Disappointing doesn't begin to describe it. Just war profiteer General Electric doing their part to elect John McCain.

[hifalutin]

20. Every time I see

Gregory, I see him dancing with Rove at the Press Club awards dinner.

Don't like his show either.

[stanwyck]

17. I wish someone at MSNBC had the guts to tell

Joe Scarborough to let someone else talk occasionally. The man is so in love with his own voice that he interrupts and talks over everyone else. And, you know, what he has to say just isn't that interesting. We want to hear John Ridley and Mika and all we get is Joe blather. He really embarrassed himself on Bill Maher's show. The guy is a boor. A lout. Joe, shut the f^%k up!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

18. Since he started to periodically fill-in for Matt Lauer on The Today Show, Gregory has gone over to

the dark side.

[morningglory]

19. I checked in to see what it is all about, and there was SnakeLips

Scarborough saying the same crap, so I decided we need to hope Snake Lips will be "Tuckered". Then lo and behold, there is Snake Lips on Tweety, etc. Tucker on HairBall, Tweety on Scarborough. Jeez, they need a fresh new wind. Soon they will be complaining about how no one is watching enough tv, so that is why they are going on 24/7 Brittney coverage.

[ecstatic]

25. so true...they recycle the same people in and out of different shows all day long

Then again, it could be worse. Wolfie has a 3 hr show on CNN. :crazy:

[quiet.american]

21. Not surprised -- he literally danced with Rove. Also --

-- after his "romp with Rove," he was one of very, very few "outsiders" invited by Bush to the WH dinner held for Queen Elizabeth during her visit.

22. Good idea. She is great. Wasn't Gregory one of the media up dancing with Rove

at a media dinner last year?
