If it's Thursday, it's Fox News and Bill O'Reilly thumping David Gregory's Meet The Press declining ratings, Gregory's liberal bias, NBC's biased hand-wringing over health care protests.
O'Reilly: "If you look at the sum of NBC's reporting on the protests for the last five weeks it's all the same thing. These people who come out to the town hall meetings to protest health care are a bunch of yahoos. They [NBC, MSNBC, Today Show] all bang the same drum: there's no legitimate protests here, they're all far-right crazies."
Former CBS News correspondent and author Bernard Goldberg: "They never cared when their guys were calling George Bush a Nazi and a Fascist. When liberals on college campuses would shout down speakers they disagreed with, never a peep about that. All of the sudden they are very sensitive to the civility of the demonstrators. The hypocrisy is what bothers me."

NBC David Gregory Meet the Press. He starts out with a disadvantage he isn't Tim Russert.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I remember him from MSNBC and appearing on Imus in the Morning, he is kind of a crude dude.
Now because of his promotion he takes himself seriously but the rest of don't.
Bernard McGuirk would call that a "Snatch 22" LOL!
NBC wants ratings for Meet The Press, they will have to go outside their pool of hires.
My pick, Jeff Greenfield of CBS. I take Jeff seriously, he has credibility and isn't a jackass, he is also an I-fav.
Dump ol' DG back in the White House. Drop that tool with the goatee.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine how amusing (yet totally depressing to anyone who loves this country) to have Robert Gibbs and gregory going back-and forth? I long for the days when Ari Fliescher would put old "Stretch" in his place.
Amen.
ReplyDeleteBernie G's hypocrisy point is right on.
ReplyDeleteKeyboard J,
ReplyDeleteI too like Jeff; have for years.
For a "not too hot" name that I would like to see pushed up: Jack Tapper. Jack may have his bias's, but I rarely see it play out in his reporting.
PLUS, he takes no shit.
Tapper just needs to switch networks - from ABC to NBC.
