I tuned in late, hoping to hear Maddow. Instead, there was some smugsmirk talking over her and refusing to let her talk, basically acting like a 9-year-old on the playground. Who the hell was he?

I get filled with despair when I see even DUers who regularly watch that propaganda and buy into the propaganda.

(1,727 posts)work in that format - being aggressive and rude does. Ideas lose out to whoever is the rudest when the moderator doesn't do his job whether intentionally or because he doesn't care or isn't smart/quick enough to take over.

(15,783 posts)that the only way to win an argument with Maddow is to duct tape her mouth. They sure as hell can't do it with brains.
And, yes, Gregory sucks. There was a time when he was respected as a journalist.

(17,656 posts)He won't admit it, though.
Gregory was on Joe Scarbrow's program Friday morning and he was making as many excuses as he could for each 1 of the possible veep candidates for Romney, highlighting every single one of their supposed "qualities", but never mentioning any of their drawbacks.
And he cuts off Rachel most of the time whenever she is on Meet the Press.

(39,451 posts)one word about the lies coming out of Romney's campaign about Obama? Axelrod was pissed.
All in the same show where Rinse Peinus said that Obama has blood on his hands, and David didn't even bat an eye.
Hopefully one day the management at nbc will wake up and realize that David Gregory is in way over his head as moderator of MTP.
