David Gregory just allowed Congressman Spence of Indiana to lie
about McCain's record on earmarks! He said. "McCain never took any earmarks in his career." And of course Gregory ignored that lie.

1. David (The Toadie) Gregory doesn't believe it is his job to call the lies out. He gets more guests
if they can lie with impunity

3. How could you call yourself a journalist if you don't call politicians out on a lie.

10. Would it be more understandable if your wife had *deep* ties to Fannie Mae?
Like if she was the VP of Fannie Mae deep?

4. Why are you watching Gregory?
I broke with my MSNBC boycott to watch a bit of Hardball and afterwards got great pleasure from flipping Gregory off as I turned the channel to CNN.

:shrug:

9. Jack Cafferty should resign from CNN. I think that Jack would be perfect for that time slot.

8. Stop watching that awful show.
I stopped after he had a campaign advisor for McSame on for about 10 minutes at the end of his show to go on a lie-fest and Gregory didn't make a peep except to clarify how much of a maverick mcClown is :puke: Terrible, awful, no-good show.

13. He's A Journalist
Its not their job to investigate lies. Just report and respond to lies as if they are facts. If he says too much he might lose his anchor job.
