That’ll go over like… a David Gregory.
Edit: The next person who says "Liberal Media! to me gets a punch on the nose.

Chunk’s slim-down another clue but he’s just Dave without the high school cool kid panache

Great. Just what we need; another Beltway villager sucking up to power and chasing a conservative audience. Get someone in there who can actually formulate and ask a real journalistic question.

Well, it will be easier to hide Chuck’s high chair, being behind the table at least.
I think Maddow would be a perfect choice, but I can understand why they wouldn’t want to pull her…she is killing in her time slot right now.
Plus, Todd is much more compliant with the right wing agenda that MTP has dedicated itself to supporting.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

Might as well put a large ham with a painted-on Van Dyke in the host’s chair. No one would notice.

Chuckie-T wouldn’t be my 1st choice but most any one is an upgrade from Gregory…Although I think NBC will take due diligence considering the jacked up the hire b4 they give it to chuck-T
There is something fundamentally wrong with “Meet the Press;” the ratings won’t be fixed by switching out Todd for Gregory. Back in the day the show featured DC people in the news and made them answer hard questions Americans wanted to ask regarding the issues and these leaders’ responses. Lately MTP trots out the same old same old, pitchs softballs, ignores equivocations and non answers and never points out bold faced lies. Who wants to watch that?

Holy shit, a fluff piece about Politico. Congratulations, TPM, you’re now an official member of the Beltway Media.

All the “hosts” on all the Sunday shows are interchangeable, and Russert was always a fraud, rarely asking a meaningful follow-up question.

PS-It ain’t the meat but the ancient, analog format like so much of TV after the giant corps flushed out all the creativity…
He’s not going to get John McCain’s dressing room, is he?

They don’t play to the public at large. Their audience is mostly other talking heads and the occasional politician in the beltway. And people like Gregory and his producers really could care less what rest of the public things of their little circle jerk sessions.

They don’t have a press to meet anymore.

Correction : Chuck Todd with be the last host of “Meet the Press”. After the back to back abominations of David Gregory and Chuck Todd, MTP will no longer be on the air.

I’d rather see Dave Weigel get the job.

“Bleat the BS” NBC’s new sunday talk show.
The key element will be the segment where they pit top commenters from Free Republic, Hot Air and Politico to thrash it out with elected lawmakers desparate enough to share a dodgy venue in order to “get their message” out.
Word is the whole thing is going to be sponsored by a Colorado MJ Medible Company and the show will be broadcast from Denver so as to ensure that each episode begins in the Center(a geographical definition of “center” is the only one agreeable to left & right).
