David Gregory is an awful reporter

[Stinky The Clown]

He is on teevee talking about the storm impact on the election.

He tells us:

Both sides are trying to help.

Obama is seen at the Red Cross. Rmoney is in Ohio collecting needed supplies.

Really, Stretch, you lying sack of dog shit? Needed supplies? You're a man with access to news reports. Check the record. The Red Cross said they didn't want that stuff from Rmoney. But that doesn't suit your bullshit false equivalency.

Hey Stretch, why don't you go over to Fox where shit like this is the norm.

1. our media is so broken. i don't know if it can be fixed.

we have lost any sense of balance.

[kentuck]

2. I can't disagree...

How did he ever get that job anyway? Did he come in with Joe Scarborough?

[freshwest]

9. Remember whe he was dancing with Rove? He's been in the in crowd a long time.

Most of the top jobs in media seem to be examples of nepotism through collegial associations or family. They just keep forcing the same old hacks back in our faces, with no regard to ratings or quality.

Whoever will read the lines written, just as Nordquist says tRomney will sign the laws that have already been prepared, to run the affairs of this country for the next 20 years.

[kentuck]

18. Seems to be the case...

[lunatica]

36. Like Diane Feinstein he probably got the job after someone who was very good died

[Tutonic]

3. Reporter? Gee is that what he is calling himself these days.

I always thought he was Karl Rove's lapdog. Guess that explains Mitt calling himself President Elect.

[Timbuk3]

4. Open Letter From Chris Christie, NJ, and NY to Potus

Please hold a self-centered "I want to be POTUS and I'll say and do anything to secure what I feel is my birthright" rally in OH and send us some cans of soup. Because we believe you're just that out of touch.

[D23MIURG23]

5. He is completely worthless. Wouldn't know a fact if it shook his hand. n/t

[Auntie Bush]

6. I can't believe I used to like that guy when he was a White House reporter. Has he changed or

was I just stupid?

[Indpndnt]

17. Back then, he probably followed a script given to him.

Now, he thinks he can write his own script with his own 'facts.'

[avaistheone1]

7. David Gregory is a joke of reporter.

I think he fancies himself as a joker.

[jsmirman]

8. David Gregory is an anus-mouthed hack

I was going to post a spin on "David Gregory is an awful..." but then my browser suggested the above and I felt like it was appropriate.

[Third Doctor]

10. I don't rate him as a reporter at all.

[Enrique]

11. i thought he was a backup dancer

[Lone_Star_Dem]

12. He's a dancing clown, not a reporter.

If he ever had any journalistic ethics, they died years ago. Or they were sold to the higheest bidder. Take your pick.

[targetpractice]

13. Right? He is so infuriating...

I try to respect the efforts of my fellow human beings to do their thing, but he is truly THE WORST at what he does.

He is a binary thinker with a black and white interviewing style... He only asks yes or no questions (never asks "why" or open-ended questions), and he is constantly looking to extract quotes from his interview subjects that will become sound bites for Tim Russert-esque "gotcha moments" in the future.

For example he always asks, "If you said this, then surely you must believe that."

To which guests, like Hilary Clinton, chasten him for his inability to understand nuance or think in shades of grey.

I can't figure out why he was promoted from host of the weekend "Today" to "Meet the Press" unless he was the only one around willing to wake up that early on Sunday mornings.

P.S. I must admit I can't help chiming in on criticize David Gregory threads.

[-LOKI -BAD FOR YA]

39. between dickhead and toadie i do not know who is worse,edge might go to toadie

[Freedomofspeech]

14. He is an insignificant hack.

At one time, I thought he was a serious newsman in the line of Tim Russert. Unfortunately, he has proven himself to be more of a Matt Lauer than Tim Russert. He is a nothing more than a cheap shill in an expensive suit. He and his lapdog Chuck Todd should be co-hosting a morning show on a local station in Branson, Missouri instead of covering real news.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

21. Actually

I see Tim Russert in the same camp as David Gregory. Why I never watched or watch MTP even when Rachel is on.

[DakotaLady]

23. He is an insignificant hack.

I'm so glad you mentioned Chuck Todd in your 10/30/2012 post. I press the 'mute' button on my remote whenever he appears.

I wonder most of time whose side is he on ...

An aside - this is my first post here on DU hope I did it right.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. Your post is just right, my dear DakotaLady!

Welcome to DU!

I hope you will post frequently, and come to know us.

[DakotaLady]

29. Thanks for the welcome ...

... like your name 'California Peggy'. I'm a native daughter of California. My DakotaLady comes from the years of driving a Dodge Dakota 4X4 in Northern California.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. I'm not a native Californian, but I have lived here since I was 13.....close enough!

I wondered where your name came from...I thought maybe you were from one of the Dakotas.

My husband and I lived for several years in Northern California.

[Volaris]

26. Welocme to our little political corner of the Internet

We're glad you found us.

[DakotaLady]

30. Guilty ...

of being on here for hours over the years but just rather shy about posting. The mention of Chuck Todd ... just has to post.

Thanks for the welcome ...

[lunatica]

37. Welcome to DU!

Yes. You did it right!

[ProfessorGAC]

38. You Wonder Whose Side He's On?

Come on Dakota! Chuck Todd is never been on our side, and he's really not on anybody's side but Chuck Todd.

He was actually a dirty trickster for the RNC back in the 90's. So, he's clearly NEVER been on our side.

But, i am like you in that i will change channels any time i see that smarmy twit on TV.

[Warren Stupidity]

35. Timmy was a horrible journalist.

[GP6971]

15. There is no one comparable to

Edward R Murrow (sp) or Walter Conkrite anymore. Nor Peter Jennings, and Huntley & Brinkley. Everyone on the airwaves today are political shills..........in it for the money instead of integrity. To all of them I raise my ....well.....I won' say what finger.

As country, we should be ashamed

[MrsBrady]

16. preach it, man k&r n/t

[LiberalFighter]

19. He is not a reporter

He is a teleprompter reader of news.

[glinda]

40. That is absolutely correct.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

20. I couldn't take this anymore...

[YOHABLO]

22. But He's Got To Be Invited To All Those Cocktail Parties ..

[WCGreen]

25. No body pays attention to these guys except for a small circle of friends..

There are so many other ways to get information that hardly anyone looks to some jack ass behind a desk to give them the news. On his best days, Gregory gets less than 10 million eyeballs, that's a little bit over 3% of the total population watching his show.

[Overseas]

28. That's a comforting thought.

[Overseas]

27. Yes he is. And yes he should go on over to Faux.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

32. Doing a Fox audition...nt

[GeorgeGist]

33. The conservative Media Research Center named him 'Best White House Correspondent'

for his coverage of Bush's first 100 days.

He has no degree in Journalism. Like most talking heads.

[jsr]

43. That's all you need to know

He's a certified RW lapdog.

[Warren Stupidity]

34. In other news: farts stink.

But seriously if you were paid what Gregory gets paid, you probably say whatever they wanted you to say too, and if you hesitated they would bring out the rather and olbermann card deck for you to contemplate.

[tanyev]

41. Good dancer, though. Just ask Karl Rove.

[ananda]

42. And in other news..

.. the pope turns out to be a Catholic
anti woman nazi who protects pedophiles..

[malaise]

44. David Gregory is an effin'

HACK

[Canuckistanian]

45. He's a spokesman for the GOP

He USED to be a reporter back in the dim mists of time - the early Bush presidency.

Now, he's sold out to the monied interests and his bias is shockingly transparent.

[_ed_]

46. He's the same as the rest of NBC "news"

Corporate whores masquerading as reporters. NBC News: just the facts that GE and now Comcast want you to hear. Anyone who thinks NBC or MSNBC is liberal will have to convince me that GE and Comcast are "liberal" corporations.

All cable "news" is corporate propaganda.
