Tim Russert’s son Luke to be a regular face on ‘Meet The Press’
NBC is bringing in Luke Russert, son of the late beloved “Meet the Press” host Tim Russert, as a regular panelist on the Sunday morning show in a bid to turn around its catastrophic ratings slide, Page Six has exclusively learned.
Also joining new moderator Chuck Todd’s team will be former Republican congressman and “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough, who sources say “is taking on a larger role within NBC News as a senior political analyst and would be one of the regular Sunday panelists.”
We’re told the move is part of a plan to bring a right-leaning voice to the program to appeal to viewers turned off by the show’s famously left-leaning former hosts including the ousted David Gregory.
The source added, “Chuck Todd is busily assembling the team of on-air talent that will join him on the new ‘Meet the Press.’ Joe will be a regular alongside Luke Russert, whose father famously moderated the show for 16-plus years.”

I just re-read this: "We’re told the move is part of a plan to bring a right-leaning voice to the program to appeal to viewers turned off by the show’s famously left-leaning former hosts including the ousted David Gregory."
Well, I knew the Post was trash, but no logical person would ever believe that!
I am surely not reading this right. 
you. 
So maybe they'll throw in Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian.
He looks like he's having a very uncomfortable bowel movement. Does anyone know anything about Page Six? It looks like a gossipy news kinda place.
?
On Edit: Ah, it's a part of the NYPost.
let's tell everyone David Gregory was Left-wing leaning so that will make all these rWankers go down easier.. We've got a Winner here! 
some of his friends to drop by..
"Turned OFF"?! Yeah, WE WERE Turned Off but not because he was Left Leaning .. you nincomPOOPS!
Watch and see how many get Turned Off by what they're offering up now.

Does anyone think chucky will be any less lazy on mtp?
for gopropaganda big lie machine. Lazy and I'll give you "corrupt".
They're taking a bad thing and making it worse. Whoever is calling the shots at NBC is living in an alternate universe, like in an insane asylum.
Question is, will we no longer have to see those three (Todd, Russert and Scarface) on MSNBC? I want to hear the rest of this story.
"Luke the Lesser" will one day be the moderator of MTP. NBC wants that Russert name on their program again. Worst thing that could happen is they push him along too fast.
He needs a LOT more seasoning and experience (and intelligence) before hosting the show himself, unless he wants to fall on his face like Gregory did and like Todd will.
Todd is bad enough, but Scarborough and Lukie too? blech!
I wonder who they'll get for their token lefty?
More tax cuts and wars on the way!
anymore if the tv is on and I'm the only one in the house it will be on the science channel. Except when there's a football game on. 
LOL at the Chuck and Luke read RW talking points that were handed to them by Dick Armey and Karl Rove verbatim and interview John McCain and Lindsey Graham show!
John McCain says he holds the record for 'Meet the Press' appearances
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2014/aug/27/john-mccain/john-mccain-says-he-holds-record-meet-press-appear/
Right now McCain & Lindsey's talking point is that Obama doesn't know what to do about ISIS
but they skip the fact ISIS wouldn't be around if it wasn't for w & Cheney's unneeded and illegal
war in Iraq.
he is just horrible.
has it about right. Got this off the "comments" section of Crooks & Liars.

Press the Meat....you weren't really all that. Chunk Toad, er, Schmuck Todd only helped your demise along. I long for the days of Walter Cronkite, nay, Dan Rather, or even Peter Jennings. Gone are the days of truly fair and unbiased news reporting. Ronnie of Ray Gun fucked us with the swipe of His Holy and Most Right Wing Pen, by ending the Fairness Doctrine. Then, Bubba Clinton (at the behest of Nawtie Newt Getrich Gingrich) deregulated communications even further in The Year of the Contract on America, 1996. And finally, with Shitizens United to Kill Our Middle Class handed down by Sammy The Fish, Uncle Tom Clarence, and Fat Tony, we see that the highest bidder buys his influence with you and for only $19.95, gets one US (eless) Senator. My oh my....times are a changin'.
