(24,411 posts)I wonder what in the hell he's done that the corporatists and the Republicans have on him--because Gregory has done a complete about face with regard to his reporting, his integrity and his politics.
Maybe people don't remember, but during George W Bush's initial years as President--Gregory was a thorn in the administration's side. He still had his integrity. He was still a journalist. He asked the tough questions. He sat in the front row and did his job. He challenged the President and pissed off the Bush Administration.
Gregory asked basic questions about the legitimacy of the Iraq war--questions that barely anyone else was asking. Most of the media was helping the neocons go to war, without challenging them. Gregory asked the tough questions.
Then, something happened. I have no idea what it was. We all know how seriously Karl Rove and the rest of them took any possible threat to their grand PNAC/neocon plan--of getting their foot in the Middle East and beginning their destructive nightmare. Look at what they did to Valerie Plame.
I have no idea what happened, I just know that he sold out. Completely. He's not a journalist. He is truly pathetic.
