1. Too bad
MSNBC couldn't give him his *own* show.

4. Absolutely not!
I don't want Gregory or other reporters who really report to get their own show. I want them out there digging up the dirt. I want them to do what they do best.

7. I agree. I would add though I want real reporters to stop allowing
themselves to be used by so called news talk shows that are only opinion fests and have little to do with real news. They are sitting themselves up to be compared with Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'liely who are loving the fact that people think they are real journalists.

2. He certainly reminded me of a "real reporter" today!
I hope he doesn't back off, either. He did a great job.

He goes back and forth. I think he is part of the creme brullee reporter club in DC but I have a feeling they see the writing on the wall about Rover, and they would like to see him gone. They must be tired of his threats.

12. He's been doing this awhile...he's no Helen Thomas, but
the guy knows what's going on, and he's not afraid to rock the boat.

11. i remember watching him early-on...
he seemed to be getting his 'sea legs' & all that, asking good questions, but he imo has stepped on out & become bright at what he does, i hope to see him around for some time :thumbsup:
