Report: 'Meet The Press' May Get Axed
by Tony Lee 23 Dec 2013
NBC's flagship Sunday
show, Meet The Press, has seen its
ratings go bust as it continually props up members of the permanent political
class in Washington, D.C.'s "Boomtown." Now the show
may get axed from NBC News's lineup.
According to the New York Post,
new NBC News president Deborah Turness "has been trying to figure out the
future for David Gregory’s 'Meet the Press.'" She is reportedly
considering "bringing in MSNBC’s
'Morning Joe' team of Joe
Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for
a Sunday show, or blowing up the entire franchise and trying something
completely different."
Meet The Press, the
longest-running television program which had dominated the Sunday show ratings
under the late Tim Russert in the past, now regularly finishes in third place
behind CBS's Face the Nation and ABC's This Week. Gregory has been criticized
for lobbing softballs to Democrats and repeatedly having on guests from the
permanent political class--like Mike Murphy and David Brooks--whose views are
unreflective of a Republican party that is tilting more conservative.
The program has also received
similar criticism from the left for booking the same cast of characters from
the permanent political class who parrot the conventional wisdom in Washington and are not
representative of the modern American left.
The show has seen its ratings hit
a 21-year low. As Breitbart News reported, the nosedive started when Gregory
accused 2012 Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich of racism for
merely stating that the number of Americans who have had to go on food stamps
has increased in President Barack Obama's economy.
