I have always loved Meet The Press, but now I am changing my channel. I looked forward to having a cup of coffee and watch the news for the week. I have always been a Democrat, however, I feel everyone has the right to their opinion and the News Stations should deliver the news, not pass on judgment in an unfair manner. Tim Russert was a fine journalist. He was a Democrat, but he delivered news in a fair a respectful way. It discusses me to see how Chuck Todd delivers attacks and an extremely disrespectful way.It is obvious that his assessment was poor before the election. He led everyone to believe Donald Trump would lose. Obviously, he has no insight. Now, he continues his poor assessment. DELIVER THE NEWS!!! Respect America.I have watched Meet The Press for 50 years, but no longer. I have changed the channel for as long as Chuck Todd delivers negative disgusting reviews of America and the president that America voted to represent us.
... View MoreI was awake at 3:45 this morning. Surfed to Meet the press. It still amazes me how so called mature objective adults can react to the Kennedy Mystique. Everyone on the set was giving their obituary of a living individual. More to the point, they were glorifying a murderer, alcoholic, rich, white man who, like all people like him, live by their own rules. I listened to Maureen Dowd insinuate herself and her brothers into the lives of the family. How double minded she sounded when she is supposed to be objectionable about others. Oh Yea! I forgot . The Kennedy's are not "others." After I vomited, I sat down to write a comment about the show. Alright, before he dies, he will have a possible president kissing his ass also. Barack Obama, the Blackest white man in America, has his lips planted on Teddy's backside. So much for a "change" and not being beholding to anybody. I am a liberal Democrat, who will never vote for a Kennendy or a Barack Obama. Mr. Russert, you probably will not read this email. Your lips also are pointed to a site south of Kennedy's bad back. Embarrassed for a bunch of "Toadies."
... View MoreMeet the Press is one of my favorite Sunday shows including ABC's This Week, Meet The Press is always no 1 why? Because sometimes my favorite panelist including Judy Woodruff, Kate O'Beirne, Mary Matalin and some others I remember the week of my 20th birthday last year another favorite panelist that was on Meet the Press three times (The Supreme court ones) is NPR's Nina Totenberg, I do like Tim Russert I should his book Big Russ and me. I remember the Meet the Press minute when Paul Duke died. It was very sad when he passed.If is Sunday is Meet The Press is the tag for Sunday's no 1 show in America and on NBC.Stephanie
... View MoreMeet the Press is a must-see for anyone concerned with current events, if for no other reason than that it's a must-show for the participants in those events. It's a show with a clear liberal bias, but compared to most of today's news programs I would call it pretty even-handed.Russert is a skilled interviewer, able to pose a question and then shut his mouth for however long it takes the guest to respond fully, but he has a tendency to become overexcited about his hypothetical constructs, as in "If you knew then what you know now, would you still do what you did?" It's hard to imagine any sane, self-respecting person trying to answer a question like that, but somehow they all take a stab at it. (In fairness to the guests, Russert is so over-enthusiastic with these that he rarely takes "I really don't know," as an answer to such questions.In my opinion the greatest strength of the show is the way it confronts guests with their own press and allows them to respond to it. Russert is well-known for describing a video clip of the guest that's about to be played, and then saying briskly "Let's watch!"
