Meet the Press

Over the years this TV news program has became a must watch for millions on Sundays almost like a ritual, "Meet the Press" remains one of the best and most updated and informative news programs in the business! Always the one hour program is done in a debate style type which both guests discuss the same issues. The issues discussed are the most up to date like the Iraq war, terrorism, the economy, justice and court issues, immigration, and political elections. And the viewer gets to hear from both sides of the spectrum as views from the democrats and republicans are both represented. Many times a panel of journalists from top magazines and newspapers around the country join to give their thought and opinions. I must say the program is hosted beautifully by Time Russert who's a veteran of news and politics who always asks the politicians the tough questions, he's so straight forward and does his job with eagerness, and determination and seems happy and Tim is just a great interviewer. Overall this program always stays on top and up to date every week of the most hot button issues and political topics and it asks the tough questions and the opinions giving are good with interviews done from a good host. So if it's Sunday and it's NBC then make it an American ritual like millions and watch "Meet the Press"

I have noticed those who accuse the host, Tim Russert of being some kind of liberal. While he may have worked for democrats in the past, he is no more liberal than chris matthews. i watched him skewer and interrupt Ted Kennedy last week, as he does on a regular basis to anyone left of Dick Cheney. Remember his hostile questioning of Mrs. Clinton during a debate for NY senate. NBC is trying to show they do not have a liberal bias by employing him. it's time they some actual liberals on the shows panel to stand up to him. the best person on his panel is Robin Wright of the Los Angeles Times. i always look foward to her insight on foreign affaire, especially the middle east. as a whole i think it's sad that democratic politicians are forced to appear on this program.

Today is my last day of watching Meet The Press, this guy doesn't listen. He argued about what wasn't in the bill with his guest after saying that no one knows what's in the bill. He's on a power trip. I would tape this show every Sunday, No More, I'm turning him off, I'm Done!

This show went south with C Todd as an awful, inept replacement for Tim Russert. Used to be a Sunday ritual my Dad and I watched and when I moved out we would still compare notes. Now? It's ratings reflect what it's worth: nobody's time.

Love MTP and Chuck Todd is great EXCEPT he needs to stop lowering his voice at the end of some sentences. When his voice decreases to almost a whisper at the end of a sentence, it becomes necessary to watch with close caption in order to know what he actually says.
