Reply #18: Rachel Maddow should be named the new host of "Meet the Press." [View All]

If I were running NBC News, it'd be announced TODAY. And somehow I'd have (hopefully) talked her into keeping her M-F show, too. And David Gregory can go back to general assignment reporting, or be sent overseas or somewhere else, where he can't fawn over the GOP anymore.

She needs to be on AS PROMINENTLY AND AS BROADLY AS POSSIBLE, and featured on NBC-proper, the big leagues and the bigtime, not kept just on their shadow network with its poor cable penetration.

She was WUNNNNNNNNderful last night!!! Someone who actually held one of these assholes' feet to the fire, and wouldn't let them squirm out of it, but kept going back and probing, rather than - "okay, thank you for your statement there! Moving on..." She DIDN'T move on. She KEPT on. You don't just let the talking point be spewed and figure - "okay! I've done my journalistic duty! They had their say so it's covered! And now for an eye on Hollywood..."
