I stopped watching Meet the Press when Tim Russert passed away and continued to watch This Week as I had for several years. I have now returned to watching Meet the Press with David Gregory and am quite enjoying it. As per my previous posts in here, I am utterly disgusted with the turn this show ("This Week") has taken since the new permanent host came on board. I haven't watched an episode of This Week since the town hall meeting held to highlight our supposed hatred for Islam was aired, and didn't even make it through the entire show. That show was the last straw for me.  I've also stated in previous posts that I have a dear friend that is Muslim and I don't need a lecture by Christianne and her guests as to how horrible I am for having a problem with Islamic Terrorists. Any intelligent human being can distinguish the difference between a Terrorist who is Muslim and a true Muslim-American and I didn't appreciate a town hall on the subject taking over the time slot that I once enjoyed watching when it was truly This Week. For those who might wonder why I even bother to post another entry in here when I'm not watching, my answer to them is that I'm just sad that the show I use to enjoy is now dead to me. Too bad. It was a great ride. Based on the minimal activity on this message board I'm guessing few people even care about this show anymore and have just chosen to make better use of an hour of their life than to watch it.

Yep.  The show is trash.  I long for the days of George and Jake.  Truly this has became the Cause based show driven by the host.  Today.  We praise the efforts of Turner, Gates and Buffett.  Have we forgotten that the Turner aol--time warner deal--cost thoursands of jobs and padded the pockets of a very few?  I am to be concerned when ted Turner's net worth went from 10 Billion to 2 Billion?  The Gates' want to drive more to college when college grads can not find jobs?  I volunteer in the class room at The Ohio State University and students-- in Economics-- are struggllng to get jobs--let alone at a wage levels that justifies the financial investment.  I read last week that the long time producer of this show is leaving sighting family needs.  But clearly he is no longer in charge.   Now next week still another special program on don' ask don' tell. As George Will would say "WHY"--it needs to be repealed.  Everyone knows that but the host has to have her say.  Saddens me that this program has headed this direction.  i will tune in only to see in memoriam--until this gets dumped.
