Anyone thinking of Dan Abrams?
Law Degree, Political Science degree, son of a Constitutional attorney.
I doubt that a replacement will be taken from MSNBC and they will take someone from the msm network or print media, but Dan Abrams is smart, pretty centrist, fair and prepared.

Who cares who hosts Meet the Press at this point? It ceased being a show where the media questioned our political leaders, and instead became the place for politicians to spread their orchestrated lies and propaganda. The show went from challenging those in power to enabling those in power to spread propaganda and lie to the country.

Brian Williams = Brit Hume wannabee.

News value to him is extended coverage of Tiger Woods’ knee. Nothing about Iraq. Mention in passing the floods along the Mississippi. And then, deifying Tim Russert (AKA Dick Cheney’s sock puppet) with more coverage than even JFK’s death got.

Do people really watch this stuff?

Let’s hope Brian grows a spine soon.

Let’s also hope he leaves behind the dramatic ‘big story’ attitude.

Richard Simmons and Don King worked out so well for FOX, MTP should hire them.

These shows help fulfill the obligations of the networks to provide a public service to the community.

ah hahahaha! aahhh… how quaint…

the wiki already has this ‘brian williams’ story there,

Revolving hosts is OK with me.
.
How about a panel of “press” (3 or 4) or would it feel too much like they’re ganging up on them?

But with Lara Logan. The ratings would skyrocket. Not sure what kind of show it would be, but I’d watch!

If Brian Williams is hosting this Sunday, out of respect for Russert, NBC should rebrand the show as SOFTBALL.

Is this the same Brian Williams who finds Peggy Noonan’s babbling so inciteful? Yippie.
