If NBC decides to hive David Gregory the Meet the Press gig after the election, all their leaders should be fired. I just watched him interview Rudy Giuliani, and his interview skills were pathetic. Giuliani was able to recite all his bullshit talking points attacking Obama, and not once did Gregory challenge Giuliani’s statements. He had some tough questions prepared regarding McCain’s flip on taxes, but he was totally incapable of challenging statements from Giuliani that were completely untrue.
Regardless of whether the guest is an Obama or McCain supporter, the interviewer should never let them get away with making false claims about the other side. Giuliani claimed that Obama had ruled out nuclear power (false) and that Obama was not being specific on his energy proposals (total BS).
Gregory just sat there and then moved on to the next question. He had his own list of questions for the interview, and all he cared about was getting through his own checklist. What a lame performance.
