NBC has unveiled David Gregory as the new host of Meet the Press, ending a process begun by the untimely death of Tim Russert. Gregory was the tough White House correspondent for NBC News, and tangled with President Bush and the White House Press Secretary often. From MSNBC:
“I’m honored and deeply humbled as I take on this role,” said Gregory. “I’m filled with a great sense of purpose as I join a superb team to cover Washington and the world from a treasured platform in our country. Above all, I want to make Tim proud.”
And Mike Allen over at Politico is reporting that Hardball host Chris Matthews is preparing to sign another contract with NBC to remain as the host of Hardball. Matthews had been toying with the idea of challenging PA Senator Arlen Specter, but that idea is gone with the new contract. I am very happy to see that Matthews will be covering the presidency of Barack Obama. It sends a shiver up my leg!

Oh, Mathews, how are we going to miss you when you won’t go away.

Your Honor,
I do watch Chris Matthews every night of the week so that I can keep up with the “real and unbiased” happenings of the day. He has the very best guests of the national scene and the most current information available.
It was just great watching him through the primary. He backed Barack from the start, as did I. The man is absolutely brilliant and totally unafraid of anything or anyone! If you want the real facts as seen through the eyes of a commentator who has common sense, then just watch Chris Matthews on MSNBC at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. weekdays.
