CNN’s
Brian Stelter reports NBC named Chuck Todd the new host of "Meet the
Press" on Thursday afternoon, beginning a revamp by network news managers
who say they want the iconic program to be the "beating heart of
politics."
The announcement confirmed
widespread speculation that David Gregory, the moderator of the Sunday morning
public affairs program for the past six years, would be replaced by Todd, the
NBC News political director.
Not only is Gregory leaving
"Meet the Press," he is also leaving the network. His next career
move is not yet known.
The way NBC is treating David Gregory is horrible, disrespectful, and incredibly appropriate.

@iowahawkblog Gregory's record of achievement far outpaces most Howdy Doody look-a-likes.

I leave NBC as I came - humbled and grateful. I love journalism and serving as moderator of MTP was the highest honor there is . (1 of 2)
