What makes this douchebag any different than Bob Schieffer and George Stephanopoulos? I don’t watch any of them.
Two reasons: first he’s sitting in Russerts chair, and Russert was beloved AND died too young.
Second, he’s imploded in a spectacular manner. Taking down the top rated Sunday show with him.
Schieffer runs the traditional bottom of the barrel show. Stephy had the buffer of senior hacks Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts to buffer his turn from direct comparisons to David Brinkley.
I will add that I’m sure Michelle has some personal axe to grind with Gregory. It looks like they shared overlapping work and possibly social space in DC in the early 1990s. When Gregory was aggressively knifing peers to advance his career. Which is fine, since Michelle’s piece proves the truism that everyone you step on as you climb up the ladder will be there to kick you on your way down.
