Meet the Press Celebrates 50th Anniversary of King's March by Slandering Conservatives

As an avid viewer of Meet the Press, every week I expect to see an unbalanced and unfair panel discussion featuring primarily hard leftist ideologues (e.g. Al Sharpton), pseudo-conservatives (e.g. David Brooks), and doctrinaire liberals posing as objective historians or journalists (e.g Doris Kearns Goodwin) coupled with David Gregory's hopelessly biased interviews, in which left-wing guests are never asked to defend some of their more extreme positions, failures, broken promises, and hateful or untrue statements.

So I wasn't shocked  to see these trends continue during this morning's broadcast. What was particularly disturbing, and what compelled me to write this blog post, was the sheer gall of David Gregory allowing his guests to spew venom with impunity.

When Rep. John Lewis--a former Civil Rights leader and current demagogue--decided that conservatives want to go back to the segregation era, citing the "take back our country" slogan as proof, Gregory said nothing of the libel.

When leftists Sharpton, Goodwin, and Sheryl WuDunn decided that all of our nation's problems are the result of the federal government NOT being sufficiently large and intrusive (!), Gregory saw no need to play devil's advocate and point out that the scope of the federal government has never been larger or that LBJ's War on Poverty, remembered so fondly by his leftist guests, was a miserable failure. At one point, he meekly noted to Democrat Cory Booker that many troubled inner cities are governed by Democrats (actually, they all are, at the local, state and federal levels) but that was the only brief moment of sanity on the program.

I always cringe when I watch Meet the Press precisely because it is so overtly biased, but today's biased show was especially painful to watch, because the tsunami of leftist talking points and the slandering of conservatives as racists, was broadcast under the guise of celebrating the anniversary of a great and seminal moment in American history: MLK's "I have a Dream" speech.
