It’s so interesting that the first host of a show watched predominantly by men was a woman. And so far she is the only female to host the show.

I thought I was a real TV news buff but I had no idea Tim Russert created the catchphrase!

I thoroughly enjoyed ‘watching’ the 02/17/2019 episode of
Meet the Press, it lacked any of the annoying, topic corralling, current subject,
on-screen banners, don’t know if this is something new, I can’t tell, in the
past, I would normally just listen in avoidance of the banners, but thankfully,
not any more…and special thanks to this programs producers for this nice clean
televison viewing screen…announcing and predicting the end of screen clutter
that we have been experiencing for years…

Oops, I should have waited till the end of the broadcast…

I miss the Meet the Press when it was pure information and journalism. I have been disappointed in all the programs with Chuck Todd. 💁

Modern MTP - catastrophe, you got the C Word right. Spivak was GREATLY respected by business leaders, nations’ elected representatives, and royalty. Maybe Elon will bring respect back to journalism?

It's a Male panel? Hey, imagine if it was an ALL FEMALE panel. Sheesh- the program would be four hours long....
