‘Meet the Press’ Struggles in Ratings

The Washington Post reports on the ratings meltdown of “Meet the Press” and host David Gregory which “has sounded alarm bells inside NBC News.”

“Last year, the network undertook an unusual assessment of the 43-year-old journalist, commissioning a psychological consultant to interview his friends and even his wife. The idea, according to a network spokeswoman, Meghan Pianta, was ‘to get perspective and insight from people who know him best.’ But the research project struck some at NBC as odd, given that Gregory has been employed there for nearly 20 years.”
