Good News: Ratings for "Meet the Press" are Low and NBC Is Thinking About Canning David Gregory
Bad News: "Morning Joe" Scarborough and Mika Brezezezzzz Are Pitching Themselves As Replacements

The Good Lord giveth, and then he taketh your breath away.

Fearless NBC News boss Deborah Turness is turning her attention to her troubled Sunday talk show, “Meet the Press” — asking staff to write a mission statement and explain what works and what doesn’t, The Post has learned.

...

With “Meet the Press” slipping in the ratings, WME’s Ari Emanuel has been making a serious pitch for his clients, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, co-hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” to take over, several sources said.

Oh, but they're not the only two possibilities. NBC is really thinking outside the box as far as hosts.

...

Turness could find a cure for the show’s blues by raiding ABC News’ “Good Morning America” host, George Stephanopoulos, whose contract expires in January, some TV insiders said.

...

The network has seen “Meet the Press” rack up some of the worst ratings in decades in recent months, though network insiders claim that both CBS and ABC engage in unfair ratings measures to boost their numbers.
