Gregory is a tool. Why can't Rachel Maddow or Lara Logan get pundit shows like the boys? Aaaaw! Gregory is a tool.

That's all I'm asking. People tell me they want to hear the truth and I give it to them and then my show gets cancelled. See, this is why I had to write this book - so that people would know the liberal agenda is to lie and cheat them of the real information about how this country works. And I can tell this story because I'm not beholden to an ideology. If the liberal media can cancel me, an independent journalist, then they can get rid of ANYONE. It's time to wake up, America, and start doing something about the putrid remnants of our TV news programming. Even if I hadn't tried to tell the truth about the boys on the Duke lacrosse team, all this would have happened eventually anyway. The media hates it when people like me tell the truth. They just want to put more kiss-asses like Jon Stewart on the air. Ugh! Future Tucker Carlson (feigning outrage): Why don’t people want to hear the truth? That’s all I’m asking.

Maybe he can get a more suitable job - at Fox news, perhaps. Now if MSNBC would only get rid of Keith Olberman we would really be in business. I used to be a Keith fan, but lately he strikes me as an emtpy-headed, shock "news" person like the folks at Fox news. He is just coming from the left, but the tone and style of attack are similar.
