Why Does NBC's David Gregory Only Follow Republicans On Twitter?
I'm guessing that most of you have seen at least some clips by now of the hatchet job that NBC "Meet the Press" moderator David Gregory did on Michele Bachmann by now - I ask the question...didn't it seem to you that Gregory was visibly UPSET when he was asking those questions? Did he not seem, perhaps, a little too passionate about those social issues he was bringing up?
Anyway, I decided to check into David Gregory a little bit. And I find it quite odd that in the 221 people that David Gregory "follows" on Twitter, there isn't a single Democrat member of Congress on that list. I find it even odder that Mr. Gregory seems to follow a number of Republicans. In fact, the only two Twitter accounts associated with the Democrat party that Gregory follows are:
* Barack Obama
* Jerry Brown
Now, the Barack Obama twitter he follows is just the campaign one and I figure, since Gregory is a California native, he has an interest in Brown being Governor there.
But let's look at who he follows on the Republican side:
* John Boehner
* Eric Cantor
* John McCain
* John Ensign
* Paul Ryan
* Mike Huckabee
Don't you find it odd that a moderator of one of the biggest Sunday morning shows doesn't follow the Majority leader of the Senate or the minority leader of the House? Don't you find it odd that Gregory wouldn't follow such people as Barney Frank, John Kerry, Chuck Schumer and James Clyburn.
I also wonder about the fact that there are no minorities in the Twitter list of Gregory - is it possible that David Gregory only follows white people? :)
p.s. since David Gregory took up such a flag for the Gay and Lesbian community today on his blindside interview of Michele Bachmann, it's interesting that the only homosexual on Gregory's twitter list is Rachel Maddow (and she's a co-worker).

Gregory went after Bachmann for her anti-gay remarks because he is a Republican shill. The Party wants to knock her out as a serious contender.
