jtdncdkWeakIt’s sad, but after 40 years I have stopped watching/listening to Meet The Press because Kristen Welker is such a weak and sniveling moderator and interviewer. Please bring back Chuck!

jccjnTerribleThis “news” is so biased and opinionated. It’s not my style. Give me the news. Keep opinions out of it.
-
Young038Kristin please stop interruptingI can’t take it when someone is talking and Kristin keeps saying “senator. Senator.” Or, “Governor, Governor”. Let them speak then say your piece.

LJ 😻🦋😻DisappointedWhy will the media not correct trump/vance saying all the policies that happened the last 3 years are Kamala’s? She was the vice president not the president so the policies were Biden’s not hers.

541red09/08/24What is this? Is this same panel from The View?
-
dalanfordInconsistent posts continueHmmmmm. Another day without the MTP podcast..
-
VRM TreyNot hiding the biasWhy does Kristen only post issue fact check republicans? She does it on the panel too, she only challenges conservative/Republican panel members.
-
APinewoodPush back and correctionIn the MTP of August 25, 2024, I appreciated that Kristen Welker pushed back against Sen. V.ance and that corrected his exaggerations and misinformation. Too many politicians use MTP to distort the record.

jm17230$$$Fake newsListening to them grill people on the right then give the left softballs is like nails on a chalk board FAKENEWS

Cdn MooseThe way it used to beWay back in the day, Tim Russert held people accountable to the words they said themselves and either they had to recount clarify or say they were wrong. It was as best a political now with Chuck Todd and probably a little bit before him but mostly with Chuck Todd, it’s turned into a show where they primarily have Democrats and agnostic rhinos speaking and nobody from a balance point of view and it really doesn’t matter. It shouldn’t be a boxing match. It should be an he moderator and the interviewed.

LL911qwertyNo longer releasing the actual SUNDAY show on podcast?I have been listening to the podcast replay of the Sunday show for 7 years but it seems starting at end of July 2024, the Sunday program audio replay is no longer available here? Only the daily podcast. How sad. Please bring back the Sunday replay.
-
StephiejoeyNo new episodes?Why would I listen to news that is 2 DAYS OLD? Seriously? You are no longer playing new Sunday episodes because you want me to pay for Peacock? Ridiculous.

ChefkowboyMeet the Prass!That’s how Welker pronounces the title of her show. Most annoying. This isn’t a show about what is news, this is a show about what ifs. Tireless probing guest’s guesses about what is going to happen rather than sticking to what has happened. The hosts and reporters rely too heavily on polls that are not reliable or even relevant so far out from the election. Really disappointed with how the Meet The Press brand has gone so tabloid. And it’s Press not Prass Welker!!

Disappointed in Grove CityFrustratedWhen I started watching MTP, Tim Russert was host. I still don’t know his personal political leanings! Chuck Todd grew into his position once taking over. Today I listened to Kristen. I’m familiar with her as a guest on Chuck’s MTP, and I like her. I am frustrated that this show, and other news I’ve seen recently, is so focused on Biden’s debate gaffe. There has been no mention of the fact that, while more energetic, the other guy stood up there and lied the same lies he’s been spewing for years. No mention of the existential threat he poses to democracy. Project 2025. His UI status to Russia. The numerous convictions, including felonies, sexual assault-potentially with a minor. This guy cannot legally vote in many states, yet is being considered for the highest post in America. In no way is the other guy suitable for office, he broke many of our long standing traditions to the point of inciting insurrection. I feel that the media gave him too much free publicity in 2015. Now they are ignoring his many flaws, pointing out flaws in the other guy, possibly scaring people from voting for either. This is a scary time in America. I feel the media is required to tell the truth of the matter: objective, provable truth. Given that, the rest of us can make up our minds.

Stuwright99What a devolutionIt is really sad how far and how fast this previously wonderful show and overall brand has fallen. Without a doubt, it’s primarily due to the departure of Chuck Todd, who demanded and drove higher standards of journalism. Kristen is wonderful in many ways, but she has no business leading a show like this. Too many of the interviews have turned into gotcha sessions and are unnecessarily confrontational and needlessly dramatic. Meet The Press used to really stand out in the crop of Sunday morning shows, but no longer. They need to completely reassess things at NBC and reinstitute the high standards that used to drive the program. And having Kristi Noem on today (6/23/2024)? Are you serious? To what end? Get some gravitas. Rethink your panels too while you’re at it. The direction of the show is just trending more and more toward being lightweight and not adding anything to the political discourse in our country.

bjohns383Hate MongersI stopped listening when, in the latest episode (6/10), the host calls the slaughter of almost 250 Palestinians “great news”
-
AussieYankSpare us from political analysis and sensationalismThis would be a much better program without the endless political analysis and statistics. Instead use the time for quality and depth of important issues. And boot off anyone that is nasty and just spewing talking points. Leave the tabloid for Rupert Murdoch and his band to toxic talking heads! And with each new host, the show becomes more and more like Jerry Springer. I wonder when people will just start throwing chairs at each other. This used to be a serious program. Not anymore.

ABN0455WOW...Really ? Just Really...what a moron !! Kristen !! Really ?? JOKE !!!! Period !!!!!

Civil rights supportersHamasLove Kristen! I believe she does ask the toughest questions holding their feet to the fire. Dumb question: What were the Palestinian people doing when Hamas was building these massive tunnels right underneath them? Did they feel safe then?
-
TobycstephensDisappointed FanI’ve been a little disappointed in mtp lately. It seems like the corporate masters have made Kristen have made this show more sensational than journalistic.

Lenmier“If it’s any day of the week… it’s Meet the Press” :(Meet the Press seemed more exceptional when it was only on on Sundays. The daily Meet the Press: Now format seems to hamper the power of the Sunday only production. I like Kirsten Welker, she resists guests talking over her, which is a pet peeve of mine. Another big plus; she points out when an interviewee is sidestepping a probing question and asks again. That’s what I come to see! (Tim Russert must be smiling down). Hopefully, the daily format is a phase, and will go the way of the Dinos (without the massive asteroid hitting the planet of course). Until then, it would be acceptable if the Meet the Press and the Meet the Press: Now podcasts were separated so listeners could download one or the other or both at their preference.

Danteen 41Bunch of Cry BabiesLiberals unable to withstand an opposing view. You must agree totally with them or you are cancelled. I will not be listening or watching any NBC news until they can grow up and be able to present and tolerate a conservative viewpoint.

Redwoods caliGoodbye Meet The PressI used to get excited every Sunday for Meet the Press the way a fan can’t wait to watch their favorite team or band. Tim Russert’s curiosity was contagious and diversity of thought was celebrated. In those days Jim Carvel and Mary Madeline modeled the passion of differing options didn’t split marriages or friendships. Now meet the press is a constant stream of narrow view points wrapped in the artificial emotion of the hero’s journey. Curiosity is replaced with villianism. Honor replaced with spit. I cried real tears at the sudden announcement of Tim Russet’s death. I displayed his picture for years afterwards on my desk. Little did I know so much more would die that day than one great man. Goodbye Meet the Press. When you decided to abandon all diversity and curiosity of options today by firing a corespondent you disagreed with you destroyed the last hope I had you were truly going to risk - become curious again and allow divergent though. I will never listen or watch this show again.

YeedaveWowSo I lean more to the right but I respected these left wing networks and I get my news from both sides until now! I didn’t really care when they hired Ronna but the fact that they fired her so abruptly and, the reaction to her hiring is so gross to me. I can’t listen to this podcast anymore.
-
Journalistic integrity mattersRonna McDaniel hired by NBCReally? Shame on you

Neplusultra123It’s getting betterI really wasn’t a fan of Kristen after her interview with Donald Trump. However, I believe she’s gotten stronger in the role. She asks hard questions and won’t let her guests sidestep the questions with clever word play. This may not be appreciated by many listeners, but I want someone who isn’t afraid to get to the truth of the question being asked and get the guest on record. There are many instances where politicians dominate interviews and talk over the interviewer as if they are plugging a product or a new tv show. We’ve become to accustomed to that IMO. The job of a journalist is to get to the truth and hold the politician accountable. Why? Because we elected them and they need to be accountable to the people. I’m not giving a 5 star rating because I still think she’s has done work to do. And by the way, props to Chuck for calling out NBC for their hire of the ex RNC chair.

hgfrrtghiiigfggyjbdaaqqwdMost credible of the Sunday morning programsKristen Welker is doing a first class job each and every week in this broadcast. Tim Russert, the Gold Standard of newsmaker interviewers, was left of center, but respected by conservatives and liberals alike because he respected them. Welker is exactly what America needs from its journalists; a moderator of our centuries long conversation rather than part of the story. Tim Russert would be proud.

LilRedheadedGirl7Kristen - please don’t speak SO SLOWLYKristen is tough to listen to because she speaks so incredibly slowly. It makes her painful to listen to. I listen to Kost podcasts at 1.25 speed. But this one, I have to listen at 2.0. Does the show cut out a ton of material to accommodate Kristen’s speech?! It’s tough to listen to her.
-
SpewesMissing ChuckShe asks questions that don’t get answered or have already been answered over and over. I’ve been listening to this show my whole life but the show is suffering enormously right now.
-
E.J. WMTP ReviewKristen is a great fair minded host. I enjoy both her daily show as well as the regular Sunday show. Most of the negative reviews seem to just be bitter people who want MSNBC or Fox News type coverage and not a real journalistic program where everyone is asked hard questions. Keep up the good work Kristen!

😉💙🙃1 March 2023Nicki Haley is merely trying to psych Trump out…
-
rGrubsGood ByeVery long time fan of this legendary tv show but I no longer can stomach the direction. It is a very professional news program that covers topics important to legacy media but the whining tone and incessant yet not always accurate pushback on conservative points while green lighting progressive positions is no longer tolerable. I’ve enjoyed Kristen’s coverage previously but this role is not suited to her or this historic program. I’ll have to stick to Face the Nation and Firing Line. Thank you for the many years of information. I will miss you.
-
misty3303UghUse to enjoy this show and really liked Kristen in her previous roles. Unfortunately she is a much better reporter (and debate moderator) than an interviewer. Her habit of asking the same question repeatedly to get to the answer she’s looking for is annoying and disrespectful of the person being interviewed, and prevents the audience from hearing the interviewee’s point of view. Her final line closing every interview, “we really appreciate it”, is sounding more and more hollow after hearing it over and over. Meet the Press won’t be the longest running show at this rate.
-
Not a fan of kwLove the show not KWPlease stop interrupting and asking the same question over and over. Let the guest finish their sentences!
-
/:;()&@$(:-QuestionsAsk once, maybe twice, but asking the same question over and over again is insulting to…me, your listener.
-
R.I Girl DeeDisappointed in Chuck todayI love Chuck but I wish he would let her finish her answer it does get annoying. I noticed he has been doing that a lot lately Dee
-
dpfriedmanHard to listen.Listening to K Welker is like nails on a chalkboard to me. I prefer any other host.
-
CritimeKristen’s loud voice is annoyingWhy does Kristen feel the need to constantly yell - putting the exact same emphasis on every single syllable in every word in every sentence? It’s annoying.
-
KacchicPainfulThis show is just painful since KW took over. I wish that Peter Alexander would have took over the show. KW is I’m sure a lovely person, just not a great host or interviewer. I just end up feeling uncomfortable when she is questioning people.
-
La PianaChuck, get your hands off the steering wheel.KW, stop is trying to be exactly like Chuck. If you want to imitate someone, imitate Tim Russert. And KW, don’t interrupt your guests when they are speaking. It shows disrespect for them and your audience. Thank you for not jiggling your legs like Chuck. It was very annoying and juvenile. Also, why are you holding an unnecessary piece of paper when you are standing. It sends a clear signal that you are nervous, insecure, and not sure how to manage it. If you are running short on time, don’t ask unnecessary or pointless questions. Focus on time management, not “let’s jam as many questions into a set amount of time as possible.”
-
SmurphyPAMeet the press has crashed and burnedMeet the Press is just terrible ever since Russert died. Not sure how it’s still on the air.
-
D_ChicagoMeet the Amateurs50 minutes of opinion and zero serious debate or objectivity. NBC News is a political frat house and nothing more. Tim Russert is rolling in his grave.
-
Sir_RealistWaste of TimeKristen Welker was a good reporter. She is a lousy show host. Andrea Mitchell should retire. There is too much repetition and overlap by the various news casters called upon to report.
-
mettaminxUmmmm noHeaven help us, Ms. Welker is not an effective interviewer when it calls for asking the hard questions - she lets a tough guest run over her faster than a jackrabbit while she’s still gathering up her interview notes for the show. This is NOT the person for this moment - we need someone nimble who can pivot to make sure the guest doesn’t run the interview, getting free air time to take their political shots at the expense of the public. I’m losing brain cells listening.
-
Pandora#43008Kristen WelkerI LOVE Kristen Welker at the helm of this show! I am a loyal Podcast listener to this show and Kristen is fearless asking tough questions of both Republicans & Democrats in a way Chuck Todd couldn’t break “Bro-Code”. I am a 53 year old Political Junkie and I am enjoying the show more than ever!! You Go Girl!!
