This stuff cracks me up.    They know why his ratings have plummeted – NBC damn sure knows why.  The problem is – they have to build a 6 inch example file to get Gregory to believe it because it’s constitutionally impossible for him to accept it.    The more severe you allow your progressive ideology to visibly express, the smaller the audience willing to put up with it.  
Since Obama’s reelection David Gregory has gone “all in” with his insufferable Moonbat screeds.
NBC knows this, they have to – it’s ridiculously obvious because it happens all the time.  The pundits hang out in the liberal echo chamber drinking their Kool-Aid addicted selves to a state of gluttony.  At a certain point they forget its a ruse, actually begin to believe the bullshit they’re  selling, and start trying to get bigger prog-slobber party invites.  The Network Moonbats have yet to find a way to write a contract that says when your ideological DNA  gets infected you’re fired.
That’s when the slightly above lo-fo audience roll their eyes and says enough.   Soledad O’Brien, Piers Morgan, Keith Olberman, etcetera….. etcetera…..  etcetera…..
Huffington Post)  A new report from The Washington Post on Monday featured David Gregory discussing the “Meet the Press” ratings slide, and hinted at the kind of pressure the embattled host is facing.
The Post revealed that in 2013, the network hired a psychological consultant to interview Gregory’s wife and friends. “The idea, according to a network spokeswoman, Meghan Pianta, was ‘to get perspective and insight from people who know him best,'” the Post’s Paul Farhi reported. “But the research project struck some at NBC as odd, given that Gregory has been employed there for nearly 20 years.”
The network pushed back against the report in a statement to The Huffington Post Monday. “Last year Meet the Press brought in a brand consultant—not, as reported, a psychological one—to better understand how its anchor connects,” Pianta said. “This is certainly not unusual for any television program, especially one that’s driven so heavily by one person.”
An NBC News spokesperson confirmed to HuffPost’s Michael Calderone that the network commissioned the firm Elastic Strategy for the project. Meanwhile, Farhi told Poynter that he checked the characterization with the network over telephone before publishing.
It’s no secret that the network is concerned about the “Meet the Press” ratings. The NBC News public affairs show once dominated Sunday mornings, but has slid to number three behind CBS News’ “Face the Nation” and ABC News’ “This Week.” The network recently closed its third straight quarter in third place.    (read more)
