Author: georgiads from United States

Meet the Press is the most important show about politics on the air. It is on regular network television so that anyone with a television has access to it, and it airs on Sunday morning when many people are home to view it.

The show is always on top of pressing issues in the news and Russert always brings in great guests from all sides.

No matter what anyone thinks of Russert, he asks EVERYONE the important questions and respectfully allows them to answer (unlike other shows that end up being shouting matches.

This show is a must see for anyone interested in politics.
