I admit that I have been watching Meet the Press since I was a little boy and my father was alive. It wasn't always "Must See TV" and I learned early that guests were on because they were important and the (chiefly) Washington reporters were from newspapers and the focus was always on tough questions that led to real answers about how a bill gets passed, how a war is avoided, what's next in energy exploration, the next manned moon venture. There was a clear national interest and what was not lost on viewers is that reporters and guests were on different sides of the desk - but they were all on the same side.
