As Media Matters' Joe Strupp noted, Politico's Patrick Gavin brings us a preview of the fancy new high-definition set for NBC's Meet the Press with a behind the scenes video featuring host David Gregory.

For those of you wondering, Gregory did not announce a change of heart when it comes to fact-checking Meet the Press.

I'm guessing he could have paid for at least a year's worth of independent fact-checking with just a fraction of the new set's budget.
