An NBC News spokesperson has not responded to a request for comment on the report.

(416 posts)...but seriously....why replace a white male with another white male...If they were SERIOUS they'd give it to Rachel Maddow...but then none of the rethuglicans would dare go on the show....and THAT is the underlying problem...

(20,885 posts)A real host would have to ask real questions like "why do we live in a police state?' and "how come, in a democracy, only rich people get to make decisions?"
Can the corporate media tolerate that?

If Todd challenges McGrump just once what do you suppose will happen? The entire show will change. I might start watching it again. Let me know if this show ever deserves my attention again.

(28,017 posts)However, he is just as much as a toady as Gregory. There are some great local PBS folks in Chicago who would kick ass. The story would be about the issues and the politician, not about themselves. Pity NBC has balls the size of a quark. Otherwise, they would do something unique and daring.

FUBAR man FUBAR.

(50,566 posts)Their agenda is to have a middle-aged Republican white guy in the host seat catapulting rightwing/corporate propaganda. As for the viewers? They can go eff themselves, as far as NBC is concerned.
