SHUSTER to Mistah KURTZ: "Steve CAPUS/friend o'BROKAW is new boss"

[UTUSN]

And that the oh-so-journalisticaly-pure (hah!1) BROKAW hated KO. Therefore, was (one of) the moving hand(s).


Plus, KURTZ had one of KO's Worst-Persons, David Zurawick, of the Baltimore Sun as a commentator with SHUSTER and Faux-token-wimp Jane HALL. The David dude (I'll look up the name) was a festering p.o.s. and now the authority on whacking at KO?!1

1. David Shuster is back?!

I haven't watched tv this morning since I'm trying to finish and return a library book today. It sounds like I missed a good one. Hoping for the video to surface soon, though.

Thanks for making my day with this news. We knew how Kurtz felt. I'm surprised he had the guts to have DS on as a guest.

2. I'm glad that Shuster has resurfaced.

I forgot how long he was under the non-compete clause from MSNBC. He's a good voice - I hope CNN uses his talents well.

3. SHUSTER guested with Anderson COOPER Friday night & this A.M. with KURTZ

He *did* say that his ex-MSNBC contract, presumably with the no-appearance-on-other-outlets ban, "has EXPIRED." Since he was canned for negotiating with CNN and here he is guesting on CNN & I haven't seen him anywhere else, ...?


He wasn't identified as a CNN-contract staffer.

4. If you get a chance to watch it, do so.

Really good discussion, with Shuster shutting down a lot of the BS.

5. The video should go viral since it's DS and KO related - oh my!

6. anyone have a link to a video yet?

7. I'm sending CNN a congratulatory note for having David on the show.

If David shows he's bringing viewers to the station and note of encouragement can't hurt. I love David, he is so succinct in his talking and lays events out beautifully. If CNN knows he's drawing viewers that's a good thing.
