"Help me!"

There's a guy named Jeff Zucker, who, started out at NBC running the "Today Show".
He soon rose to head up NBC's entire "Entertainment Division" & if I understand what [recently] happened correctly?
The powers that be [read: General Electric] at NBC have now consolidated NBC, CNBC, & MSNBC's News Divisions & put all 3 under this Jeff Zucker guy s control.

Now do a Google on Jeff Zucker & read about "who" the man is & what he represents.
There's been much written on the guy & his meteoric rise up the corporate ladder at NBC, OK?

After you've done so, you tell me what this [huge] move really means for NBC's (now single) "News Division" & the fact its been handed to NBC's "Golden Boy" who's heading up their entire "Entertainment Division."

Of specific interest to me personally, is how the impact of Zucker's "presence" in the "News Division" will have on the *look* of "NBC News".
Will NBC News start looking more like "entertainment" visa vi "tabloid news"?

Feel free to speculate on what the corporate big whig motive(s) behind this rather large move might've been, beyond the more obvious reasons as stated above, in my previous post.

I ask you to speculate for a reason; because, NBC will never tell the truth why they did what they have.

...anymore than NBC ever tells the truth in the newscasts.
