If GE ever ran it for profit they would be getting pink slips.

I would pay good money to see their chairs pulled out from under them. And the hits just keep on coming.

Rearranging the deck chairs again?

Why not toss the anchor overboard and at least keep the boat from going adrift?

I sent the following email to Steve Capus, President of NBC News:

“Mr Capus, I'm going to assume that this petulant little whine of yours quoted in an LA Times story is correct:

“I really do take exception to it,” NBC News President Steve Capus said. “These terms get thrown around in an awfully cavalier way, and they're incredibly damaging. We're in the business where words matter, and those are awfully, awfully strong accusations.”

Poor, poor Mr. Capus, it's just too bad if the truth hurts. Either you're completely ignorant of the kind of organization you run, or you're a complete liar.

Neither option is very attractive, but I'm strongly inclined towards the latter.

As the ring-master for Chris “Tingly Leg” Matthews and Keith “I”m sure glad Russert’s out of the way” Olbermann, perhaps you may need to rethink your denial of gross bias when these two are the biggest clowns in your shabby circus.

Or maybe you should save your protestations for Dan Rather; I'm sure he'd sympathize.

One last thing: As you might have guessed, I'm no longer watching NBC News and MSNBC. And from now on, I'll be giving up NBC prime-time programming and NBC sports, and pretty much everything and anything associated with NBC. NBC is network non grata in my home, and I hope, the homes of many other Americans as well.

Sincerely wishing your ratings tank, etc.”

It seems that I was not the only one to contact Mr. Capus.

If anyone else would like to contact Mr. Capus, his email address is:

steve.capus@nbc.com

Dolberman is one of the most unbearable and vile character around. Whomever they replace him with will be an improvement.
