In a show of false concern, Holt inquired "How is Rush doing?"

I don't know who the weenie author of this is, but I know for a fact that Rush & Lester happen to have a fine professional friendship. I know Holt is sincerely concerned.

Nobody can accuse CBG of being wordy!

I don't know about the relationship between Rush and Holt. And in fact Holt has struck me as one of the more professional, fair-minded TV journalists.

However, Black specifically singled out Holt's MSNBC for very publicly going through Rush's medical records or reports, with people calling out the name of drugs and doctors.

If you have a chance to see the interview, I think you'll see that there was a negative edge to the tenor of Holt's comments. I was actually surprised by it. Perhaps it was his presence as a fill-in on The Today Show, knowing Katie Couric was looking over his shoulder.
