"I've concluded that it's time to move on to a new challenge," Shapiro wrote in a copy of the memo obtained by Reuters.
What?
Trying to help out Err America?
Or producing the "Uncle Snuffy and Fluffy Bunny Cartoon Cavern", mornings on UHF low power channel 162 in Mule Glands Montana?
Well?

Would it be true that Chris Matthews is next? That would be music to my ears. He hasn't recovered from the 2004 elections.

What are the odds that NBC will replace Shapiro with a person who does not hate conservatives? ZERO?

Yep, Al Franken, Michael Moore or Sean Penn would fit in nicely with potato head Tim Russert's political discourse and daily liberal biases of Katie & Matt.

The ratings of Fox during the last week will be staggering. If anyone finds them, please post them forthwith. Thanks in advance.

Zucker is very happy now... The NBC world is his and his alone... WOW and he orchestrated it in five years...

" Chris Mathews is reported to be next for the firing squad at NBC. Rumour is propaganda isnt selling like the old days."
Third place out of three for how many years and PMSNBC Matthews is still there! He is a Bush hater however and that trumps ratings. PMSNBC Matthews can always be campaign manager for Cindy Sheehan when she runs for Congress as he suggested.

It is so tough to be 'creative' when you have millions of informed citizens watching your every move... Yeah, seems to me the only thing not missing from NBC news was the creativity.

Like I said pure grapevine gossip. Usually only about 65% accurate. I hear propaganda may get a part of the ax this week. Setting the tone for the next propagandist who takes the job.

Newsmax had some ratings for Monday night of the hurricane. CNN gained on FOX. They had something like 2 million views as compared to Fox's 2.3 million. CNN usually has about 500,000. SO CNN had the momentum. I hear from Freepers they had great coverage until about Tuesday night went they went into their Bush's fault, Iraq war, racism charges. All downhill from Monday.
It will be interesting to see if they kept up their ratings surge or once again chose politics over good coverage and people deserted them for FOX.

The internet has underminned those poor old executive producers of 'news' shows.
It is so tough to be 'creative' when you have millions of informed citizens watching your every move... He he he.
I'm sure he told him "several months ago," that he wanted to spend more time with his family or pursue other carrer options.</sarcasm>

Well, I think they should get rid of:
Katie Couric
Ann Curry
Chris Matthews
Joe Scarborough
Ron Reagan (why does he even get to be on TV?)
Tim Russart and Matt Laurer need to be put on a 90 probation. If either of them quote the NYT, or have Biden, Hagel, Hillary or McCain on the show in that 90 period, they get canned on the spot.

SERIOUSLY??? Nothing could make me happier- I have grown to detest him.
Shapiro leaving. God knows how I wish he'd take ALL the rest of the narrow-minded biased "journalists" with him...

So, they can show the world, look it's Ronald Reagan's son and he even hates Bush.
