Lester Holt has always been one of their better newspersons at MSNBC...

I agree. Lester Holt is one of MsNBC's few bright spots. Even during the last presidential campaign, I couldn't tell his political affiliation, and that to me is the mark of a good journalist. I assume (almost always a bad thing...assumption, that is) that he is liberal, but his reporting always seemed very objective. I had hoped that Lester would get a shot at Tom Brokaw's chair when he left. That would have been quite a coup for NBC. Perhaps CBS should look at Lester for their permanent anchor job, it couldn't hurt them.
