How was Gregory 'ON duty' when he was talking to Imus? I'm not disagreeing with you, P., I just want to know what is actually designated "on duty" for a reporter. Is he on duty having dinner at a restaurant talking to a talkshow host? Just asking. I'm not clear on all that. You seem to be.

p.s. --- how many more days before you walk the plank?

He was on duty because he was on the air in a professional capacity. Imus didn't have him on the show because he's a buddy, Imus had him on the show because he's NBC White House correspondent. Further, Gregory has his employer's reputation in his hands when he appears in public representing them.

Dinner with a reporter is different because . . . no camera. And if Gregory had been surreptitiuosly recorded in this condition it would be different.


But in this case, that interview was on duty.
