"From aprevious FR thread the rumor mill says the producer is Jim Bell, Executive Producer, “Today”, NBC News."
Yeah, I saw that on PJM. I think he also turned his Twitter account to "private" status last night. I did see an article quoting Bernie Goldberg on Fox saying he didn't think Bell was the type that would do this- he thinks it was a segment producer (who knows?).
Brian Williams (see comment #2) gave the go-ahead on showing it- he's the one who really needs to pay here, IMO.
The “fired producer” was supposedly based in Miami, while Jim Bell is based in New York. It probably isn’t Bell.
