I think what is wrong with Scarborough and, perhaps, Matthews, is Rick Kaplan. I read a rumor that with the head of NBC news leaving Kaplan (FOB) is on his way out by the end of the year.

He just put Bill Wolfe -- the guy that was producing Tucker's show -- in charge of all of their primetime programing.

The change coincides with Joe going over to the dark side (bigtime and I used to be a fan of his show).

One story has Kaplan going so off the deep end after Keith Olberman talked (at the end of one of his shows) about having cancer in his mouth from all his years of smoking cigars. Kaplan was so angry about this that he marched onto the set and they ended up in a screaming match and Olberman on a 'leave of absence' from the show. He (Kaplan) is supposed to be such a micro-manager he has the "talent" post cards for each segment on a bulletin board so he can keep track of them staying on his approved subject matter.

Maybe if NBC really does jetison Kaplan the channel can turn around?????
