he would not want to spend considerable time doing fluffy features

People who watch GMA don't want hard news and political analysis. If they did, they would watch one of the cable news channels. If they design the show around what GS wants, they'll lose their present audience to other morning fluff shows on the gamble they may pick up a smattering of people who normally watch cable news. I'm amazed GS is even considering it.
