A cheer leader gets cut from the squad ,,,, big deal ,,,,,,,,
Four million is chump change.
According to the the book about the LBO of RJR/Nabisco, the ousted CEO was pad fifty-four million on his expedited exit.
I pointed that out in a b-school class, and the prof pointed out that it was nothing compared to the wasteful and inefficient way the CEO was running the corporation, and it was more than worth it get rid of the guy.
With the Gregory, I'm guessing it's costing them more in both ad income and prestige, also related to ad income, to keep him on.
Years ago, I read an article about the Sunday talking head shows, and if you ever wonder why entities such as Big Food, Big Pharma, etc. sponsor them, it's because the shows are aimed at the inside Beltway policy making crowd.
Ergo, to get the important policy pols currently in power on the show, you have to be able to attract the home town audience, and Gregory apparently wasn't drawing them, so he was probably only able to get the third stringers on his show.
He refers to him as ‘F. Chuck Todd’
Good riddance to the Obama kneepad wearing shill.
Same. I can’t remember the last time I watched any of that Sunday bobble-head idiocy. The 90s maybe?
Russert often stayed on an intellectual level that dealt with principles... even when they were liberal - even when they were presented as nitty gritty. But it was almost never personal - never just raw contempt for conservatives.
Also Russent sometimes pulled his punches because he sensed we were humans with feelings... not unlike himself. That's odd for a liberal. That said, like you - after a few weeks I'll probably be gone too... Liberals can have one more show to prop them up... which is fine.
He is much the same as David Gregory but with real hatred in his heart instead of chicken-sh!+edness.
Interesting point - Why haven't liberals been successful with radio?
On radio there is no visual distraction to get in the way of what goes in the ears. So, the progresso-commie-liberal contempt cannot be obfuscated. They need some stunning grey hair to keep us peons distracted while they ply us with their ideas.
They have a bigger problem than just David Gregory. They think it is just the messenger and not the message.
It’s really $2 million after taxes, or maybe it’s not a lump sum. People in NYC and DC will really miss him.
I know a company that paid two consecutive CEO’s close to $80 million each to leave and stop doing damage to the company.
Next gig: hosting a documentary about income inequality.
Especially in the finicky "Face of [CNN]" type of business.
And "higher" education.
