    NBC; Charles Kaiser; Greenwald

    Despite all the stuff that's been revealed about NBC and the retired officers, it's unlikely that NBC is going to change its tune. In effect, they're telling the viewing public to f**k off. Let's hope that NBC's viewership declines as a result of this travesty.

    My compliments to Charles Kaiser of the Columbia Journalism Review. His forthright take on the NBC mess is what good journalism is all about.

    Now, about Greenwald: I read Tina Brown's item at Politico, and it was good to see. Brown, correctly, thinks that Meet The Press needs fresh blood. They need to get away from the worn out, Establishment hacks like Tom Brokaw and David Broder. She mentioned Greenwald as a possible host of Meet The Press.

    Mr. Greenwald, while I think you'd be a fine host of that show, let's be honest here: I just don't think you--well, fit in with the prevailing D.C. Beltway ethos!
