Why does her program need to fail? What will she be doing on that program? Is it fox so-called news coming to M$M?

Anyone who's that frightened of a black Santa has some problems and shouldn't be trying to shape opinions of people with brains.

I support any and all efforts to resist on any level.

I was making fun of the comment I responded to. Yet, now that I think about it, at that time of night most of the ads are pharm ads with a looooong list of really horrible side effects to include death. I really hate those pharm ads and always reach for the remote to mute them or change the channel.

It's a pretty good bet they will. A pill that has possible side effects much worse than trhe condition it supposedly treats. I really hate these commercials and think they should be removed.

but a propaganda wing for the right. I will never watch that show or help them in any way. I'd rather watch PBS and donate that money to them.

I'm no TV executive (they never make mistakes) but...

For her
We all know she was in a toxic situation, of her own choosing - she had other offers when she decided to go into broadcasting, so she had to get out. NBC is archenemy #1 for Fox viewers so expect almost no carry over audience. Trying to position herself as one of the top echelon of newscasters is a stretch but you have to take that leap I guess. It's a leap.

For NBC
Head to head against 60 Minutes? With basically a summer time launch? That's a big leap.
If you are watching TV and that stopwatch starts clicking you are staying in to see the teasers. 60 Minutes is still the Cadillac of TV news magazines. Different reporters, different stories. 60 pioneered the immediate intro long before Seinfeld did for sitcoms which is now the norm.

I think NBC is under appreciating the carryover from the flagship O'Reilly show. If you'd sit and listen to Hannity, you'd listen to anything.

The camera loves her and she is bright. Getting Putin - who is like a baby pigeon to America, we know he exists but we never actually see him - is a huge scoop. I may watch or watch video simply to observe him. She may have a big first night or two or three and her show will make money but I don't think this is what NBC hopes it will be.

Time will tell. tick tick tick tick
