Zucker Out At NBC; ComCast Eying MSNBC For Shakeup?

The NY Post confirms the exit.

This guy reduced NBC to rubble and he's still getting a $30-$40 million compensation package? What, rape victims now have to pay off the rapists?

I don't get this whole aspect of corporate culture, or why conservatives so fetishize laissez-faire that they can't see if stuff like this is going on then something is wrong, and we're not really dealing with working, rational markets. We seem to be dealing instead with a corporate class with a vested interest in keeping this ludicrous system in place, over the objections of shareholders.

I can't believe that shareholders really would vote in favor of crap like this if they had a genuine say.

Anyway.

As to MSNBC:

There is also widespread chatter inside MSNBC that their days of being a propaganda machine for Obama are over....

The thinking is that Phil Griffin won’t have time meet the new bosses before finding himself out on the street. And without Griffin to protect The Stalker [Olbermann] from the new corporate bosses, he can cross another network off his list of places he can never work again.

I kind of doubt that, but it's fun to think about.
