However, I must add that NBC has proved itself to be an unreliable news source. This network, along with the other majors, is no longer a valid source of journalism. They switched to the "entertainment" mode, which should be called "editorial" mode, yet they call it reporting. I agree with Jeff Stevens comments.

Hollywood just isn't talented anymore. He is hiding behind the excuse of the internet and cable, but in reality, he just isn't very good at his job. His only hit this year has been the trashing of Palin on SNL. But he isn't alone. HBO has been in decline since the Sapranos left the air. Now if the hosts of CNBC would only have the guts to ask Jack Welch why industrial giant GE bought must-see TV in the first place and why his six-sigma principles failed to keep it at the top.
