discolé monade Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I was a senior producer on Phil’s short-lived MSNBC primetime show in 2002 and 2003. It was frustrating for us to have to deal with the men Phil called “the suits”—NBC and MSNBC executives who were intimidated by the Bush administration and resisted any efforts by NBC/MSNBC to practice journalism and ask tough questions of Washington before our young people were sent to Iraq to kill or be killed. Ultimately, Phil was fired because—as the leaked internal memo said—Donahue represented “a difficult public face for NBC at a time of war.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Toulon Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Rip...I didn't pay him much attention so I'll not pretend I know of his work. Sadly, I can tell you quite a bit about Sally Jesse Raphael and Montel Williams 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
