Q. NBC News announced today that they're dropping Stone Phillips from "Dateline NBC" after 15 years as the show's anchor. In a cost cutting move by NBC, they will be concentrating on other stories reported by other correspondonts. Phillips' contract with NBC expires at the end of June & has no further comment. Your thoughts on this?
Answer
Having been a middle-management victim of cost cutting and downsizings at USA TODAY, I can empathize with Phillips. However, I'm sure NBC was a lot more considerate of Phillips. He'll land on his feet, perhaps on another network. It'd be great to have him replace the likes of "Baba Wawa" on ABC; her mush-mouth manner of speaking and inane subject matter bores me to tears. I don't care about the latest celebrity's life crisis. I'd like to see more 'meaty' reports about government corruption, political scandals, and bureaucratic waste of taxpayers' money. -RKO- 05/22/07

what happened to the news story today about the texas shooting involving two black males? i saw it this mornin?
Q. why was this story removed? it happens alot.I see a story in the morning and then I go to read about it later and it is gone...what is going on?
Answer
In the morning, they were hoping for another rampage school killing. They treated it as world news. I first learned of it this morning on Al Jazeera English.
Then it came out that, not only was the shooter Black, but the shooting arose out of a dispute by two Black men who just happened to be on the Lone Star college campus, and that nobody else was targeted. Even more important, NOBODY was KILLED.
[BTW, so far the USA has not had even one Black rampage killer.]
Suddenly it was just a stupid dispute between a couple of gang members. Yes, I am pretty sure it was gang related, judging by the clothing of the disputants.
So, not wanting to look like the opportunists they are, the news media dropped the story.
They should never have made it so big in the first place.
