    Zero.

    That said, I also want to defend Steve Capus a bit on this thread. Unlike most empty corporate suits, Capus really does have a soul. He may have sold it for awhile in deference to Imus, but better late than never in terms of recovering it. I applaud him for actually SEEKING OUT the opinions of NBC employees over the past week. And having sat in many meetings with Steve in the past, I completely believe him when he says those opinions played no small part in Imus' ouster from MSNBC.

    As someone I worked with at NBC said to me this morning about Steve Capus..."he's the only nice one."

    jack -
    Since you seem to know the terrain, was Capus behind the idiot move of hiring Michael Savage for MSNBC a while back, or was that Kaplan?

    It was actually Erik Sorenson who hired Savage. When I knew Capus, he was exec producer of Nightly News. He didn't take over the entire division until 2005. (I left in 2002.)

    Thanks.
    Capus came across pretty well, I thought, in what had to be a horrible situation for him.

    So it has only to do with his guests now.

    Weak.

    And, yes, plenty of politicians go on with SBC.
