11. NBC tribute to Tim?
Thu Sep 4, 2014, 10:18 PM
Sep 2014

The loss of Tim Russert was devastating to the news division and to the faithful of MTP, hiring and mentoring Luke imo appears to be a way to maintain the connection to his father and his enormous contributions to NBC.

If Luke is not up to par, needing to do the local news and journalist road to the big time, rather than carte blanche to the adults' table, blame the news division and their president.
