If this trend isn't reversed BUT FAST, he's sunk. Because they can't follow one ratings disaster with a second ratings disaster and let it ride like that. In hopes that it'll somehow magically turn around. Yep, do much the same kind of thing, over and over again, but expect a different result.

I'm counting the days. And I will relish it when it comes - and it's probably inevitable. I don't see how this arrogant putz salvages such a mess. Plus, you don't often get a long, generous run over many months or years to try to turn things around as far as what may be an unstoppable downward trend. He's evidently bringing in worse ratings than david gregory's. That's NOT why they yanked david gregory and made the change - to get a result like THAT!!!
