      I must say - I have never heard someone say the word "proud" so many times if not running for office. Zucker is smart, but mentioning guys like Russert and others - well silly really.

      Charlie Rose: What do you think of this boil?

      Jeff Zucker: I have tremendous respect for that boil and I'm incredibly proud of the work we've done for it.

      In case you missed this one and want to save some time, here's what Zucker said:

      Even though Zucker knew he was going to be fired by Comcast, he feels incredibly lucky and even though he wishes, naturally, that he'd been more successful at NBC he's incredibly proud of his time at the network and even though he takes responsibilty for the failure of prime time he feels incredibly lucky to have been given the opportunity to lead a network and even though he would have preferred, of course, that the Conan/Leno fiasco hadn't played out in public the way it did he feels incredibly confident about the wisdom of the decisions he made at the time even though in retrospect he realizes those decisions were incredibly ill-advised and he does take responsibility for them but having said that, he now looks forward to continuing to offer his vision and leadership with the incredible opportunities presented by the incredible maturing of digital media.

      Tho I'll admit that it usually offers more info, NBC News drives me just as crazy as the other two. I saw three biased, stupid reports in a row the other night and wrote comments regarding all three, which was no mean feat, because their MSNBC website is one of the worst designed I've ever seen. American network news isn't news anymore, and it's never objective. That seems deliberate, aimed at women and the elderly, but it's also an extension of the trend that started with tabloid journalism. With all the blogs and op-eds, the newspapers are going that way too. It's a reversion to earlier times and it probably parallels the trend in the world of politics. The only place to find news is in foreign sources.
