NEW YORK (AP) — Former NBC News chief Steve Capus will join CBS in July as the top executive at Scott Pelley's evening newscast, the network said Tuesday.

Capus left NBC in 2013 after eight years as president of the news division, part of a turnover triggered by troubles at the "Today" show. He was Tom Brokaw's last executive producer at NBC's "Nightly News" and is close to Brian Williams, whom he will now compete with each night.

Capus will also have broader responsibilities as executive editor of CBS News, behind chairman Jeff Fager and President David Rhodes.

We should seriously start a web site that only documents the incestuousness of the commies running this countries’ media. I saw a chart someone produced regarding the White House connections...but it would be fun to dedicate a web site just to that!
