>>NBC is a POS outfit and should be flushed at the earliest oppertunity.<<
I think people need to recognize the company that's BEHIND the management of NBC, namely General Electric, who owns NBC. GE's management tolerates this kind of irresponsible behavior, failing to provide meaningful punishment of those who engage in it.
What cynical commercial or political purpose does GE's tolerance of such misbehavior serve? Answer that, and you will understand why it continues unabated.
