After 11 years as executive producer of the network’s flagship Sunday morning news program, Fischer left that role last summer to become NBC News’ senior executive producer and managing editor of political programming.
Chelsea Clinton also announced Friday that she was departing NBC News in order to prepare for the birth of her first child and focus on her work with the Clinton Global Initiative.
Often it is the executive producer who invites people to appear on the Sunday talk shows. Everyone knows that John McCain broke the record for invites to appear on Meet the Press and that MTP always invites Graham/Cruz/other extreme right-wingers regularly. Which says a lot about the executive producer.
Chelsea was at NBC News?
Never, as far as I know, did she do any appearances in front of a camera. She was probably involved in research, writing and production. She also was studying for her doctorate up until last spring.
In other words she had a conscience and realized that david douchebag Gregory was a horrible decision and she did the right thing… cause being seen day after day after that clusterphuck decision was too much to live with
Just more shuffling of the musicians on the deck of the USS Titanic aka 'Meet The Republicans". Chucky T is just the newest bandleader.
