NBC being NBC

I was reading a post about Obama worship at Wizbang and was tickled by this little passage:

Yet, as President Bush speaks this morning from the White House addressing the latest government move to infuse liquidity to tight credit markets, cable and broadcast networks carried his words live - except for NBC, who couldn't bring themselves to break from a dancing Al Roker on the Today Show to afford the President of the United States the attention of their viewers.

Yeah, the same folks who broadcast two hours live from Cuba and can't find a few seconds to mention a single political prisoner by name. But there was plenty of time to see a dance troupe performing to a song perfomed by Los Van Van.

Who are running these networks? Decisions like this come from "higher management."
