Out of Respect for Everybody, Steve Capus Refuses to Acknowledge His Post-Russert Thinking

NBC News President Steve Capus, who says "numerous people" will be hired to replace Tim Russert, on the media's chattering classes predicting who will take over the late newsman: "I put it in the borderline-crass territory. I saw something posted that I've made a decision about this or that. Honestly, it's inappropriate. [...] It's too soon. I'm sitting in my funeral suit, coming home from honoring a man who was the glue that held us all together." [TVN] We get it, Capus: You don't want to offend Russert's family, anyone in the NBC News division, or the industry in general. But MTP is also quite a franchise, and it'd be corporate negligence to not be considering who will take over running NBC News' D.C. bureau. You've even been holding conference calls on the matter.
