26 years old and anchoring a morning news program.
I know, I know it has been said before, but seriously, does a kid right out of college get a shot at the big time if his name is Stan Kowalski...
To me that tells me that the people at MS NBC take the news so lightly that they think a kid with a famous name and probably no real perspective is aok to bring home the news....
Adding this, Russert totally lost control of the two people talking at each other and over each other.

Bon chance!

(45,558 posts)What bothers me most is we don't even have anything approaching a meritocracy especially in one of the most high exposure industry.

You're not exceptional, kid. Exceptions have been made for you. Don't blow all of dad's money before you discover that the hard way.

(47,613 posts)It is much too uncomfortable. He reminds me of a 12 year old who gets to sit at the grown-up table for the first time and tries to talk like an adult.
After his dad died, he was given a job that was way beyond his abilities. I can't believe someone(s) at MSNBC still is trying to push him on us.
