Larry Wert can`t take the chance that if he lets Saunders go, it creates a racial blowback on Channel 5. Stiil Warner is on very thin ice and if he creates more scenes like the one he pulled at the AFTTRA meeting, Wert may have no choice but to pull the plug on his 10PM anchor. However, Saunders only has four months left so I`m betting he keeps his gig.
: Looks like the truth hurts ancient Warner more than we knew.
: He has to know that he's become a joke to so many of us.
: He makes numerous mistakes & mispronunciations.
: He stayed way too long & NBC management was afraid to tell him to go specifically because of the Felicia Middlebrooks mess. If I remember correctly, she wanted a raise, CBS didn't want to give it to her & she used Jesse Jackson to get it for her by claiming racism.
: Diann Burns managed to screw CBS out of millions & never delivered in the ratings, so she was dumped.
: If he did say that to Feder about a mohel, then Warner should be fired, NOW!
