Of course we were going to write a short statement about today's announcement that at the end of the summer, Chuck Todd will be stepping away from "Meet The Press," and the new moderator will be Kristen Welker.
If you read our last column, you'll be surprised as we were by this announcement as it was exactly the action that this column had called for.
It was an obvious call for us to make so no great insight, but part of us can't help to think that someone at NBC or "Meet The Press" may have been reading. When you lose a viewer who's written a column because the show for about 15 years, a change is certainly a thought.
Our cudos and congratulations to Mr. Todd for a great run and for his stewardship of the 'program of record,' but it is definitely time for a change.
Will this change inspire others? Time will tell, but we're feeling inspired!
