Commentators lose news jobs on MSNBC

NBC and its cable arm, MSNBC, have decided to replace commentators with news people for election coverage, according to the New York Times. After earlier using Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews to anchor election "news" coverage, the network says it's going to use news staffers, especially David Gregory, in the role.  This is great news for those who believe the walls between commentary and news have been reduced or eliminated, especially on cable network shows.
