Dateline NBC host Stone Phillips has been dropped from the network.
After more than fifteen years of service for the network, the news anchor’s contract was not renewed because NBC has been hit with a corporate mandate to cut costs and good ol’ Stoney was too pricey.
Phillips released the following statement, “I’m profoundly appreciative of the many friends and colleagues, past and present, who have been a part of the Dateline family. This is a great news division with a bright future. I wish the people of NBC News all the best.”
But what he really wanted to say is…..
“Katie Couric is destroying the CBS Evening News and she’s still on the air. But I’m getting fired? This is fucked!”
