He really put his foot in his mouth on this one. After The Clinton camp vowed not to appear in the upcoming Ohio debate set to televised by the network (MSNBC) the response was swift and hard. Media Matters is now reporting that David Shuster has been suspended from televised commentary.
NBC News President Steve Capus sent the following statement to Media Matters for America:
NBC NEWS STATEMENT REGARDING CHELSEA CLINTON COMMENT:
On Thursday's "Tucker" on MSNBC, David Shuster, who was serving as guest-host of the program, made a comment about Chelsea Clinton and the Clinton campaign that was irresponsible and inappropriate.
Shuster, who apologized this morning on MSNBC and will again this evening, has been suspended from appearing on all NBC News broadcasts, other than to make his apology.
He has also extended an apology to the Clinton family. NBC News takes these matters seriously, and offers our sincere regrets to the Clintons for the remarks.
