Tom Davenport sent a message to Stephen Burke CEO, NBCUniversal, Inc. - email address that said:
Mr. Burke:
It is my understanding that there no negotiations to renew Lawrence ODonnells contract.
My wife and I watch his show nightly because we are interested in real facts. Brian Williams is too middle of the road (like CNN) for people like us who watch Rachel and Lawrence.
The Last Word is one of the few reasons we find your network of value, so we hope you will intervene if Mr. Lack decides against renewal.
I hope that patriotism and good old business savvy (#2 rated show) outweigh any political pressure or personal animosity.
Please consider this. Thank You.
