Bastards.

So, NBC was making money with Leno and wasn't making as much with Conan (me making a presumption based on anecdotal information - I will retract should someone provide facts to the contrary), not to mention the flack they were getting from the affiliates. They want to return to making more money. How does this make them bastards?
Financially speaking, dropping Leno for O'Brien was a mistake. They are correcting the mistake. I doubt that anybody at NBC WANTED things to turn out the way they did for Conan, but sometimes, difficult decisions need to be made.
