Fact is the Today show has gone from being a ratings leader to a dud, getting destroyed by Sunrise and has made some very poor decisions re casting. All of these decsions were made before Eddie took over, he is the one who has to try and clean up the mess. Rowe and Steffanovic are bloody awful, something has to be done, yet he gets bagged for doing it. Hardly his fault that what went on behind closed doors has been made public.
I agree, I think Eddie was right to want to sack Jessica Rowe, I would have, I think this is a good example of the Business community which is obsessed with security, If I had been Eddie, and I had made those comments I would have say something like,
Yes, I question the performance of the Today Show, I'm hired to do that very thing.
of course if he didn't make those comments then he should sue for defamation.
I think the biggest problem for Eddie, is he tries to be seen as a top bloke, while really good leaders are very really seen as such, he is still a newbie to the role, and he will learn from it.
The body langugue on the Today speaks volumes about the On air and off air relationship
