Speculating on the possible ascension of Lester Holt as NBC Nightly News anchor in the wake of the Brian Williams disaster, The New York Times has let a big cat out of the state-of-the-news-business bag:
"Mr. Holt, 55, while widely respected, is not as famous a figure at NBC as Matt Lauer, the co-host of the 'Today' show."
So "fame" trumps respect? Thanks, but when it comes to who delivers our news, we'll take respect over "fame" any day. We cats HISS.

Respect? I remind your readers that when his network asked their staff members to name their favorite movie, Lester Holt responded "Dumb and Dumber".
Yes, we cats saw that on your blog. But "respect" was The New York Times's word, not ours. The Times was implying that fame was more important, which is what made us hack up a hairball.
