Clayton leaving is a delayed punishment for backing screaming Neal and Fiona who undermined a once viable and respected hard news operation by pushing for tabloid stories, too many graphics and un-inspired talent hirings. The idea was to let Clayton go with enough interim time so as not to taint him with the screaming Neal regime. He must have some kind of clout to have put off his leaving for so long. Maybe he has something on the HR office at WNYW. How else to explain the sad dismantling of the station reputation by cronyist and poor management choices and the abetting of the former NDs regime? |

Clayton wasn't the problem. Screaming Neil wasn't the problem (he was A problem, but not THE problem). WNYW was much, much, much worse off before their arrival (remember Susan Sullivan and Mike Wach and Kate Kelleher??? PuhLEEZE.)
Clayton did his best. It didn't work out. But he and his team at least improved the product.
