TV Newser:

TVNewser has learned that NBC News has filed a formal complaint with the White House press office over the distribution of presidential interviews, specifically that several of the most recent broadcast TV interviews have gone to ABC News — including George Stephanopoulos’s interview yesterday and Charlie Gibson’s December 15.
NBC is reportedly claiming Stephanopoulos’ friendship with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has helped land the interviews. But insiders tell us those decisions are generally left to Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.

Mary Matalin still has the best description of the friendship between Rahm Emanuel, George Stephanopoulos, and her husband, James Carville:

“They talk like they are girls.”

I guess NBC News just wants to be one of the girls, too.
