It’s Official: Ed Rendell(Former PA Gov) Joins NBC News
Edited on Tue Jan-25-11 05:49 PM by RamboLiberal
NBC News has made it official, confirming that former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell will join the company as a political analyst. He will contribute to NBC News broadcasts as well as MSNBC.

“Governor Rendell has never been afraid to share his thoughtful analysis on national and local issues and he couldn’t be a better fit for NBC News,” said NBC News president Steve Capus in a statement. “His extensive experience serving the people of Pennsylvania gives him a unique perspective and we’re thrilled to have him on board.”

Interestingly enough, Rendell’s former chief of staff when he was the Mayor of Philadelphia, David L. Cohen, is one of the top executives at Comcast, which is expected to assume control of NBC Universal at the end of this week.
