Best Answer

Stone Phillips was not "fired" by NBC in the classic sense. Rather, his contract was not renewed because executives at NBC could not justify the cost of having two anchors (Ann Curry being the other) for the Dateline program and General Electric, parent company of NBC, is in a major cost cutting mode. The decision not to renew Phillips' contract was, therefore, a budget decision and had nothing to do with his job performance.
