Personally, Luke Russert seems perfectly capable of killing his dad's suspect legacy all by himself. It's a tossup between him and Jenna B. Hager for the worst legacy hire at NBC.
The article simply asserts that Russert pere could manage relationships with newsmakers and his bosses very well. That's probably why so many people think he was a talented journalist/broadcaster - he was really nice to them. Arguably it's then that the problems started for Olbermann, not for MSNBC.
