David Shuster goes crazy after Countdown crew films his “bald spot”

NY Post:

Shuster is a little sensitive about his thinning hair. Although daytime cameramen at MSNBC have been instructed never to shoot the anchor from behind, the prime-time crew never got the memo. “David went crazy when he filled in for Keith Olbermann last week and was shot from behind, exposing his bald spot,” said a source close to production. “He went crazy and is so upset about it, he’s thinking about getting a rug.” MSNBC had no comment.

Shuster: Report is “complete and utter fabrication”…

Never in my career have I ever been a diva or complained about how I’ve been shot or framed. Ask any director or producer who has actually ever worked with me. I’m the guy who is happy to do anything and NEVER complains, ever.

The ny post/page 6 allegation is a complete and utter fabrication. I have no issues with my hair or the spot on my head where I lack some. I have never complained or been concerned about being shot from behind. (We use the plasma shot nearly every show.)And, I don’t “go crazy” or have “meltdowns” over anything.

I can’t even think of any incident in recent weeks where I complained about anything and might have been misconstrued.

I can easily imagine however, why the ny post would make things up out of whole cloth. But, I’ll leave that story to you.

Please give my denial as much space on huffpost as you gave to page 6.

Thanks
Shuster

PS. I’m on vacation in california. But, I’ll keep my bberry nearby should you have any questions.
