Idle Chatter: NBC Purge, Facebook Climbdown...

-Big cuts are ahead at NBC and MSNBC, including "eliminating an entire level of MSNBC's management team." CNBC is to be spared. Thanks, Fox Business! [NYP]

-Mark Zuckerberg is really sorry about the way that whole Beacon thing went down. Eh, words are cheap. What counts is that you can now, finally, opt out of Beacon altogether if you want. [Portfolio]

-The Wall Street Journal is on a hiring spree in advance of Rupert Murdoch's takeover, but it's also trimming some deadwood. Jim Romenesko says 20 staffers have been offered buyouts. [Romenesko]

-Keith Kelly pegs the likely price for Karl Rove's memoir at $3 million. If it's as honest and insightful as Rove's Newsweek column, that's only about $2,995,000 more than it's worth. [NYP]
