Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING

Heyward said CBS News was looking beyond the anchor as the "voice of God." But don't count on "Evening News" to follow the lead of "The Early Show," which has four anchors, or the multiple anchors/multiple cities model that was the trademark of ABC's "World News Tonight" in the late 1970s and early '80s.

Stick a fork in it. We don't need ANY nightly news program. Around the clock coverage serves us better. The "single broadcast" format never covered much "news" anyway.

Few other tv broadcasts are a shared experience anymore, no reason to have us all being fed the same propaganda at the same time. And the anchor should never be a "star".

Another "Most trusted man in America"? No thanks. Not lying is a part of the job description for ANY journalist.

A transcript of everything said on a thirty minute evening news television show will fill only two-thirds of one page of a newspaper. Television news is a colossal waste of time -- only good for showing video of newsworthy scenes, which we can all get now on the Internet.

You know what this proves, right? It proves that they had NO PLAN for Rather's "leaving."
