“So what. I never watch ABC news.”

Yes, I didn’t even realize that Peter Jennings died. (I’m serious.)

I would watch Couric before I would Sawyer.

[And I haven’t watched Couric since she took the CBS gig.]

“...I’ve started watching him again.”

Freepmail me if you get that urge again and need some accountability. FRiends don’t let FRiends watch SRM news.

I watched ABC News at one time, before the days of cable TV. I used to like Harry Reasoner, Howard K. Smith and Frank Reynolds. These were class acts. There are no more like them.

Agreed. I would add NBC's Chet Huntley and David Brinkley to that list. They weren't bad. Even back in those days when I still watched network news I couldn't stand the sight of lefty scumbag Cronkite. Never trusted him.

Sawyer reminds me of Martha Stewart, without the personality.

FishFace is perfect. She’ll be down around Katie Couric’s numbers in no time!

I think Katie Kurva should be a little worried. Just sayin'...

As the networks decline toward failure the men are giving up their posts of prominence to the women who are tasked with navigating their ships to the ocean floor.

Jiminy Christmas, I remember watching that live when I was 9 years old... Has it been 26 years already ? She looked remarkably composed for someone with a snootful of cocaine. Just 20 days later, she’d be dead.

Jessica Savitch died before you were born, but she was... something spectacular. Spectacular rise, spectacular fall and tragic death (which, ironically, wasn’t because of her drug habit, although it’s quite possible she’d have never been in the car in PA had her on-air “mistake” never occurred - she died like Mary Jo Kopechne did, but the driver of the car was knocked unconscious so he never felt it. Looking at that vid is disturbing when you realize she wasn’t even 3 weeks away from her death, it’s almost like you could see the Devil dancing on her shoulder). Awful personal life, too. Back in those days (just as cable tv was in its infancy), network tv news anchors were “big.” A very different time, to say the least.

Thanks, you're right. I'll be more careful. :)

Hmmm. Thanks. Can’t say I’m surprised, though.
