MSM Evening News used to have close to 40 million viewers combined. Most of their viewers now are hooked up to oxygen bottles in their wheelchairs. Looking at ads for walkers. Admiring the Hurricane walking cane ads, "Look it stands up. And it comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and a carrying bag."

They now have half of what CBS News used to have before the internet exposed the Emperors' ding-a-lings.

George Patton would have slapped Williams, Rather and Cronkite as fouling the honor of valid warriors.

"You're going back to the front my friend. And I am personally going to put you in the lead chopper."

You're right, but my recollection is that the ads on the nightly news were aimed at senior citizens even back in the '70s and '80s.

Remember the old (and awful) "I think I'll keep her!" ads for Polident? I'm certain those were mainly seen on the TV nightly news programs.
