WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) — The legendary Bob Schieffer is calling it a career Sunday as he hosts his last “Face the Nation.”
Schieffer joined CBS News in 1969 and in that span he covered the White House, State Department, Pentagon, Capitol Hill, anchored the “CBS Evening News,” and hosted “Face the Nation” the past 24 years.
Washington has changed dramatically when he began covering the nation’s capital. Schieffer told “CBS This Morning” on Friday that the “revolution in communications” has turned D.C. “upside-down.”
“We now don’t know where people get their news, but what we do know is they’re bombarded with information 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Most of the information is wrong and some of it is wrong on purpose,” Schieffer said. “It is our job, I think, in mainstream journalism to try to cut through this mall of information and tell people what we think is relevant in what they need to know. That is the job of the journalist and I have to say it’s harder and harder.”

Let me rewrite that for clarification:
Most of the information is wrong and some of it is wrong on purpose,” Schieffer said. “It is our job
Much more to the truth.
You beat me to the clarification punch! LOL! That’s also the way I read it the first time through...
“tell people what we think is relevant in what they need to know. That is the job of the journalist”
Sorry Bob, but the people don’t need your insight and commentary.
you saw that too ... was about to post your information and nearly a same remark .... It is our job ... schieffer said ... all the lies that matter one must tune to See BS
So Mrs. Schieffer’s little bobby thinks that it is HIS job to tell us what the news is and what we should think about it? That’s flippin’ weird.
It’s more like where NOT to get your news...and CBS is almost at the top of the list...right after anything related to NBC.
Another liberal whose expiration date has long since expired.
Dan. Rather.
Amazing how many leftwing journos the State of Texas has produced over the years.
E-mails show White House tried to muzzle Sharyl Attkisson
"I’m also calling Sharryl’s editor and reaching out to Schieffer. She’s out of control."
“It is our job, I think, in mainstream journalism to try to cut through this mall of information and tell people what we think is relevant in what they need to know.
Sanctimonious liberal prick.
Most of the information is wrong and some of it is wrong on purpose,” Schieffer said. “It is our job, I think, in mainstream journalism to try to cut through this mall of information and tell people what we think is relevant in what they need to know. That is the job of the journalist and I have to say it’s harder and harder.”
In other words, we want to censor the information to support our world view and tell everyone else that they should see things the same way.
Possibly one of the few moment of truth from the POS, admitting they filter news to their liking.
what schieffer failed to tell Americans is he was paid well to not report the news ... make it up though schieffer and SeeBS will report ... Liars are paid well by those in d.c. and those that want to go to d.c. especially if democrats.
I read The Left-Leaning Antenna: political bias in television in the early 70s. They have always been lying commie hacks only the difference is that now more folks are recognizing it.
Not even with a bag limit.
