The networks are dying dinosaurs. Brokaw, Rather and Jennings still reach huge audiences, but these audiences are diminishing in their importance, especially regarding electoral politics. Let's face it: none of them are "hip" and none of them reflect the basic love for country that is prevalent these days. As the "raised on cable" generation grows older, the audience of the Big 3 Network News divisions are going to swirl down the commode of irrelevancy. And I love it.

There are some people at CBS who think the network should not even bother hiring a replacement for Rather. They'd prefer to give the time to the entertainment side. Many affiliates would prefer to have the time to themselves.
