Since when?!?
I've lived in South Dakota, where Brokaw is from-- there's not a need for a lot of stairs there. Then again, maybe he's just old. Maybe they need to install elevators where he's at. Maybe he needs a diction coach. Then again, maybe he needs to retire, as his influence is finally waning...
And what does that say about CNN and PBS's "unbiased" coverage? Go on, Mr. Rosenstiel, say it. Say it, I dares ya!
"That's why I find it hard to climb those stairs and get into the anchor chair anymore."
Awwww, poor baby.
*insert eye-rolling smiley*
Brokaw, Jenning, Rather and the other are just lucky that a car chase in LA didn't break out last nite or no one would have watched them. No network or cable channel does car chases like FoxNews.
I believe it was George Will that wrote a column back before the Iraq War that argued that the UN has become irrelevant because the need for international diplomats had diminished due to instant communications and rapid travel. There was no need for a country to send a delegate to one common place to project that countries interests--it could easily be done by the leaders themselves with the technology available.
We're rapidly seeing old institutions like the MSM crumble as new technologies take their place. Large congregations, like party conventions, where the party leaders hammer out platforms and elect candidates is just another one of those dinosaurs.
I think a lot of people were interested in the conventions. If I were watching on Fox because it's the only network with coverage, why would I change to another network at 10 PM?
That's because you just don't understand the game anymore, Danny-boy. You're liberal bias is as out-moded as the single wing offense.
Does anyone have the statistics on how many watched each convention? What were the totals for all the alphabets and cable channels for the Democrat and Republican conventions? I'll bet twice to three times as many people watched the Republican convention. It was much more entertaining.
You really have to laugh at these morons like Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, etc. They just don't get it! They are lost and will never be found? Just like John Kerry and that idiot, John Edwards!!!
Yeah, don't let the door hit you in the @ss on the way out, ya sanctimonious blowhard! Now if only Jennings and Blather would ride off into the sunset, I might actually be able to watch network TV again.
Like the fall of the roman empire, we are seeing the fall of the msm empire. They pigeon holed themselves into this position. By only having one hour, they cant impose their opinion on the audience like years past. Hopefully, we will see the effects on Nov 2.
Chris Wallace was simply giddy on Fox News this a.m. about the ratings. He quoted one of his coworkers -- talking about the network whining -- as saying "that's the sound a dinosaur makes when he's going extinct."
I am still in shock that a Cable News Network blew away the big three. Amazing and shows, at least to me, that a lot of people don't like getting their news form them.
Well the shot clock is in now and the game has adjusted, run and gun Danny boy. You guys are still trying to play keep away, and you're losing the ball. And the game. LOL.
"After beating the broadcast networks for the first time on Tuesday, Fox News dominated viewership from 10 to 11 p.m. on Wednesday, when Vice President Dick Cheney gave his acceptance speech. Fox not only pulled in more viewers than any individual broadcast network, with 5.918 million, but also attracted more viewers than CBS (2.6 million) and ABC (3.3 million) combined. NBC had 4.5 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research. "
I'm actually in shock that the NY SLimes would actually report this FACT. How unlike them!
