Excellent memo.
The writer of this column in the Post just doesn't get it. Oh, he sees that network news is losing its importance. But he thinks it is caused by them not covering the conventions. Nonsense.
People have turned to places where they can hear honest analysis and give-and-take, not the stacked deck that the networks present. People are sick of the "party line". Liberals have nothing to say, including liberal news commentators.
But if you're looking for a recent cause for loss of viewers (and hopefully readers - time will tell), you don't have to look any further than the past few days. The other networks can thank Dan Rather and CBS.
So they have done themselves in.
In that respect, I would say it's a job well done.
