It could be Johnny Carson & when he's on vacation...either Joan Rivers or Jay Leno?

[TapTap]

Freepers, would somebody please raise your hand if you care?

[mad_as_he$$]

ahh, Who cares C-BS news is dead.

[plain talk]

Chair? I'm OK with Rather gettin' the Chair.

[bray]

Tony Snow would be pretty good???

Pray for W and Our Troops

[Anti-Bubba182]

Chet Huntley-David Brinkley worked well, the oters were disasters. It would be tough to make it work in the age of Prima Donna anchors, not that I hope CBS doesn't do it and falls on their faces.

[bushisdamanin04]

Co-anchors would be a stupid move. Perfect for CBS.

How about a "News Show" with NO ANCHOR?

How about a "News Show" that has someone with a pleasant voice READ new news copy. Reading news copy that all the other news outlets have NOT ALREADY played to death? That would be a nice half-hour news show.

How about the TV network having 5-6 guest editorials every evening? This can replace the reading of news items by a talking head.

[martin_fierro]

Please.

How hard can it be to read copy -- written by someone else?

[Enlightiator]

Moonves said he's confident that any level of negligence found in the decision to air the documents would not prevent Rather from continuing as an investigative reporter for "60 Minutes."

Unbelievable. I guess for Viacom "co-prexy-co-chief operating officer" Leslie Moonves the use of fake documents is A-OK on 60 minutes. Carry on, Dan....but I'm not going to watch.

[Lunkhead_01]

They ought to hold a raffle to determine who gets to be the news reader on the See-BS Evening News. Let people buy tickets at $10 each. The winner gets the job at half Rather's salary and keeps half the net ticket sales. We might end up with someone who will make editorial comments after stories like, "That ain't gonna sell back home in Peoria."

[bushisdamanin04]

No, no, no, no. Dan is a real journalist! I've seen him in his jungle jacket thingy. No, he is a real journalist.

>Moonves said he's confident that any level of negligence found in the decision to air the documents would not prevent Rather from continuing as an investigative reporter for "60 Minutes."

What utter krep.

First, as an anchor, most of what aired was written by others. Dan was mostly out of the loop.

Secondly, so let's retire Dan from the "reader's" chair and place him in a position, at 60 Minutes, to make judgments as to what is truth and what airs?????

Am I missing some logic here... or is Moonves!?!?!

Moonves = Moonbeam

A chair in the air on-th-air would work.

[MikeHu]

Why don't they just telecast the teleprompter and we can all read it ourselves?

CBS would be branded a right-wing news organization because most Liberals can't read.

[mrsmith]

Have different 'anchors' each segment.
Rod Serling could do the opening segment...

"It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears, and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call ... The CBS Evening News!"

[CDB]

WOW

More BS from cBS.
