Sam if only it was so. Unfortunately Peter Jennings is not Network News.
I wholly doubt 30 million individuals tune in to network news every evening. Cut that number by one-third and divide by two.
It's almost like they sat in their anchor chair doing play-by-play as the world passed them by.....
Well, Sam ought to know - he had a big part in killing it.
I check in here if I think something critical is up. FR is often ahead of the networks. Plus you get more and better detail here and sometimes there are even freepers on the scene.
If it wasn't for the drug industry there would be no commercial dollars for network news shows.
Maybe if they had reported news instead of their liberal point of view the competition would have been relegated to obscurity.
Yessssssss!!!!!!
The bass turds did it to themselves.... ;o)
I remember "back in the day" when CNN first started and The Big Three were poopin' popsicles back then, LOL! It has been a slow, painful death to watch...but they certainly brought it upon themselves, and Thank God for all the other news outlets of today!
I feel much better informed due to alternative news and the net. I used to have a few liberal leanings, and they are totally gone now. It's amazing how easy it was to manipulate and brainwash us all those years.
"If it's dying, it's dying a very slow death," Greenfield said. Although the network news monopoly was "smashed" by cable, broadcast news will redefine itself, thought he didn't yet know how. "
and there are still people using film cameras who think digital photography is a fad that will eventually fade away.
It'll beef up it's sponsors! "Tonight Headlines: Politics (brought to you by the DNC); Crime (brought to you by the RNC); Science (brought to you by GreenPeace); and our special feature "Investigating Presidential Secrets", brought to you by the Hillaryin'08 Campaign ."
Or murder, maybe. Definitely a homocide.
Hmmm, maybe the problem is that broadcast news already redefined itself sometime during the last 40 years or so. The definition as it stands today is something like:
"Leftwardly biased, DNC lapdogs"
Maybe the next "redifinition" will put them where they truly belong, among the ranks of such "news" sources as The Weekly World News.
Donaldson, however, said journalists shouldn't have blanket protection when lives are at stake, but didn't know how to draft a law that would balance the need to ensure that journalists can protect whistle blowers but won't impede legal investigations.
Gee Sam, here's an idea: how about you and all the other journalistic hacks out there are subject to the same laws as everyone else?
Self-important b*tt-wipe.
"I think it's dead. Sorry,"
I'm not. Requiescat in pace.
It could have been a loser in the 60's as well, I don't know, but in my term of media expertise, it went steadily downhill and UHF comedies were getting larger audiences in the same time slots, reflecting the sorts of people who watched at that hour.
Well, given choices, the people have gone elsewhere.
At least they got that news story right.
I guess this is their way of saying, Our editors have left us without supervision for way toooo long.
Network news might be dead but that thing on Sam's head sure isn't.
