1) Tell the news straight
2) Hire Laurie Dhue as anchor!
That's too funny. All they need to do is hire RUSH limbaugh for a day and he could tell them what their problems are.
Here's a plan for CBS: Stop being a bunch of left-wing HACKS!
Might help ratings.
he ought to be fired for that quote alone
Maybe he'd like a chance at a comeback...
Is Connie Chung still around TV someplace ?
This is not to say they will not tell truth or not put all their news in a liberal perspective. It merely means they will try new ways to mislead it's dwindling viewers.
Heyward said CBS News was looking beyond the anchor as the "voice of God." But don't count on "Evening News" to follow the lead of "The Early Show," which has four anchors, or the multiple anchors/multiple cities model that was the trademark of ABC's "World News Tonight" in the late 1970s and early '80s.
Stick a fork in it. We don't need ANY nightly news program. Around the clock coverage serves us better. The "single broadcast" format never covered much "news" anyway.
Few other tv broadcasts are a shared experience anymore, no reason to have us all being fed the same propaganda at the same time. And the anchor should never be a "star".
Another "Most trusted man in America"? No thanks. Not lying is a part of the job description for ANY journalist.
I stopped reading right there.
Dear CBS:
This article is a joke, right? You surely don't think that you can find a better liar than Dan Rather for a CBS "News" show, do you?
With Rather, you had the pinnacle of liars, the most practiced, that slimiest liar ever to grace the television screen, possibly in this century (and the last).
OK, he was a little stupid, what with that lying in the face of a ton of evidence, but that only endeared him to his many fans and gave him a little extra patina. (I'm not quite sure what that means, perhaps that he was getting a bit moldy as his many lies were exposed.)
Attempting to top that would only result in disappointment and angst among your left-wing colleagues.
Just a suggestion: Musical Comedies.
"pissant" ... is that a French word?
You know, I think I have a crackerjack idea for CBS news execs on how to crank up the audience share. Here it is:
Teach a really big dog how to fart "Wild Thing" backwards.
Then Bob can do a live interview with the dog!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........
Tell the news instead of the left wing political agenda and I'll watch CBS. Well, not really but I'll make fun of them less.
