Maybe Bob Schieffer and Andy Rooney can roll newsman John Roberts off a flight of stairs in a shopping cart. Dust him off and tatoo "LOSER" on his forehead. I'd pay to see that.

"Can only be an improvement"
Rot and mold in consumables are not amenable to improvement. And their crap [pretended news] is a consumable.
