President of CBS News to Step Down [Is this because the internet exposed their lies?]

NEW YORK TIMES ^ | October 26, 2005 | JACQUES STEINBERG

[grundle]

All these upper level people from CBS News have been leaving recently. Is this because the internet has exposed their lies?

[gov_bean_ counter]

Whooa Nellie. It's a fumbllllle.

[thoughtomator]

To prepare their defenses against the various fraud and counterfeiting charges that should be heading their way?

[SevenofNine]

Are they going blame the Freepers just YET

I think FR going be new Karl Rove

CBS Sports is the one part of CBS that I enjoy (with apologies to CSI & Survivor fans) - I suspect Mr. McManus has earned this promotion

See backhoe's memoir for the answer to "How?" and "Why?".

Thanks Howlin, Buckhead and every one else!

Bring it on. Klinton was none too fond of us, either.

"...increasingly skeptical of journalists as a whole."

Hmm I don't know if "skeptical" is the correct word.

I mean now if you see a Layer and a Journalist standing in the road - from whom do you swerve to avoid hitting??

Heck it's a tough choice. Also, do you even consider using the brakes?

"Good Evening, this is Dhan al-Rathar for CBS News.

Tonight's Headlines: "Iraq, a lost cause. Bush, How many cabinet officials will be indicted? and The National Guard finds copies of renderings of microfiches of xerox's of Bush's service record."

Hey Heyward, don't let the door bruise your rump on the way out.

[OregonRancher]

Off thread, but does anyone know what happened to our
famous Bagdad Bob? I'm surprized that he's not in NY at some studio....

[JoJo Gunn]

I'd repeatedly said that Heyward should've been canned the day Rather went to Texas to "break that story". The lapse in judgment was stupefying.

[varyouga]

And we would've got away with it too...if it wasn't for those damn meddling FReepers!

[varyouga]

Here are some theories:

Of course I'd use the brakes. It's just a matter of when.

And after using the brakes, I'd use reverse. And then the brakes again. And then back into first. And repeat as necessary.

What's the point of leaving a job half done?

[Buffettfan]

This is the changing of the gaurd. CBS (the oldstream media) no longer gets to decide what the politically correct news shall be for the day. The newstream media (Fox, talkradio, and the blogs) will reveal what is really happening out there in our world. In other words, we will do their job for them.

[demkicker]

I dunno. You know what they say about teaching old dogs new tricks.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

You know that guy could make millions doing commercials, actually, he would be a hoot to watch.

[TennesseeGirl]

Hmmm, I wonder if Heyward is who Neal Cavuto was referring to in his closing remarks when he was musing about karma and someone who was fired yesterday and deserved it because of the way this person stabbed his co-workers in the back on his climb to the top?

[OregonRancher]

He'd be a hoot on "Got Milk?"
