Is it safe to say that today Roberts lost whatever shot he had at the anchor desk?
At CBS? Riiight - he just gave his chances of getting that seat a huge boost. By tomorrow or the next day there will be a bunch of snarky articles in Editor & Publisher, the NYT, et al., sneering at us tight-assed right wingers who just don't have a sense of humor, as well as other pieces worrying about how the "far right" is gaining in influence and trampling all over the First Amendment rights of hard-working "journalists" speaking "truth to power for the American people" by forcing them to apologize for innocent remarks.
