Hey, maybe we could get new careers in New York as TV executives! Myself, I would work for 1/4 their salaries, and I would guarantee instant ratings success or they could keep their money.

Here is the answer:

1. Start covering the Republicans as something other than fascist crooks who oppress the common man.

2. Start giving the military some positive stories (a feature three nights a week on overseas units and what they have been doing would be a good start).

3. Actual investigative stories on topics pertinent to all Americans, such as HOW oil prices are REALLY determined, rather than the moonbat conspiracy theories.

4. Institute a "no Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter" policy for the first 60 days.

5. Admit that the TANG story about Bush was a fraud, and offer an honest apology.

Darn, Mz Marbles,

There you go with all that rational objective logic again.

You are obviously NOT suited to work in TV news.

6. Be original. During the evening news (half) hour, I can channel-surf ABC, CBS, and NBC and see the same news story at the same time on all three networks. They also have sychronized advertising!

It happens so often I'm starting to think they call each other up before the broadcast to check.

She'll do the opposite... Couric'll become cBS's' Olbermann before she pitches straight news.

Excellent! If they were to do that I might even tune in myself. In my time zone I think they compete with Shepard Smith.
