As I recall, Brit Hume left ABC for his current position at FOX, and he made a good choice.

I believe that if a true newsman or woman, not a biased hack, usually good looking, were in an anchor chair, that person would be a big success.
The key is bias. I don’t think one of the three major broadcast network news departments could put together an objective newscast.

Agreed. But the leftwing media is going to fight to the bitter, bitter end.

Did the consultant who advised CBS to sign Couric also advise Mercedes to pay $37 billion for Chrysler?

It’s like the central thesis of Michael Medved’s “Hollywood Vs. America,” the plaudits of their colleagues mean more to them than the patronage of us commonweals.
Only tinseltown is partially wising up. There are many more family-friendly movies out now than in ‘92 when Medved’s book was published.

They are blind to their biases And, even worse in a free market world, they are blind to their audience.

“The era of the mega-star anchor has come to an end”
Whats a mega-star anchor?
I don't think I have seen the ABC/CBS/NBC evening news in over 10 years, maybe 15.
With FOX and the internet, I can’t imagine why anyone watches that drivel.
Since I have been in Europe, I don’t even watch FOX and have not missed a thing. I can get all I want on FR and other sites.

They are in their own reality at 'Blackrock'. They long for audience sizes like Cronkite used to get, but the whole market has changed. No network will get numbers like Cronkite, let alone CBS.
It is good to watch them tank.

That’s how much Lebron James makes.
Let’s see him read the news as well as she does.

Son of Gloria (one more facelift she’ll be wearing a goatee) Vandervilt. What a transparent phony.

CBS could hire a Republican for a fraction of Courics bucks and get twice the ratings. But then Perky follows the party line.
To: Anti-Bubba182
This chart has a further interesting number hidden in it. Add all the three networks together and their viewership is less than 7% of the US population. That must be way down from, say, the 70’s. The whole network news format is dying, not just CBS’s latest incarnation.

Katie Couric or THIS? The video is infinitly more fascinating. Thank you for that!

Sounds like Williams and Gibson need better agents.

Rush is also on 3 hours a day. 15 hours in week compared to 2.5 hours a week for a half hour newscast, more airtime = more ad revenue. Rush’ salary is a drop in the bucket when you consider the ad revenue and syndication fees for his show.

Network television, as it is known today, will cease to exist by the end of this decade or shortly thereafter.

It’s hard to be youthfully cute when you’re fiftyish.
