Dan Rather is a grumpy old man.

Nine months—eh. Normally that is an eternity in TV ratings land. But perhapse in Les’ land of the ratings sinkhole, it seems little more than a .... “pregnant” pause.

Rather’s comments were fake but accurate.

I love honest reporters and commentators like Laura Ingraham. It is phony liberals like Couric I despise. I must be a "sexist."

Even some at CBS didn’t want Couric. She has made a huge mistake and it’s just a matter of time before changes are made.

Rather said "the mistake was to try to bring the 'Today' show ethos to the 'Evening News,' and to dumb it down, tart it up in hopes of attracting a younger audience."

Trust us, Dan ... SeeBS news was no smarter when you were there.

"dumbing it down, tarting it up,"

Well, they did that when they put Dan in the anchor chair.

Never thought I would see a tabloid news article about a disgruntled former employee trashing their successor. What next? Same former employee giving advice on how they should fix it? /s

How do they expect to reach a “younger” audience with a botoxed 50something????? Who’s best know for her “perkiness” and her completely liberal bias???

If this is how CBS thinks they will reach a “younger” audience, then they are even dumber than I thought.

Here’s a freaking IDEA CBS.. how about you just report the news, no commentary, no slant, no trying to tie every report to El Nino, or Global Warming, or any other crap. Just HERE ARE THE FACTS.. next story?

Why don’t you twits give that a try??? How about when an interview is being done we don’t see cut aways to the INTERVIEWERS face???? Why do I care what his or her facial expressions are???

How about stop trying to MAKE news, and simply report it?

Sexist indeed. The men at CBS news are as much tarts as any of the women.
