By the end of this decade or shortly thereafter, television networks as we know them today will cease to exist. After the '08 elections, ABC, NBC, and CBS will eliminate their evening news broadcasts.

Given their bias, and in some cases their out right rigging of the “news” for the benefit of the Democrat Party, it can’t happen soon enough.

If only Jon Klien had left his pajamas behind at CBS. I mean there's talemnt in his pajamas, but he took them to CNN. And CBS News get the CNN guy who at one time held Jon Klien's job at CNN.
There's a reality show somewhere in all of that manuvering, perhaps a show called "Loser Swap".

"...Pelly was a candidate to replace embattled anchor Dan Rather"
I'd hate to be the guy who nixed that idea.

Rick Kaplan, I had to look that loser's name. He's fallen so far so fast nobody remembers him.
Maybe he was brought in by Moonves to really, really tank CBS News so that they could switch to something that brings in money instead of hemorrhaging it?

After the '08 elections, ABC, NBC, and CBS will eliminate their evening news broadcasts. Agreed. The whole format is as obsolete as newsreels. The networks could make more money if the ran a game show in the same time slot.

"I heard that Mary Mapes (of all people) tore into Katie Kouric yesterday."
She said that Couric's delivery just made people uncomfortable becase she sounds like she's been kidnapped, drugged and is reading a hostage letter. Pretty spot on, really.

That can’t do that, the anchor spot is now a woman’s seat. SeeBS is Constitutionally constrained to nominate a woman to replace Ruth Bader ..., whoops, wrong token ... ah, make that Perky Katie.

The whole format is as obsolete as newsreels.SeeBS ought to save some money by just rerunning Cronkite's authoritarian shtick. Given drive-by-media's obsessive Iraq as Vietnam story telling Cronkite's old broadcasts stand a fair shot at passing for news in the senile moonbat Perky watching community.

If only. That would add 10 years to my life. But, I dont see that happening. How, could we be so lucky.

If Pelly doesn’t work out, they could call Connie Chung.

Never heard of Pelly, Couric, Chung.... The blue movies I get from Canada for free are more interesting.
