12.17.07 3:46pm (EST)
Good afternoon and I beg your pardon for the mass e-mail:
It's with mixed feelings that I share the information that -- effective as of mid-afternoon last Friday -- I have been let go at CBSNews.com in a "restructuring" of the Interactive division. ('Restructuring': the "downsized" of the new millennium.)
Why the mixed feelings, then? Well, to paraphrase Mark Twain, one should write while angry and disappointed, but edit with a bit of remove.
So with a weekend of simmering, I'm able to say that while I enjoyed my time as Co-Editor and then Editor of the "Public Eye" Web site -- I walked in insisting I was an 'online columnist' but then, months later, admitted to being a "blogger" -- I now am looking forward to a new challenge and a new opportunity.
If you have any suggestions, feedback or random thoughts/musings, feel free to reach out. I look forward to hearing them.
Many thanks and Happy Holidays,
Matthew T. Felling

Good one!
So SeeBS News is killing their link to the new media? Is this their way of modernizing?
I guess SeeBS is going to BE the Grinch this Christmas rather than just airing the Grinch.
It’s hard to feel sympathetic for anyone who was willing to be part of the monsterous hypocracy that is CBS.
Show us your pj’s. your not a real blogger without them
Golly, this doesn’t bother me a bit....
Maybe this...

is the real reason CBS let him go. Wouldn’t surprise me.
I don't see Felling or CBS mentioned at all.
Since I don't "do" SeeBS, did Felling fall offthe wrong side of the bandwagon at "Public Eye"?
Xacly.
listen stooopid... start your own blog, course if nobody wants to read your dribble, well... Would you like Fry's with that???
Sweet!
