Dropped him like a...

well, like a...

I dunno, they just dropped him.

Pinging with more Dinosaur Fatalities due to tar pit activity!

Wow

Katy Couric, call your office..........

After they fire all the news anchors, janitors, and secretaries, what will the executives do to amuse themselves?

“”The Phillips move was similar in that the network is concentrating money on reporting and more versatile personalities.””

IOW, Phillips was not “versatile”...an empty suit.

Ann Curry is good. I like her.

He sank like a ...... stone....... in the ratings, I guess!

Chris Hansen's "To Catch a Predator"

Is that the program where they entrap a could be pedophile on film and then say "surprise! you're on candid camera?"

[PugetSoundSoldier]

Say what you will about the man, he had one of the best journalist names ever - I mean, come on... STONE!

[RexBeach]

Hey, Stone! You had this gig for 15 years! Whadayya want?

[Brilliant]

Sounds like the kind of thing you do just before you shut down the newsroom.

[geezerwheezer]

Anyone using a name like Stone Phiips deserves to get cut off at the pass. Just another liberal “journalist” getting his butt fired. Good riddance to him.

[Petronski]

I’m not surprised by this. Most animatronics are terribly expensive to maintain (even the primitive ones like Stone).

[kjo]

Isn’t Stone nearing 90?

[debboo]

IMHO I think they dropped Stone because he is not “touch,feely” enough for today’s audiences. People want feeling, the sympathetic sounding voice with personal and pitying sounding words sent out in a pitiable way. Stone reported the story, no elaboration and with no identifying touchy, feely words or body language. In my second humble opinion, I think he is the most handsome man ever to be a reporter for the MSM. Good luck Stone!

[wideminded]

I always had the impression that Phillips was just hired for his looks, voice and name. Lately he has been looking much older. Maybe that has something to do with it.

[samadams2000]

Pick your big chin up off the ground and get out there in the private sector Stone! Course, the wages wont be the same.

[Sloth]

He is being replaced by the much cheaper Particle Board Phillips.

You know, I might care, but I do not even watch the “major” networks anymore so I have never really seen his ‘work’. Actually, after spending 97-2000 in Germany with only AFN, I do not watch TV much at all. I came back to the USA and all I saw was garbage. I watch very little TV (1-2 hrs a week) and I think my life is much better.

After 9-11, all the networks put on was MORE garbage combined with “all-Bash Bush and lie about the war all the time”. Thus now I automatically flip past the “major” networks, CNN, MSNBC, and the other socialists to watch History, Discovery, and very few others. When I was in Iraq, the DFACs played CNN and all it did was sour my stomach and raise my blood pressure.

After being in Iraq and seeing the MSM lie about events I witnessed along with their propensity to know EXACTLY where a bomb will go off and have cameras ready, I could truly give a rat’s rear end about “poor Stone”.

This is not to say that I am not interested in the story. Far from it. It is one more indication that the People of the USA are waking up, though the media is still in denial. Now they just have to go and vote the left out of office. Staying home in 08 is NOT an option. Letting the leftists control Congress and the White House will cause nothing but pain for the world and America.

It was Stone Phillips who was exposed as the exploding GM gas tanks fraudulent anchor. I wonder why it took so long
