Jim Lehrer says he's retiring as a regular anchor of PBS' "NewsHour" broadcast after 35 years.

After 52 years in journalism, Lehrer said Thursday that "there comes a time to step aside from the daily process, and that day has arrived." His exit will take place the week of June 6.

Definitely a big annoying, misinformed lib, but I have to say, I loved the skit he did with Dave Chappele about the blind black white-supremest.

Hilarious.

The most surprising thing about this is that this guy was still on TV. I figured he bailed soon after Learher. These two stooges ran the most boring 1/2 hour known to television since the test pattern.

I truly enjoy the News Hour.

Good debate from people who aren’t the pretty talking heads you see on most cable news, and nobody yells at anyone else. Polite and thoughtful.

Of course, I’m one of those people who isn’t afraid to hear differing viewpoints.

Those who disagree with me aren’t evil, just wrong — and if I want them to listen to me, I’m willing to listen to them. Educates me for persuasive debate.

The next way to improve the show would be to push off that old windbag Mark Shields. He beautifully illustrates that there is no fool like an old fool.

After that, get rid of David Brookes (R-Lite) and get a real conservative.

He’ll still be a talking corpse for the libs. Not only is this senile, old fart be around, probably obama will tap him to be a seniors czar.

David Brooks, successor to Paul Gigot as the token consertative. Gigot destoyed the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal. It was all amnesty, all the time with him.
