O’Reilly a news anchor?? Not true while he was on Fox.
These days it’s Jeff Glor and David Muir. Spare me.
I always marveled how anchors could stretch their tenures, years into decades (like an east-bloc premier), as if it made their lies any more palatable. Popular shows would come and go, but Cronkite, Reasoner, Brinkley, Brokaw, Rather, Jennings, and McNeil-Lehrer would just drone on and on, night after night.

Don’t suppose weather girls in bikinis are on the horizon.
Sigh.
Frankly, I am looking forward to the news robot.
I remember the night I stopped watching the alphabet nightly news.
Good old Dan Rather told the masses that every economist had disavowed Reagonomics.
My adult brain told me that Dan had not interviewed every economist is the US, let alone the world. That meant he had to be lying.
Megyn Kelly did her part.
Amen.
The whole “action news team” style is obsolete. We don’t need “anchors” to dictate to us what is newsworthy. We find our own sources and we have millions of reporters with smart phones, roaming the streets, ready to deliver when news happens.
When I think anchor, I think Brokaw, Jennings and Rather. At least those were the guys in place last time I watched a network news show. Overpaid flunkies who read off a teleprompter. I grew up with Walter Cronkite. Another overpaid newsreader though he probably had to read off paper as I don't think that had teleprompters back then.
I'm glad that era is over.
The 3 guys pictured in the article look creepy.
It was killed by Dan Ratherbiased’s obvious attempt to steal the 2004 election with fakenews documents.
I don’t know. but maybe its because I was 18 and 2004 was my first election. but Dan Rather sure did a lot to speed up this process.. lol
