"This Week" hasn't been the same since David Brinkley left. And the only reason I even tape it is to listen to what George Will has to say.

I have always liked "This Week." They are the only broadcast news show that bothered to include a REAL conservative on their panel. Before Kristol turned weird they almost had two. I also liked Sam (a major personality, imo...and I love those silly eyebrows) and Cokie, though I thought one of them should have been a conservative. They were not so hard-left that they couldn't discuss both sides of issues, although they didn't always recognize that a conservative side existed.

Still, Stephanopoulos has a boring delivery. It just says to the audience "THIS GUY WAS PICKED BECAUSE HE'S A LIBERAL."

The one function TV news performs very well is that when there is no news we give it to you with the same emphasis as if there were.
