Yes, they made the mistake of thinking Clinton was the draw, when the problem was getting an opponent interesting enough to overcome their repulsions and watch Bill anyway.

still blaming others/and the weather of all things,

Yes.  They should take a page from the federal government
and make sure the ratings get seasonally adjusted.  No more
problem.

Let me tell you what I think contributed to this decision.

The ONLY time I saw it, Dole kicked Clinton's a$$!
It's the only venue I've ever seen Dole EFFECTIVELY go on the attack and win.

I don't thing CBS likes that outcome, irrespective of ratings.

When two comics can't stand up without an assist from Viagara-it's not funny.

Dole is the one with the pen-Clinton is the one who should be in the pen.

The only show I'd like to see Clinton on is Monica's new show. Now that would be entertaining.

I disagree. Don Hewitt, at least, knows better. Sadly, it's not about ratings at all.

Well damn. Thus may end one of the most ambitious scientific experiments of all time. Although it is popular orthodoxy that time-travel is impossible, 60 MINUTES has stood theoretical physics on its head by leaping back to November 1996 each and every Sunday.

This is why we can't enslave ourselves to market forces in all cases. When we cave to terrible Nielson ratings, important research work like this suffers.

hewitt so deserves this failure since it was he who allowed both clintoons to lie to the public during that stupid and unprecedented Super Bowl interview. hewitt knew they were lying and later boasted about it. Proves what the looney liberal left is capable of to protect their evil agenda. hewitt is an ass____.

Dont kid yourself Clinton was not dumped. the mainstream media adore him and would keep him on forever. I would bet you a dollar he wanted out because HE KNEW HE WAS A FAILURE AT DRAWING AN AUDIENCE!!!! that is what so good about it. He saw first hand people could give a f##k what he says or does anymore.

Re:Just imagine Anne Coulter vs BJ Clinton once a week.

In order to comply with FR by-laws, section 4, paragraph 7 stating that any mention of our beloved Ann Coulter must be acompanied by her image, I propher the following image for your exclusive viewing pleasure.

How many millions did it take for them to learn that they made another mistake? Guess it's straight back to Harlem.
