Interesting side note. What, if anything, do you know about his/their politics?
More of that great, wry Texan humor? {g}
OK, let's consider the question with the utmost seriousness requiring we reverse engineer the facts.
"...a move away from what he called the "voice of God" anchor."
What's rattling around inside the empty cranium of someone who'd *perceive* Blather in this way?
What're his politics because after all it'll be this guy who chooses, eh?
"At one point Mr. Moonves was quoted suggesting that he would like to blow up CBS News entirely."
Yessssss!
"Yesterday, Mr. Moonves said that comment was never serious and he had made it 'out of frustration.'"
Nooooooo!
"That he wants changes at CBS News is still true; but with Mr. McManus, the longtime head of the CBS sports division, he has installed a solid, highly respected mainstream broadcast executive, not a revolutionary."
HA!!
Meet the "new" Boss.
...same as the old Boss. ;^)
