"... but can you imagine anyone having a choice between us and Charlie Gibson on ABC going with us if/when there is another terrorist attack?”

Now, I'm not a highly paid TV exec or anything like that, but don't you think the time to ask this question was BEFORE you hired this lightweight?

Hey, maybe we could get new careers in New York as TV executives! Myself, I would work for 1/4 their salaries, and I would guarantee instant ratings success or they could keep their money.

Here is the answer:

1. Start covering the Republicans as something other than fascist crooks who oppress the common man.

2. Start giving the military some positive stories (a feature three nights a week on overseas units and what they have been doing would be a good start).

3. Actual investigative stories on topics pertinent to all Americans, such as HOW oil prices are REALLY determined, rather than the moonbat conspiracy theories.

4. Institute a "no Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter" policy for the first 60 days.

5. Admit that the TANG story about Bush was a fraud, and offer an honest apology.
