It's simple really. They throw out all that "journalistic integrity" type stuff and pass the savings on to their advertisers. ;o)

Air America did it with the help of a contributor, wonder who’s sinking money into CBS?

If they hired a respectable journalist like Brit Hume or Tony Snow they would rocket to number 1 in no time. I really believe this. I don’t know if the total evening news viewers would increase, but I’m sure viewers from ABC and NBC would quickly switch loyalties.

By the time they are broadcast here in Utah(5 pm MST) what could they possibly add that isn't on a million new web sites? I'm actually shocked that there are still around 20 million people who watch these shows!

>> More good news.
For US, it IS good news.
But Katie, I have some GOOD news, and some BAD news.
The BAD news: you’d better start getting that resume ready, hon.
The GOOD news: about the gig at CBS, you can say you “broke records”.
P.S. I sure get a kick out of that smiling hyena pic!

“Network evening newscasts will go dark after the ‘08 elections and their news divisions disbanded.”
I hope you’re right.
I see snippets of Couric sometimes, due to my preferred local news/weather being on CBS just before and after her, but I leave the room - it’s too close to my dinner to see her. One I heard a week or so ago, she mentioned the Bush tax cuts in some present context and said, “The tax cuts, which were intended for the rich but are now affecting middle-class taxpayers....” just slipped that in cool as you please. Almost subliminal. They think nobody notices. Actually, I guess few do.

The correct headline would be “Still searching for a CLUE at CBS”
They cannot be so stupid that they have not figured out a totally conservative newscast would be a ratings windfall, can they?
The must not really care about ratings, or only thing rating matter for liberal hogwash.

We regret to inform you that the proposed Democratic Presidential Debate scheduled for April 27 has been cancelled due to time constraints and logistical issues associated with such a large, national event...Katie's lack of courage. . . . There were also growing concerns about what another debate would do to party unity.

If I can recall Katie was the person who wore black when President Bush was inaugurated the first time. Since I don’t know anybody Conservative at CBS(even CNN has Glenn Beck), I am grateful that the whole chute may open. Hopefully she might be replaced by Rush Limbaugh.
