MarketWatch is no longer CBS. It’s WSJ.

The interview with Gibson may be remembered as the first brick being pulled out of the wall.

Gibson, as dignified a newsperson as America has now, treated Palin fairly and didn't resort to hectoring her with "gotcha" questions, either.

But Gibson didn't try to trip her up.

Gibson treated her with the respect befitting a vice presidential candidate.

Some analysts have suggested that Gibson knew more about the Bush Doctrine than the vice-presidential candidate.

Boy, is this guy sucking up hard to get invited to the next Gibson Family Barbecue.

The debates will cure any doubt about the Palin Phenomenon.

The MSM keeps doing exactly what we need them to do by deriding and criticizing Sarah thus setting up lowered expectations.

All she has to do is step up to the mic, be articulate informed and real. She wins by exceeding expectations.

BO on the other hand is cursed and burdened by the MSM trying to prop him up as THE ONE! Expectations are sky high. Those are big shoes to fill even for the most capable individual...and BO ain't any where close.

Found a snippet of an interview with the intrepid Mr. Friedman.

What blogs do you read?
Romenesko, Media Bistro, HuffPo, I Want Media, Jeff Jarvis, Gawker, The Borowitz Report, PaidContent and a few others.

In true CBS style, Marketwatch hires a snarky PR guy who gets his information from HuffPo and lets him act like he's a foreign policy expert.

NYSE: CBS is "doomed"
