Sounds like the kind of thing you do just before you shut down the newsroom.

15 years is a long time in the TV network world. He lasted longer than Seinfeld, and longer than MASH.

Anyone using a name like Stone Phiips deserves to get cut off at the pass. Just another liberal “journalist” getting his butt fired. Good riddance to him.

“Ann Curry is a cutie.”
I think she’s the best news-person on television.
She can interview anyone, never have seen her act superior via her questioning. She can be funny and works “on her feet.”

I’m not surprised by this. Most animatronics are terribly expensive to maintain (even the primitive ones like Stone).

I wondered... if it's a sting operation, how come they are not required to read the perp his rights before they interview him?

Is that the program where they entrap a could be pedophile on film and then say "surprise! you're on candid camera?"
Entrapment is illegal; they are not entrappped.

Because the perp has not been arrested yet. An interview is not an arrest.

I saw Stone on TV last night, and mentioned to Mr. TOL how surprised I was to see how “old” Stone looked. Oh well, I guess he will make someone a nice pet rock now. :-)

IMHO I think they dropped Stone because he is not “touch,feely” enough for today’s audiences. People want feeling, the sympathetic sounding voice with personal and pitying sounding words sent out in a pitiable way. Stone reported the story, no elaboration and with no identifying touchy, feely words or body language. In my second humble opinion, I think he is the most handsome man ever to be a reporter for the MSM. Good luck Stone!

It comes rather close to entrapment for entertainment purposes.
To: DeFault User
what will the executives do to amuse themselves?I predict they will create a new reality show: "So you wanna be a news anchor?" But we won't get to vote out on the winner.

I always had the impression that Phillips was just hired for his looks, voice and name. Lately he has been looking much older. Maybe that has something to do with it.
