They all work for the democrat party and every anti American cause.

It is no wonder that there is no stomach and a declining market for biased news.

This is what happens when your integrity disappears and never returns.

People turn away.

Receptionist? More like a spy if you ask me.

Couric is a viper.

CBS has no interest in profits. They are not a business enterprise — if they were, they would be seeking a new business model in an effort to turn their decline around. No, they are simply a propaganda outfit. Eventually, the government will subsidize them, so they aren’t overly concerned.

Sorry, seeBS. If it ain’t on FR, it ain’t worth knowin’.

I find that I am always 12 hours to six days ahead of my spouse, who only listens to NPR and CNN.

I am better informed from a variety of perspectives as well.

CBS (Viacom) may be the only network that does not have Saudi/UAE shareholders or ME deals like the other networks and their parent companies.

Amazing. All they have to do is report the news. Even liberals want to know what is going on. They are even watching FOX.

I’m just getting into this book, a history of the big three networks in the mid to late 80s. At that time, the news divisions were big money-losers. I can’t imagine that they have since turned that around.

I have a solution for CBS. Hire some conservative anchors and producers and watch your ratings soar.

They'd rather die as a dismal failing liberal rag than survive and provide jobs and viability as a more conservative news organ that a generally conservative or at least a moderate viewership wants. So be it.

Soon it will be the all/total Catie show.

She will direct, produce, write, use cameras on herself and control everything for her mentally ill sycophant fans.

Couric has been a ratings loser everywhere she goes, but she still has companies wanting to hire her. I don’t get it.
