Last weekend CBS Sunday Morning had an interview with Sean Hannity by Ted Koppel. They aired about 1-1/2 minutes of the 45-50 minute interview with Sean. He foolishly did not record the interview himself and CBS (i.e. See BS) refuses to provide the original tape.

Charles Osgood retired from hosting the Sunday morning show last fall. I always considered him liberal but fair and enjoyed listening to him on the AM radio dial back in my 70’s college days. His replacement is Jane Pauley was host of NBC’s Today show in the 1980’s. Although her credentials also go way back, in my opinion she is tainted by her marriage to serious Trump hater and of all things conservative, cartoonist Garry Trudeau, the creator of Doonesbury.

My wife was commenting on how beautiful TS is. I said, she looks like a typical HWP mall rat with a makeover.

I dunno. Maybe my wife was setting me up. And I passed. :-)

Howard Beale, fictional newscaster in the film, Network, had it right:

"We're [television industry] in the boredom-killing business. We deal in illusion, man; none of it is real! We'll tell you any sh!t you want to hear!"

I'm kind of glad that network news shows no longer pretend to be fair or lay claim to 'hard-hitting reporting' or 'investigative journalism' and that they've done away with the Huntley-Brinkley/Cronkite model of serious avuncular newsmen one can 'trust'.

Now we're given straight-up brash buffoons; if we view them as anything other than the clowns they are, the fault lies with us.

Last weekend CBS Sunday Morning had an interview with

This week they were fetting Alex Balswin for his hateful spiteful Trump impression on SNL calling him genius and saying 75% of America loved it. PATHETIC, constant bombardment of fake anti-Trump "news".
