If I read something correctly yesterday it stated CBS viewers were up.
Strange world we live in or is it.
Not really.
I never watch CBS, but I have been watching the CBS evening news lately to see Dan Rather squirm and lie. It's a beautiful thing.
I imagine a lot of others, like me, are too. Therfore, the viewership goes up. Everyone loves to watch a train wreck.
Only as long as this lasts...after that, viewership is going to dive.
Right now it is a lot of rubber-necking at the bloody accident.
Did you ever see a car wreck on the highway?
If I read something correctly yesterday it stated CBS viewers were up.
Hopefully it's the same impulse that leads to rubbernecking on highways.
Of course more people are watching CBS. They want to see Dan fix his problem (or fall on his face).
The intersting thin is how the CBS reproters and staffers feel, knowing that they are a laughingstock. Over a period of months or years, this is going to hurt.
Not so surprising. It's the rubberneck effect. How often do you have a ringside seat to a slow motion corporate suicide?
The Romans flocked to the Colliseum when famous persons were scheduled for fights to the death, too.
