The evening news is no longer a profit center. It’s a propaganda mill subsidized by sports and a handful of profitable prime time shows.

Wouldn’t know. I only watch the local news cast if some local breaking news or sever weather is occurring or I know they filmed something I was interested in and want to see the actual news segment. Other than that I have no needed to spend 30 minutes watching TV to gr less info than it 10 minutes online.
We have Direct TV satellite, and the NBC and CBS stations are not being delivered because of some contractual disagreements with Direct TV. It has been like this for a few weeks now.............
my thoughts exactly...
The viewership of the Evening News has gotten older and older in the last few decades. Why wait for that program when you can get the latest news on your cellphone?
“Evening News is going the way of the Dodo Bird.”
personally, i haven’t watched evening news for at least 25 years ...
“Who says there’s no good news anymore!?!?”
LOL!
I know Glor. I had no opinion of him either way though he was among, in my opinion, the least dramatic of the 3 network news broadcasts.
Apparently ratings with Glor were falling and he became the sacrificial lamb.
Whatever the reason for falling rating Norah O’Donnell was a poor replacement. One viewing confirms this.
That ratings took a nose dive is no surprise. What's surprising is she was picked in the first place. What were they thinking?
“Our local station is over a hundred miles away in Mobile Alabama so they have nothing on that we watch as far as news goes..........”
Oakland and Gay/Poo infested Frisco are an hour+ away and San Jose is another 30 minutes away.
Neither area has any reality with any human not living in those areas with the stations.
My Wunderground Weather is on 24/7 via the tablet 2 feet away from my Lazy Boy.
As you and others posted, Free Republic has the real news.
So there is zero need for any fake or non relevant news.
At last......CCRM is vindicated
I also only watch the local news. All of the networks (and I include Fox in this) have a preset news formula. Everything they do is framed around it.
It’s hard for them to make comments about the weather or a local event. Unless they try to put it into the bigger context. It’s hard for them to blame Trump for a house burning or a flood. But of course they will always blame global warming for everything.
They should just start the national news by saying everything bad in the news today was caused by global warming and Trump. Anything good in the news was brought to you by liberalism, socialism and communism.
Evening news is a glorified newspaper. News that happens at 10:00 am is already old news at 6:30
Hope they bring back Glor.
I totally agree with you.
Glor was the best of the recent CBS anchors.
He was fair and respectful, as was evidenced by his interviews with PDJT.
The evening news is no longer a profit center. It’s a propaganda mill subsidized by sports and a handful of profitable prime time shows.

Sports subsidizes fake news? What’s more important — sports, or America?
I don’t think the network news divisions were ever a profit center. Their costs were always hidden.
I didn’t watch even one second, of course.
But for all of us who missed it here is the transcript of all 7 weeks:
Trump is a liar, millions of voters in swing states now oppose Trump,Trump crimes passed over earlier but Nadler to re-investigate them, impeachment cries from everyday Americans growing louder, Trump a bumbling senile President....
I’ll bet a nickel that covered most of it, over and over each night.
CBS news has gone all lib.
They don’t even try to fake impartiality anymore.
I suspect CBS believed Glor was too middle of the road and in order to attract viewers they needed someone who could narrate every story as opinion and high drama which seems to be the hallmark of all tv anchors.
They're looking for hysteria. O’Donnell fits the bill but doesn't have the 'likeability' factor of other anchors.
I’ll shorten it for you, “Orange Man Bad!”
