Now I only watch ABC or NBC evening news. CBS news is dead to me!

No longer.

So sad that this program that has been a huge and important phenomenon for more than 50 years with great ratings has turned into a meaningless Entertainment Tonight wannabe.

Tony Dokoupil “We are going to listen to the people for our News information.” Instead
of reporting the facts.

Huh?

N/t

CBS is dead to me. And I'm sad to hear the rot had moved to the Sunday Morning Shw, I used to watch that.

Cant
Believe
Shit...

Complete
Bull
Shit

That's the TRUTH!

…. Russiagate. He did that less than a month after the White House’s “peace plan” for Russia’s war on
Ukraine was shown to be a direct translation from Russian to English.

Somewhere Eric Sevareid’s soul is crying. Eric was a hero to me years ago. His book Canoeing with
the Cree made an impression on me in my 20s. He and a High School Friend canoed from Minneapolis
to Hudson’s Bay after their Sr. year. If I remember right he was the American in Paris as the Nazis
marched in.

America doesn't have Reality based Newscasters.. no More.

I remember seeing Harry Reasner in a restaurant, in Asheville, NC, I worked in back in the early 70s. I was so happy to see him there.

Interesting about Eric Sevareid and Canoeing.. TY!

I cancelled all my M$M in November 2002. Bye

The Best Retired News Anchors

https://www.ranker.com/list/best-retired-news-anchors/ranker-tv

I watched 60 minutes even as a little guy with Mike, Morley, Harry, Ed and the rest, then came of age with Dan Rather, then Katie Couric, then Scott Pelley. CBS Sunday Mornings was a favorite for decades. I don't bother with any of it any more since they rolled over to play dead. How the mighty have fallen.

But I just couldn't believe what I was hearing this morning. I'd much prefer they'd just left that story alone.

We don't need to watch CBS. I am so disappointed in them.

I am the Internet politics nerd in our home -- we are in our 80's, wife is not tech-oriented and does not want to be. She is not aware of the Bari Weiss - CBS mess.

So -- this morning she sat down to watch CBS Sunday Morning. She turned it off after watching their Venezuela segment -- "They must think this was a good thing!!" Click.

Fuck them.

I loved 60 Minutes... and I used to love Survivor for the first 15 years or so.

They were stenographers for this maladministration. Turned that segment off.

First of all, I don't see a time frame, i.e. from when to now.

Beyond (much beyond) that, an increase in ratings of, for example, 1111% for CBS would mean they had an increase of viewers from around 100,000 to 1.1 million. I don't see people changing their viewing habits so dramatically, especially with well-established networks that have been around forever.

Did I get this wrong?

Thanks!

There are other links to network ratings on the internet as well to cross reference, if needed.

I'm not sure what your quire is. I don't know any more than what the link has stated for their findings of network ratings.

Have a good day.
