    I love old people. Like little kids, they speak the truth despite any attendant consequences.

    Andy Rooney to Katie: Welcome to CBS, Now Get Out
    Posted by Brian Boyd on April 5, 2006 - 12:17.

    In an appearance today on "Imus in the Morning," Andy Rooney quickly turned down the temperature in the CBS newsroom.

    Don Imus: "So what do you think of these changes at CBS News?"

    Andy Rooney: "I’m not enthusiastic about it. I think everybody likes Katie Couric, I mean how can you not like Katie Couric. But, I don’t know anybody at CBS News who is pleased that she’s coming here."
    "Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever they can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser; in fees, expenses and waste of time." -- Abraham Lincoln, (1809-1865) Lawyer and President who saved the United States.

    Her tiny cuteness has worn out. She'll do ok until people realize the details are all they need after work. Unfortunately, the evening "news" could become the equivalent of the morning fluff shows; full of intimate interviews with people who's life and misfortune don't personally effect anyone watching. This is exactly the direction news is headed. Sensational, ain't it?

    If it works, Katie, bar the door.

    But I hear she's been working on her "serious & concerned" face.
    You tell me it's the institution. Well, you know, you'd better free your mind instead.

    Shiefer really hasn't been the same since his coverage of the Spanish American War.

    On the bright side, after the report of leading economic indicators and the probability of the feds moving the interest rates up another quarter of a percent, we'll be treated to a live make over session, or better yet, a camera team catching her next mammogram.

    What's CBS paying her? NBC was shelling out $16 million for her on Today. I understand that she's a real bitch to the people who work for her.

    It would be awesome to get her to participate on the poop threads.

    I bet she's been known to royally stink up the ladie's room outside Studio 1A at Rockefeller Plaza

    No wonder Rooney don't want her over there.

    She's making the same at CBS. From what NPR was saying, it sounded like she wanted the prestige of doing the nightly news over extra money.

    I predict male America watching TV News after work will abandon CBS in droves and they will tank further into the third place they are currently in...

    CBS had a deecent thing in Sheiffer (sp?). Vargas on ABC is no better.
    Everything progressives do is aimed at weakening democracy, capitalism and the social and cultural institutions that support those things...... They are about subjugating people and being a ruling class.

    Does anyone still watch the evening news anyway? Even if I were home by 6:00, I would not waste the remaining daylight hours watching something I can get 24/7 on 20 other channels or the internets. Especially, if the anchor is a smurf.

    The CBS News dept. is so depressing, even the local CBS station's local news here in PHX(ch 5) is perpetually on a downer.
