Charlie Gibson needs to get off Sarah Palin’s back. It looks like he has an agenda. Could it be he is working for the democratic party to which I once belonged, but am now an Independent? These people need to be more professional and leave their biases at home when reporting the news. I’ll never forget Charlie looking down his nose while interviewing Palin. I guess that was to let us know he didn’t approve of her. Nice to know you can trust the news media to be fair and balanced. That was sarcasm, in case you didn’t know.

Katie Currick is out of her league – viewers know it, ratings show it. Brian Williams isn’t doing much better. They both are better suited for morning T.V. discussing the latest diet plans or the new spring shoe fashions. They just are not journalists. They belong on the View where their opinions can be expressed without bother of pretending to be anything more than talking puppets of the extreme liberal left. It is no wonder their view ratings are poor. Throw in Letterman with those two and you have a perfect triade of pseudo intellectuals not connecting with the audiences they wish they had. If only the average person were intelligent enough to relize how dumb he is and thus open our minds to being educated what to think by Katie, Williams and Letterman. I’m sure they believe it is a shame we are not enlightened enough to appreciate their style and substance.

CBS and Katie ought to get a big boost from their Palin and Palin-McCain exclusives. I disagree with Cameron about Brokaw; I can only stand watching NBC now that that phoney-baloney elitist snoot Brokaw is gone, and I turn it off when he makes appearances (which are too frequent). I only watch ABC for George Stephanopolos. Charlie Gibson and Diane Sawyer both make my skin crawl.

The times they are a changing! With Brokaw gone NBC News is vulnerable and the audience is up for grabs. It also doesn’t help that NBC doesn’t have strong shows in primetime to give its news bulletin a helping hand.
