abc is the bushnetwork

How interesting that for the past 40 odd years, so-called "News Anchors" have come not from journalism but from ENTERTAINMENT.

Tom Brokaw, that paragon of Cronkiteness, worked the Today Show with Jane Pauley. He was good at it, BTW.

Gibson was also a morning man.

Sawyer did magazine pieces with Charles Kuralt on Sunday Morning. Also quite good, IMHO.

Last "real" newsman was Peter Jennings.

Dan Rather, but he was assasssinated.
RIP Dan we still have hopes THE TRUTH you know will some day be your ticket back.
