6. No surprise there

Right wing goons have wanted to destroy theri news department ever since the Tet Offensive in 1968 and Walter Cronkite blurted out "What the hell is going on over theree? I thought we were winning the war," just cluing in Middle America that they were being lied to by nearly everybody in the government. CBS ruined their nasty war in SE Asia.

They blinked afterthey tried it with Couric doing guest interviews, the first one with Limbaugh. When viewers changed the channel and advertiserts fled, that ended abruptly. That twit Weiss is going to leave them with even worse things, like years of civil rights lawsuits because of just who she's been firing while hanging on to conservative white males.

It won't make any difference, the viewers won't be coming back, not this time. Real journalism was being smothered by corporate monopolies and has moved online.
