A Cheap Trick To Get Me To Watch TV News

CBS President Les Moonves may replace Dan Rather with multiple anchors, and won't rule out Jon Stewart!

Asked twice, Moonves wouldn't rule out a role on the evening news for Comedy Central's Jon Stewart, whose 'The Daily Show' skewers politicians and the news media each night. Moonves is co-chief executive of Viacom, which owns both CBS and Comedy Central."
Lotsa Daily Show clips here.

What's Phillips, 50? It's been a long time since Dateline blew up trucks. If CBS doesn't walk out of there with Lauer or Couric, the peacock picked their pocket.

Ailes thinks he can buy first place. But teleprompters are read between the commercials, not in some bank.

Hey, how about this longshot for Rather's spot:

Geraldo.

I think he's a free agent.

This proves you're off in your own kandy-koated world, El Duque. Must be nice in la-la land, where gumdrops grow on taffy trees AND BARBARA WALTERS ISN'T ON THE JUICE.

She and you are the only two people in the world who are still in denial about this. How long do you think her record ratings will stand after she has to pee into a cup? Because that day is coming, El Duque, whether you admit it or not.

Can we go back to the CBS situation? Because the clock is ticking, and not the one that means 60 Minutes will be back after this laxative commercial. If I'm Moonves, I go after Couric and I offer cash, Steve Kroft and the chick on King Of Queens.

I really think CBS needs to go with someone who'll improve their credibility, like Carrot Top or Ted Kaczynski.
