1. "Its been coming for a long time." The embedded Page 6 link says they reported it in December

For my part, I grew up on HUNTLEY-BRINKLY, never warmed to CRONKITE, then I liked Dan RATHER while he was a reporter facing off with Tricky Dick, but his *delivery* was DEADLY as an anchor, and this PELLEY dude combines the worst of the deadly delivery without RATHER's background with Tricky Dick. I don't know what is behind the CBS deadly delivery mode - taking the gravitas of MURROW to the extreme? After HUNTLEY-B, it was all JENNINGS after his early trial was over. It's been nobody since.

2. I Only Watch Him On "60 Minutes"...

At Least He's Still There.

3. Too bad. He was calling out Dump lies before other networks.

His undoing?

4. Ratings. Pelley's been third.

That's all it ever is. Well, mostly. Sometimes it's typewriter kerning, or a head wound in Iraq or a difficult pregnancy combined with an ultimatum from an alpha male.

But it's almost always about the ratings.
