Although who could blame him -- 4 more years of repeating government propaganda and trying to pass it off as news.

Maybe he can speak out more forcefully without fear of losing his job.

5. Stepping down or Thrown Out? |
|
Do you think maybe, he was told to step down that his performance was not low enough for the new standards of journalisim? There will be no truth telling in this news agency!
And why is this breaking on ABC? sounds pretty strange.

8. Notice they put the article in the Entertainment section? |
|
That should say something about news in country! If the news organizations view their news boadcast as entertainment, then that is exactly how it should be consumed. Not one shred should be considered factual.

9. Here's Hoping John Roberts Gets The Nod... |
|
That will tell me where things are going.
What's the Frequency Kenneth hinted a while ago he was planning to "cut back" his responsibilities (I remember seeing this on a C-SPAN panel thingee) and he mentioned that Roberts was being groomed to take over just like Braindead Williams is being prepped for Brokaw's chair.
Of course the Freeps will dance and think this is a byproduct of the election, we'll see how Les Moonves and his CBS/Viacom buddies react. If they bring up Roberts that convinces me this was the plan for a while, if it's someone else, there might be some smoke to watch out for.
