Another devastating loss for CBS. 60 Minutes hasn't been the same since Don Hewitt left

And CBS News used to be the best with Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather. I used to work with CBS and the 60 Minutes publicist was the best. And my news contact was Dan Rather's publicist. What a sad ending for one of the best news programs in history...

So much negative change in so short a time... No wonder we are all left stammering and unsure what to do next.

When I was in Mass General for surgery, one of my favorites actually called me. It's a very sad time for accurate news with the felon-in-chief bullying network news, especially CBS.
