Just wait a few hours after "The Early Show," after syndicated talk show(s), Drew Carey, local midday news, "Young and Restless" and "Bold and Beautiful"--for "The Talk," which is actually boasting about its "complete coverage" of the Anthony trial, although it's mostly clips and Leah, Sara, Sharon, Holly and the day's guest host (Chenbot's on vacation/"Big Brother" season preparation) chattering about the clips. Of course, "The Talk," like "ET" and "The Insider," comes from the entertainment division, even if they did have as guest hosts last week female anchors from CBS-owned stations in LA, Dallas/Ft. Worth (KTVT is licensed to Ft. Worth), NY, Boston and Philly, who brought their limited news knowledge with them (although I did like Pat Harvey of KCBS/KCAL LA when she worked in Chicago at WGN). -- TV or Not TV ....
