Respectfully disagree. I look to the anchor of a network newscast to deliver needed information in a timely manner. Yes, the internet can drop facts in our laps, but what a newscast, newspaper, or magazine functions to do (or ought to) is serve as a filter, to dismiss the wikis and blogs, and to deliver what matters (and what has been verified) in a way that makes sense. Letterman would make a horrific anchor; he does what he does behind a very different desk, and that's as it should be. -- Kevin M. (RPCV) -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
