2. Dickerson has been on Gwen Ifill's Friday night news roundup on PBS for some time.
He'll do a decent job, but I was expecting Norah Roberts.
I don't watch CBS news enough to get a sense of those reporters who are persons of color who might have taken over. |

3. But two recent changes put blacks in lead positions
Nightly Show and Daily Show both defy that. And more young people get current events from those sources than the networks.

4. This is good news
I think Larry Wilmore is doing a really good job. I have a little problem with his voice?
What do you think of Wilmore? |

5. they don't count because they actually challenge their guests to explain/justify you
can't have that on these influential Sunday shows.

6. The Sunday News shows are nothing but propaganda
And will eventually be totally insignificant. Younger people already ignore them.

8. What a shame. There are absolutely no women or minorities in the media.

9. this reminds me of McSorleys - where we were told there were enough restaurants
that allowed women,we should leave some to the men because men need to be left alone some times. Yeah, they really needed that urinal at the end of the bar so they didn't have to go all the way to the bathroom in the back.
When they allowed women in, I started to go with the guys at work and drinking them under the table conferred special powers to me that translated into raises and promotions. I did draw the line at going to the strip club with them though. |

10. Not every retiring white guy needs to be replace by a non-white guy.

My comment reminded you of that bullshit line? Yikes. When they allowed women in, I started to go with the guys at work and drinking them under the table conferred special powers to me that translated into raises and promotions.

11. No, that is true, but not every retiring white guy needs to be replaced by another white guy either
I think it is worth at least a comment.
But I did beat the guys at work after I joined them ha ha ! I drank them sick - see, I was raised on beer been drinking it since I was 7 - not child abuse, just rambunctious and my parents wanted me to go to sleep, no ill effects. It is like my friend raised in France that drank wine with her family, she can drink anyone under the table drinking wine, but one beer and she is done for - well I can't drink wine, but beer is nothing to me. I broke the "all guy line" at work and then taught the women behind me how to do it, like how to drink from 5 glasses at one time, etc. This was early 70's I think. |
