looks like a deer caught in the headlights. seems to me to be overcompensating. journalism is not about being the fierce opposition, being tough on people. it's about communicating the truth, teasing answers that reveal details. Sometimes three softball questions followed by a hard high slider will get you more revealing answers than total in yer face. Scott Pelley knew what he was doing. You'd never know from his newscast that he was a solid Republican. Because he parked it at the door. Even Dan Rather in his pre-1987 years was a partisan enigma on air.

i think and hope Norah O'Donnel's tenure is short lived. She is making a mess of journalism.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
