Maybe you can help me figure something out.
As you probably know, tommorrow will be Dan Rather's final day behind the anchor desk at the CBS Evening News after 24 years. Now, CBS News has been kidded forever about virtually creaking with old age. The Nielson ratings show that CBS News ranks dead last out of the three evening newscasts--and they're even further behind in the crucial 25-54 demographic.
So when Network-Methuselah Dan Rather finally decided to step down in ignominy after making up one story too many, CBS decided to replace him with....Bob Schieffer? The one guy at CBS besides Andy Rooney who actually looks older than Rather?
I mean, I know it's only interim, but at Schieffer's age, pretty much everything is interim. Was this Plan B after the exhumation of Harry Reasoner failed?
