| #3 Absolutely the worst development in TV news was when newsreaders started interviewing journalists on air. I used to squirm with embarassement watching BBC and CNN anchors interview journalists in Baghdad or whereever. They would ask questions that showed they were completely clueless about what was going on. The journalists then had to pretend these were important questions and try to answer them. |

| #2 Matt Lauer? He's an idiot. Tim Russell's never spent more than a junket outside this country. He couldn't tell Yushchenko from Yasztremski. Anyway, who cares? These are what the Brits call "newsreaders." Their relationship to journalism is like a hospital PR chief's relationship to the ICU. |

| #1 Not too many left? That's why NewsMax has speculation on two NBC folks as replacement (Matt Lauer & Tim Russert) Russert would be an interesting choice... Actually would help CBS' imgage a bit. Lauer would be same old s**t... |
