You know, the idea of getting rid of some of the folks that were there, I've really been appreciative of that.

She looks like she's going to name Tony DeCoppo, the CBS Evening News anchor.

That announcement could be expected tomorrow.

They hired away from Fox Business a financial correspondent who now will be named the Saturday morning show anchor.

So I think these are some good steps that, you know, the CBS coverage, we've still written about them at Newsbusters and been critical of the coverage.

But where I praise them is you simply have to present that half of the country believes one thing.

I think that's what was key during the Jimmy Kimmel suspension.

And when they're, you know, at their own network, when Stephen Colbert, they said that will be, uh, brought to his show will be brought to an end next year.

That Tony in particular, and some of their correspondents nearly said that there are a lot of Americans that actually don't watch these shows.

A lot of Americans have a problem with these shows.

So we have to acknowledge that while there's a lot of people that like them,

There are plenty of people, if not more, that say, no, they don't like these shows and what's the point of them?

It was Ted Koppel on ABC that did Nightline for the longest time.

couple things number one journalism costs money and i think that's maybe an uncomfortable conversation with some folks um yes you can support them by supporting the sponsors or um you know merely reading that you know analytics and monetization of accounts is definitely a thing but for certain folks you know you have to have payment you know there is a paywall i think at a certain point in barry weiss's

free press is a good example that a lot of things that they put out are in front of the paywall or you just have to give them your email but other times things are behind the paywall at a certain point yeah the the journalists need to be paid to the people producing the work and there's travel costs that are involved and research hours manpower and equipment um so i think that's one uncomfortable conversation i think that consumers need to

More people need to come to grips with it.

I think it's getting better.

But the other thing I would say is continue to do what you're doing.

I've always said that the internet is a net positive because it allows such a huge diversity of resources in the barrier to entry, the barrier to kind of find out about the world around you has never been lower.

So for all the negatives that you can talk about later in the show, which is
