And and it's not only to Don that we should point out the politics of it.
Like that executive told me, they couldn't even put together a clean newscast on Monday for the debut.
There was that error where Tony didn't know what segment was coming up next.
I've never seen anything like that in my entire life watching the evening news where the CBS News anchor or any anchor is confused about what segment's next, and there's this on-air kerfuffle.
The lack of experience, I think, Don, from management with Barry Weiss, lack of experience, Tony never anchoring a solo show like this on his own.
The executive producer is basically brand new.
She's just got that job last summer.
I think is also leading to not only bad editorial decisions, but just bad television.
I agree.
And I also like, you know, I think that's a forgivable mistake for the first broadcast maybe.
I think that it was viewed, though, in the greater context of the last five or six days where they've been issuing, like the executive said, these manifestos about how journalism should be done and and holding themselves on this high horse.
And then to see that they don't even have the fundamental mechanics of putting together the show, the first show downright struck people, you know, like what is going on here?
And also the fact that the people in charge, Don, I think this is, to some extent, illustrative of the fact that they don't have a ton of experience putting together TV journalism.
Barry Weiss has never been a TV journalist.
She's never really actually been a proper journalist either, but she has no experience in television, and now she's running one of the big television networks.
Tony has been a co-anchor on The Morning Show, and I don't want to...
Dismiss that, but he's also never been an evening news anchor.
Before Tom Yamas took over the NBC Nightly News, they gave him so many reps on the weekends, filling in for Lester.
It was very clear they had...
you know, set the table for him to take over that show to some, it feels, I think, you know, I've talked to people, it feels like they really rushed Tony into this position.
