The eye on America and it's news has slipped and it continues to weaken.

Over the years the "CBS Evening News" has changed many anchors, and in my opinion got less and less. The glory days were with Walter Cronkite when he ran the stories the way he wanted he always informed America, even though he's now a committed liberal. Then enter Dan Rather who had a passion for news and he done it with an eager commitment and excitement. As evidenced over the years by his statement to President Nixon at a White House press conference during the Watergate scandal, it was "What are you trying to run from"!, and included was his pounding of president George Bush in an interview. Finally his liberal leaning done him in with the national guard story in 2004, when his info about George W. Bush was incorrect. Now enter the elegant, sweet, and attractive Katie Couric the new hope for CBS. Katie was a real gem in morning news, but has struggled since coming to nights because the news requires a more somber and serious take. The program has been hurt by to many segments on medical issues, race, and other crazy issues. As the night news needs a more serious and aggressive take, and Katie in my opinion is a liberal thinker that also has hurt her. Really the only good news people on CBS are Mike Wallace for his tough interviewing, and Andy Rooney for his educational and angry look at the establishment in politics and society. So in the evening change the channel and don't have your eye on CBS.
