...Why don't you watch 60 minutes

CBS IMO has lost all credibility. The program has been good for some of the late night jokes by Jay Leno and Letterman. I liked the skit of the opening of 60 minutes. It had the usual opening with the ticking clock, and "I'm Morley Safer", "I'm Lesley Stahl"...and then a picture of Dan Rather with duct tape over his mouth.

And from the Letterman Top Ten List, I especially liked Number 3 of this Top Ten List.

Top Ten Ways CBS News Can Improve Its Reputation

10. Stick to stories everyone can agree on, like cookies are delicious.

9. Move nightly "happy hour" to after the broadcast.

8. Stop hiring guys with crazy names like "Morley."

7. Can't figure out if a news story is true? Let Judge Joe Brown decide.

6. Every time Mike Wallace tells a lie he gets a life-threatening electrical shock.

5. Newsroom patrolled by some kind of lovable but strict "truth monkey."

4. If it turns out the story is wrong, give away 276 brand new cars.

3. After delivering a report, correspondent must add, "Or maybe not--who knows?"

2. Newscast consists of Dan Rather sitting down to watch Tom Brokaw.

1. Oh, I dunno, stop making up crap?
