Members Jess Posted August 21, 2008 Members Share Posted August 21, 2008 I saw an ad for the CBS Evening News the other day that included Walter Cronkite's image imposed behind Katie Couric's. I guess the network is trying to reclaim some reputation as the most trusted name in network news by reminding people that it was home to Uncle Waltie.

Members Jess Posted August 22, 2008 Members Share Posted August 22, 2008 Yep. I suspect there are a lot of people who don't fully appreciate Uncle Walty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted August 22, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 22, 2008 Besides, they need to attract the generation(s) that watch Stewart. And I don't think Walty is a way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kay Posted September 7, 2008 Members Share Posted September 7, 2008 Jon Stewart kicks major a##-- him and his reporters and his staff! That's what I watch every night. The regular news shows take themselves too seriously--even as they constantly shovel sh*t at us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted November 12, 2010 Members Share Posted November 12, 2010 It's interesting to see the smirky-smirky type of pundits, like Rachel Maddow and Bill Maher, become discomfited about Stewart and his intentions. Bill Maher, who spent years and years enabling Republicans, playing the both sides are bad and I'm a libertarian song and dance, and helping to launch the careers of several conservative stars, smirkily tells everyone about how wrong Stewart was and how both sides aren't the same. The whole sneery disdain type of persona that a lot of these names put out means that in their mind everyone does come across as the same. I think some of them now realize what this attitude has helped to do to our culture, and are pushing back, but it's a little late. Stewart, like Craig Kilborn before him, started out very smirky on the Daily Show, but then over the years began to take it more seriously. It can be jarring, because you wait for the laugh and then sometimes you get this Paddy Chafesky routine. I think he sees himself as having a real message to deliver, whether he'll admit it or not.
