« Ukraine: The End of the Reporting, Not The Story | Main | Posner Returns » November 24, 2004Rather LateEveryone knows this, and the story's over a day old, but we were waiting for Dan Rather to scramble and confirm the story. Rather "will relinquish his role as anchor and managing editor of the CBS Evening News in March. He will remain on at CBS as a 60 Minutes correspondent." Meanwhile Reuters reports that CNN has hired Jonathan Klein, former executive director of CBS News, as its new president for U.S. news. In September, Klein defended Rather with this ridiculous quote: "You couldn't have a starker contrast between the multiple layers of checks and balances [at '60 Minutes'] and a guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas writing." Is CNN trying to lose ratings? Posted by Joshua Claybourn at November 24, 2004 02:45 PM CommentsI don't doubt that CBS and 60 minutes have all sorts of checks and balances. But those balances don't work well when a newsroom and its staff aren't idealogically diverse.
