I am watching the CBS news

I have watched NBC national news for years. I was not happy when they kept Nancy Snyderman after her Ebola mistake. Now Brian Williams has sealed the deal. If they both stay I cannot watch.

Since I watch CBS Morning with Charlie Rose, it does make sense.

because we prefer our local CBS news and it's just easier to keep the box on 656. I'm not crazy about Scott Pelley, but he'll do.

I remember how it was big back in the day, and how we all had to gather round the television and watch the authoritative news man tell us what had happened in the world, as a kid growing up, but now in the internet age, it has become quaint. Beyond quaint, I'd say, obsolete.
