CBS says announcement of new anchor won't come right away

NEW YORK Don't expect an announcement right away on who'll succeed Dan Rather as anchor of the "C-B-S Evening News."

The network's chairman says there won't be any word on that until at least the beginning of next year.

snip..........

Two leading in-house candidates are John Roberts and Scott Pelley. Roberts has been the network's chief White House correspondent since 1999. Pelley held the White House beat before that.

2. Shepard Smith

CBS should take him from Fox. The man can think independently. If not for the spin machine at Fox, watch out.

3. I don't know about that

Shepard Smith has been known to spew GOP talking points from time to time, so I don't know that I would trust him.

5. Why does it have to be a White male?

There *are* other choices and competent anchors out there. Take the lead CBS!

7. Pelley looks to have pretty tough lips...

..and that's what it will take to kiss Bush's hind end every day.
