Walter Cronkite, an elitist member of the Bohemian Grove masquerading as a journalist while paling around with the wealthy and powerful superelites, the voice of the Bohemian Grove owl rituals on his own volition. Bastion of honesty that one really

Eeh IMO Scott is a solid journalist but he was a little bit stiff as host of the CBS evening news. He fits better on 60 Minutes. These old graphics look better. The new themes and set are upgrades though. The Guardian reviews Tony's first week. At the very least, Tony could not have gotten a more active news-week to launch his broadcast. In all fairness, all three network evening newscasts are shells of their former selves. David Muir's program is certainly not the best, it's just the most popular of a shaky bunch. Nightly News feels like a lesser copy of Muir and CBS is an unstable revolving door hopelessly trying to find its rhythm. If CBS was insistent on revamping the format, I wish they would've just kept Maurice as a solo anchor.

I'm not so sure. It all looks so inconsistent and not very well thought-out. Bringing back Didot for only half the logo, and then picking a third font for the lower thirds all looks really sloppy. The open's use of pictures of Tony feels really tacky and self-serving – has any network evening news open ever done that? I love the 1991 theme, but it doesn't match the open or the tone that the overall program is taking. It feels like a really arbitrary choice. The only thing I do like is returning to a newsroom backdrop, and the Studio 47 newsroom has never looked better. It looks much brighter and busier than its most recent incarnation when used on the weekend program. But even the sleek newsroom look is all ruined with the dinky 90s desk taken out of storage.

And it actually got Newt Gingrich to respond. The REAL Newt Gingrich too. https://x.com/i/status/2010436094068953303 Did politics play a part in his removal?

Bari don’t work weekends.

I didn't want to bump it in the graphics section... Do we have an approx. update as to which station is getting the new graphics next? It's been a hot minute since the last one

Hurts badly? Thats a bit dramatic. This wasnt a surprise. He anchored an unwatchable newscast (not his fault), that was in last place forever. It should have been shut down years ago. WLNE put on one of the worst newscasts anywhere. I know.. not their fault.

I'll break this down... Whatever it was before Meredith owned them... WHAE from 1971-1977 (CBN; Independent) WANX from 1977-1984 (CBN; Independent) WGNX from 1984-1998 (Tribune from 1984-1998; Independent until 1994, then CBS), the most famous era before all the Meredith stuff came through. Meredith's ownership... WGNX from 1998-2000 (CBS Atlanta - WGNX 46) WGCL from 2000-2021 (CBS Atlanta, Clear TV, CBS 46 - Atlanta's NewsChannel, CBS 46, CBS Atlanta, CBS 46, you know the mess) Gray's ownership... WGCL from 2021-2022 (CBS 46 during the transitional phase) WANF from 2022-present (Atlanta News First; CBS until 2025, back to being an Independent) I know... no bullet lists, but a point had to be made. I hope you enjoyed this little history lesson.

That was her priority. Sadly mission accomplished.

Clearly it wasn't just the format Bari wanted to revamp -- it was the entire editorial tone of the news organization.

Chief Meteorologist Matt Devitt from WINK has been let go from the station. His bio has been scrubbed from their website as well.
