Most days I feel pretty lucky but yesterday I was unusually lucky. I discovered Sharyl Attkisson and her "Full Measure" series. It is rare for me to accept without question, the comments of a journalist. This lady is a different breed of journalist. She interviews people that tell their story's without her interruption or leading. Where appropriate she asks questions that allow the interviewee to develop the story with their own words and flavor. I have yet to hear/see most of her stories but I intend to review all of them in the next month. I believe they will add to my store of knowledge and understanding of our government and it's employees.

I believe that each viewer has a particular reason for watching and I believe everyone should watch whatever "Floats their boat". I watch CBS fairly often but the current format of the morning show leaves me wondering "what will they do next to screw it up." I think someone is about to leave because the cost of "talent (4 people) is unsustainable in MY opinion.. I would rather have 15 minutes of News followed by 15 minutes of commentary presented by 2 knowledgeable people....provided that Norah is one of the people. I suspect Ms. Z will make some changes and CBS will be better off. My comments should NOT be construed to malign anyone on the show or at CBS. They only represent what this 87 year old would like to see.
