Most people are in the habit of watching the same channel for their news not the anchor. I'm 53 and don't follow anchors if they change networks. Who cares? News is news no matter who delivers it. It's not a popularity competition.

Katie C may be America's sweetheart but she surely is not mine. I wince each time she shows up on 60 MIniutes

Most of the T.V. networks are so out of touch with "us real folks" who work and struggle and yes buy our clothes at good will or consignment shops. We don't want a hand out from Govt. and we wish you have more conservative reporting not all of us eat grilled Lobster from room service then are asked by the canidate to "share our wealth." We are taking care of our own family and not wanting handouts but govt is giving toooo many to those unwilling to work let alone finish hight school which is given to them free and they quit then ask us to pick up the GED or later learning with work force grants etc. I am very sick of paying sooo much taxes while taking good care of my family and working hard to do so.
We need more gals like Sarah Palin to suggest we all "come down" a bit and not expect such a high standard of living.
Katie are you real - you don's seem like it to me and the news CBS gives you to read is not the real news about life and both men running for President. Neither
man will be able to give all that they promise and we know it - but they treat us like dummies.
