New CBS News President...
This will confirm Hoosier's worst fears...
"A Team Builder in TV Sports Confronts the Challenges of CBS News
By RICHARD SANDOMIR
NEW YORK TIMES
At his first editorial meeting of the "CBS Evening News" since being named president of CBS News last week, Sean McManus listened to the proposed rundown for that night's program: Harriet E. Miers's troubled nomination for the Supreme Court, the possible indictments of I. Lewis Libby Jr. and Karl Rove in connection with the leaking of the name of a C.I.A. agent, the aftermath of Hurricane Wilma and the World Series victory of the Chicago White Sox.
"Then they said, 'Sean, what are your thoughts?' " recalled Mr. McManus, who will remain as president of CBS Sports. "I just said, 'You have to move the White Sox to the top of the show, which is more important than all the Harriet Miers stuff.' There was complete panic in everyone's eyes, like 'Is this guy serious?' I heard the pause and I said, 'Come on.' "
Bob Schieffer, the interim anchor of the "Evening News," who attended the meeting, said he played along with Mr. McManus's ruse.
"That's what we're doing Sunday on 'Face the Nation,' " he said. "
(Hoosier, it's just a joke...)
