It's funny this topic should come up. On 9/11 I got mad applause when I switched the station in the break room from CNN to CBS to get hold of Dan... There was one contester and she conceded once we realized that CNN (amongst others in the initial stages) was about 2 or 3 minutes behind CBS.

CBS blew everyone out of the water last week, really. They were first and the last on site. There was excellent coverage and up close and almost too personal footage within 20 minutes of the first plane crash... they had mad ground coverage. CNN had a lot of pics -- some of which I saw on CBS first (stations do share). Although CNN did have seem to have all of the aerial shots... IMPO that was b/c they couldn't get any closer having gotten on the scene too late. But then eveything was grounded.

Rather is very professional yet personal. He is always good for saying what everyone is thinking.

IMHO CBS always has the best news.... they get the people's perspective from a very unique and personal angle. And 60 Minutes has been on point for YEARS.

I do like other news shows and reporters. Stone Phillips (NBC DateLine) being one of them. I like his delivery a lot. But CBS is one of my faves.
