Default Will miss Norah O'Donnell on CBS Evening News.

I enjoyed watching her over the last six years as the anchor of CBS Evening News . And will probably go back to watching some other network new's program.

Never heard of her. I DVR and thereby watch commercial-free Jesse Watters Primetime on FOX and especially enjoy the ironic humor in his newscasts.

Since CBS News (on Sixty Minutes) replaced Kamala’s word salad non-answer with an answer to a different question, I will never give CBS a second of my time. Never. They lost every ounce of creditability they ever had. So bye bye to Nora.

Nora was our favorite. We record her every night and rarely miss an episode. Her show was excellent, never takes a political stance, just tries to impartially report the news. Lester Holt will be our new daily half hour of somewhat impartial news. We’re going to miss Nora.

If you are happy with biased news, then Lester will be just fine.

Replace with a modern version of Max Headroom (or Maxine Headroom).

I will probably go with Lester Holt as well.

Slightly slanted but nothing like MSNBC nor like FOX.

I’m surprised there is still a 6:30 evening news show at all especially with CBS having their CBS 24/7 channel on free apps like Pluto. Heck, even the locals covers the national news forgoing the local news topics, IMO. From what I read they pay large salaries for people to report the news to a non audience at 6:30 so something has to give.

FOX for facts. MSM for fake news and propaganda.

Neither for facts. Both are very prejudiced.

That’s funny….. never took a political stance. You’re pretty funny these them all.

That is 100% true. I watch multiple channels to obtain a wide range of opinions (knowing that they are ALL prejudiced)....not to agree or disagree with any specific political ideology, but to try and understand why the people in my orbit say the things they do, and to recognize the media's amazing influence on shaping public opinion. That being said, I think that Jesse Watters on FOX at 8 PM has a great sense of humor and his show is incredibly entertaining. There is something in every broadcast that makes me chuckle (either what he says, how he says it, or even some of the captions on the bottom of the screen). It's the only show that I watch or record every night, but I don't consider it news.
