60 Minutes II CancelledBut it had nothing to do with Rathergate: CBS said Wednesday it is cancelling the Wednesday edition of "60 Minutes," insisting the decision was made because of poor ratings and not last fall's ill-fated story about President Bush's military service. I'm sure it was mostly about ratings. A show that was getting decent ratings could stay on the air no matter how egregiously deceptive its reportage. Hell, Keith Olbermann remains on the air and his ratings are only slightly better than Fox's short-lived series, The World's Safest and Most Conscientious Drivers. Which was basically just an hour of people executing perfect parallel-parking and following the next car at a vert-safe five car lengths. But not even "slightly" about Rathergate? Even indirectly so, in that Rathergate could not have helped the show's ratings, right? Your Liberal Media You'll believe anything we say. Because you're fucking stupid.
Whoops! Forgot to Mention This! I cut this out of the article, because I wanted to deal with it out-of-order-- you know, after making the main point. But for those of you who think Dan Rather is gone... well, he's not quite gone yet. From the bit I meant to quote but forgot to: Dan Rather, the newsmagazine's lead correspondent, will contribute stories to the Sunday edition of "60 Minutes," said CBS Chairman Leslie Moonves. I have a feeling he'll be doing stuff like "Looking for America" where he samples Iowa's best rhubarb pies and that sort of Charles Osgood crap.

CommentsOf course ratings never have had anything to do with the content of the show. Silly peasants. Posted by: Mark on May 18, 2005 12:06 PM
Dan, meet the door. Door, meet Dan.

Somehow cancelling it just doesn't seem like its enough. Not only should the show be cancelled, but the sets burned, the producers beheaded, their women sold into slavery and salt ground into the studio floor. Posted by: Iblis on May 18, 2005 12:08 PM

I'll be honest-- I'll watch a show about the world's best parallel parkers, at least once. Seriously-- give them Hummer H1's and throw them into Boston, Wrigleyville, or Manhattan. Give them points for speed of parking, parking in the smallest possible spots, etc. The final challenge? Street parking a semi in San Francisco. Yeah, I'd watch that.

Keith Olbermann still has a show? Who knew? Posted by: Sean M. on May 18, 2005 12:42 PM

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals. The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite. Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
