Bottom Line is he's one of the last of the original Eyewitness News team that's on air. I think him and Gil Noble are the remaining two from the original eyewitness news team in NY still on Air. He's a true Journalist whether or not we now believe what he does to get ratings or not. I tip my hat to him for being in the business this long and to still be in it. I dont see that happening with the new journalist of Today. It's a sad day in TV news where we are putting more advertised stories on air than real news stories |

those guys have even more awards.
neither is a factor anymore.
yes..people in our business still talk about him. yes he won some awards years ago
yes he has a job.
but I think you both have pretty low standards of thats all it takes to remain a significant factor in our business.
here's my argument.
his work has become a characature of what it was.
his audience has largely withered.
he doesnt win those awards anymore
no one outside the business talks about him anymore
he doesn't break stories or news anymore. he bloviates.
