CBS News Anchor: A Modest Suggestion
The NY Times reports that CBS is seeking suggestions on a new anchor for CBS News. I have a humble suggestion: Glenn Reynolds.
Professor Reynolds qualifications include:
- being from a Red State (instantly differentiating CBS from the others)
- having built the top-draw blog from scratch (much like Murrow did with CBS News)
- being objective in his analysis and even-handed in his linking to diverse views
- seldom interjecting more than a "Heh" or "Indeed" into the discussion
- being able to pronounce "nuclear", the sine qua non for acceptance by the
nomenklatura intelligentsia.
But mainly so that the NY Times will stop calling bloggers irrelevant quite so often.

That's a scream, Kevin!
Another plus for Reynolds being assimilated into the MSM borg, is Reynolds' antipathy toward pro-lifers, social conservatives, and the religious right bent on--he's convinced--a theocratic America. When you think about it, Reynolds at CBS wouldn't be a bad fit at all.
