Re: Wendy McMahon & Adrienne Roark, the tale, of how CBS News got from men like Murrow & Cronkite to these two women, mirrors and clarifies the historical tragedy that is "Postwar America in Decline."

McMahon & Roark are corporate functionaries, not hardcore newspeople. They speak in jargon, psycho-babble; they are manipulative; the verbal honey that drips from their fangs is poison-laced, duplicitous. They are passionate for the "look of things," rather than for "the truth." Imagine working for such a twosome!

Also imagine the flood of employee messages that flooded into their email, self-righteous in tone, ideologically-driven, the sentiments of ignoramuses who think what the Palestinians did last October 7th was both deserved and justified.

We are obliged to ask: What kind of news organization puts two media careerists like McMahon & Roark in charge of what was formerly America's #1 Nightly News source for millions? Gives you a sick feeling, doesn't it?
