Hmmmmm.....CBS correspondent John Roberts now on CNN?

[Armstead]

He's billed as their National Security correspondent.

He was one of CBS's reporters with teeth. Wonder why he left CBS? Wonder why CNN wanted him?

Could be interesting.

1. after they picked Schieffer as anchor instead of him

I think he didn't want to stick around--

CNN needs reporters with credibility. Easy sell.

2. Would be good if this was a sign of change at CNN

CNN needs more workhorses like Roberts and fewer right wing whckos and chirpy bimbos (male and female).

It would be great if this ws a singal that they are actually going to get serious about the news.

Is CNN seeing the light?.......I hope so. But, more likely, to quote Steve Martin....Naaaah!

3. I wish they would get rid of Blitzer!

4. Hell, they just hired Bill Bennett AND J.C. Watts. They're hopeless.

5. John Roberts is worthless. check it out at media matters, just for

starters.

there've been several threads on what a tool he is

7. I know--I should have put "credibility" in quotes n/t

6. Maybe they liked his work on Muchmusic

8. I like John King. Hope Roberts isn't taking his stuff.
