The CBS Evening News with Norah O'Donnell

Poor Jeff Glor.

I thought he was good.

She makes her debut on Monday.

I thought you bitches said that Gayle King insisted she get fired?

Norah got a fucking HUGE promotion!

I'd rather watch this stud every night, than that old hag Norah O'Donnell.

Stare her down, Jeffie!

Who indeed.

Norah O’Donnell’s debut as the new “CBS Evening News” anchor drew much media fanfare but not so many viewers.

Despite all the buzz, Monday night’s broadcast slipped compared to the same night a year earlier, as well as for the show’s average audience so this year, ratings agency Nielsen said. O’Donnell garnered a total audience of 5.6 million viewers, down 1% from the same night in 2018 when Glor drew 5.7 million viewers. Her broadcast slid 6% compared with the 2019-to-date average of nearly 6 million.

In the important 25- to 54-year-old demographic, O’Donnell drew 929,000 viewers versus 1.22 million, a year ago when the show was hosted by Glor. That translated to the newscast being down 24% in the demo versus the year-to-date average.

Norah 's personality is off putting. And she gives off a right wing bimbo vibe.

And they called ME a cunt!

I'm not a lesbian. I just still haven't met the right man.

No one invited you to this thread, Gayle.

SHOO!

R5 No shock there. Getting rid of Jeff Glor was poorly handled and a bad move. Despite the ratings, Glor had a loyal fan base.

They'll be lots of energy and za-za-za. Norah will vow to "do something different" to the tired old format. It will look promising...

Then it will sink back to the doldrums of the same ol' thang. Nobody under 50 watches these excuses for car and drug commercials, recylings of news everyone's already heard.

Norah could fix this is she talked more about Trump.

I watched and it was painful. Norah is a total try hard..

Nobody and I nobody is going to watch this cunt.

She has a fake laugh. Beware anyone with a fake laugh. The are always ice cold sociopaths.

I LOVE HER! I "believe" the news she's reading.

Jeff Glor was out of his depth. He's like a HS pretty boy whose older sister gets him jobs.

R16 fuck you sprinkles.

R17 = Jeff Glor

Despite the ratings, Jeff Glor was liked by regular viewers of CBS. The problem wasn't the host, it's the format of the broadcast it feels outdated that was the problem. The way CBS demoted Jeff and pushed Norah into the position was a PR fiasco and it appeared that she back stabbed her way into the job. She probably won't last as long as Glor.

R19, it’s so annoying when they tinker with the “format”. Someone you trust reads the news. That’s all I need. I don’t want point/counterpoint, woke round table discussions, TMZ-style antics, comfy sofas and coffee tables.

Just give me some unbiased reporting of relevant news stories!

O'Donnell's initial rating were lower than Glor's. Curse of Katie Couric. Don't see how she will last, but I never liked her truth be told. I like Gayle - it's too bad she can't get a foothold in the AM

R20 - totally agree!!! I think that is why I don't like O'Donnell - to me she comes off like she has an ax to grind - superior, pro woman, pro Dem. Gayle doesn't present that way and that is why I like her. Act equal = be equal.

I think the Geritol set wants an older guy with an authoritative voice.

Will she not just go away already? Jesus christ.

I watch David Muir on ABC, and I enjoy his broadcast, even when his voice sounds like his sinuses are congested. *Sniff, sniff!*

I only watch Judy Woodruff.

The new CBS News cunt is 0 for 2.

Her morning team: bomb

Norah as anchor: bomb

Saw Jeff on the CBS early show today... ewww, I really can't take him. All teeth and acting. I dislike how her uses pretentious pauses, and stresses certain words to sound "distinct." It's like he graduated from the Ted Baxter School of Broadcasting.

Katie Couric. Scott Pelley. Jeff Glor.

None of them have been able to revive CBS' evening news ratings. Norah O'Donnell won't be able to either. But I don't think anybody can. The only way CBS could ever gain ground is if there's a shakeup at ABC or NBC. Even then, it seems unlikely. Norah will probably do a perfectly fine job as anchor, but the ratings won't budge, and then, she'll be gone in a couple of years. The Big 3 network evening news shows are a dying format anyway. I don't think most people under the age of 40 even know that they still exist.

How does Lesley Stahl feel about never getting the call?

This might make me tune-in (NSFW)

Definitely Team Jeff

Scott Pelley was my favorite--he had that old-fashioned "anchorman" voice, and a hot body.

[quote]superior, pro woman, pro Dem

R21: You're nuts. R6 is correct, she's an old right winger from days gone by. She all but DEMANDED Pelosi assure her she wouldn't impeach W back in 2006 when she was on MSNBC.

Countdown to Norah being fired.....

I give her three months.
