Don’t Do It

This article in the New York Times about succession plans for ABC’s evening broadcast made me a little sad. Something about the idea of Charlie Gibson seceding Peter Jennings feels very wrong. I keep thinking about some episode from the Daily Show about a year ago where Jon Stewart is deriding Gibson over his probing questions of contestants from the Bachelor. Maybe I’m a snob, but that particular move would seem like a real step down. Once you’ve promoted the most super duper rose ceremony ever, and with a straight face, do you really deserve a promotion?
On a not entirely different note, I wanted to point you to this nice juxtaposition by Karl on Philly Future.
