Give This Man Some Credit

Of all of the news dinosaurs still breathing, I never thought it would be Sam "Really, it IS my hair" Donaldson finally admitting that Network News Is Dead. And yet, here he is, apologetic even, while confessing "The monster anchors are through."

Sam is about as inside as an insider can get. He's been through enough contract negotiations to see the writing on the wall. I suspect he's about to join the ranks of the former-broadcasters-turned-bloggers, but I won't believe it until I see it. In any case, kudos to him for telling it like it is.

Only question left: will the network news organizations go away quietly, or are they gonna put up a (losing) fight?

Here comes the kicking and screaming...
