I agree with Dave - the quality of Daniel Schorr’s commentaries is totally predictable. They are consistently acute, profound and insightful. Obviously that annoys a lot of people.

Maybe Daniel Schorr’s mind is “sharp as ever” if, that is, his mind wasn’t very sharp to begin with. His commentaries are predictable as a sunrise — regurgitate conventional wisdom, add Nixon era historical context, finish with standard liberal spin.

He is tedious in exactly the same way William Kristol will be as a a NYTs columnist.

it matters not how old they are, many long for yesterday.

B&C (which i otherwise enjoy) is running a banner ad for a panel at the upcoming natpe. it’s called “Back To Basics… afterall, it’s still the tv business”

oddly, its sponsor is a none other than a successful web channel- RL.TV.

i think ya’ can get away with calling them guys dinosaurs.
