Tech meltdown at CBS News

Since Dan Rather shot himself in the foot two years ago with “fake memo” trying to embarrass the President, things have been going downhill at CBS News.

Rather was forced to step down as anchor of CBS Evening News in the spring of 2005. Bob Schieffer did a credible job of filling in until Katie Couric (pictured) took over last spring.

The Katie Couric era at CBS Evening News has not been stellar. Viewership has slipped most of the time since Couric stepped into the anchor chair.

What Couric didn’t need was a tech meltdown. It came anyway.
