I would rate Bernie as probably one of the top 5 news male anchors of all time. So credible when he speaks.

Probably a nice guy but he lost all credibility when he hid under the bed in Baghdad during the first Gulf War. Arnett had to change his diapers

A third rate communist hack. This guy was worthless when he was on the air. He is much more tolerable off the air----and he needs to be kept off as there are more than enough third rate communist hacks in today's mainstream media anyway.

Smart Guy, Knows his stuff !

if your wife was raped and killed... what a tight a$$

He's retired, get him off this list.

Mostly remembered for his courage during the first Gulf War (on the phone, under a table, still reporting while the hotel was being shelled), but should also be recognized for his courage in the early days of his career, when it was almost impossible to be a black reporter (much less anchor) on the nightly news shows -- and for his guts and class in bringing CNN out of nothingness at its beginning to the respected worldwide news service it is today. Bernie, we miss you!

I wish I could give him a 0...He should move to France!

He's an A-#1 news anchor. If he told me the sky was falling, i would believe him and I would take cover. He has a lot of integrity and he's good at his job.

classy guy

Class act. Miss him.

Missed on CNN.

I could not leave a [0]!

He might as well wear a hammer and sickle on his lapel. I will never forget his lugubrious countenance on election day in 1994 when the republicans swept the house, senate, majority of all state houses and governorships. He wasn't even that sad on 9-11.

much better than his mediocre replacement.

Even CNN couldn't stomach his act anymore.

Classy, solid anchor. However, I have not seen him in a long time...is he still around?

Glad he retired. This guy was horrible and showed what a coward he was in Baghdad in 91.

Experieced and fair man!!

This guy is the consumate professional. I would rather look at Carol Costello but Shaw is by the more experienced and professional anchor but a good looking female will drive the ratings Turner would go with the best, AOL goes with the bucks.

He is one of the founders of CNN. His reporting endeavors in the Gulf War are admirable.

Bernie rules!

Why can't I put a zero for these liberal losers?

Along with Judy Woodruff, a completely biased news anchor. When reporting polls that say anything positive about Republicans, Bernie can hardly keep back the tears.

Biased, pretentious loser.

When I think of Bernard Shaw, I will always think of him on the phone during the Persian Gulf crisis hiding under a table with Peter Arnett and another guy as missiles scream in the background.

Besides being ignorant and uninformed, Bernie is a knee-jerk liberal -- but since this is CNN, I guess that goes without saying. The starting rating for CNN is a 2 and it goes down from there.

Calm, distinguished - a very believable newscaster who inspires trust.
