10/23/2007 | I can do little more than echo what a lot of other people have already said. A class act and a real newsman. I couldn't honestly tell you what his political leanings are, and that's the way it should be for reporters and news anchors. Had CBS kept him in the anchor chair I wouldn't be opposed to watching the CBS Evening News from time to time. As it is, the soft-core news with Katie drops in the ratings without ever having my viewership. When will CBS learn that people who watch the news want someone who can anchor the news, not a fluffy personality that supposedly draws younger viewers? You want to draw younger viewers? Work for MTV or G4 and leave the news to people that know what they are doing.

04/02/2007 | Bob, Bob, Bob...you were soooooooooooooooo F'd over by CBS, who favored Katie Koresh over you. I hope you get even one day...nuke 'em to the Stone Phillips age.
If CBS thinks that Katie Koresh will attract a younger generation, well, they're on acid. To the young, she still looks old and reminds me (and a few of my friends) of a childless aunt who pisses us all off with her 24/7 psychotically optimistic manner.
She needs to get an asswhoopin' by a real man and get those pent-up tears she's obviously refusing to shed for her dead husband. Once she does she might not ask such obvious examples of psychological projection that she laid on John and Elizabeth Edwards. Until then, she's just psycho.

03/08/2007 |  Katie Couric gets in the way of the story to the point that she seems to have an opinion about the story she is delivering but can't say it. Bob Schieffer delivers the story as is. While I get most of my news from the internet, I do continue to watch news on TV mostly daytime. but, when Schieffer was on the evening news, my brother mentioned he liked watching Schieffer so I tuned in and started watching the evening news on CBS. It was just a few weeks after I started watching the evening news again when Shieffer was replaced by Couric. My point is this. Bob Schieffer seemed relaxed, content with himself, right at home and happy with what he was doing. I'm 51 years old and grew up watching Walter Cronkrite. Perhaps Couric will draw younger viewers but I, as a teenager, watched Cronkite. The anchor's age was not a factor. At the end of each newscast, I liked the way Shieffer closed following a light hearted story. Despite all the bad news he had just reported, Shieffer's grin seemed to say the world is ok, much like Cronkite did with "that's the way it is" I felt comfortable watching Schieffer. He is the best with one on one delivery.

08/31/2006 | Bob Schieffer is a class act in every way. Bringing back the CBS Evening News to respectability after the angst-filled, (and unfortunately) biased final years of the the much-discredited Dan Rather, Schieffer came off as a news anchor genuinely respected and trusted (much like the legendary Walter Cronkite) not only by viewers, but also by those working alongside him on the newsdesk (unlike Rather). CBS News ought to have acted on replacing Rather much earlier with Schieffer than later (as they did). Furthermore, unlike the egomaniac Rather, Schieffer has always confirmed his sources when doing a feature story- the mark of a professional journalist. It is only a shame that Bob Schieffer wasn't able to stay a little longer on the CBS Evening News chair, as he would have made a larger impact for the company than he has already. As is, Katie Couric will have large shoes to fill following Schieffer and the legendary Walter Cronkite on the CBS Evening News chair.

02/04/2006 | Harmless old man who makes people feel comfortable while watching the news. He has a likeable personality which also makes him appear to be the type that would avoid confrontation too much for a reporter.

01/08/2006 | I guess I am not sure what the problem with his age is, I don't care if he is old if he is a good BELIEVABLE news anchor. I grew up watching Cronkite, Huntly-Brinkley and don't for the life of me understand this rush to get 'young' people to attract the teen-agers, I mean, we watched the old guys, so can they, I mean, exactly WHO wants to watch someone like Jon Stewart during a horror like 9-11 with his smarmy "hip" schtick?
If CBS feels the need to replace him, replace him with another believable guy like Aaron Brown, not some entertainment reporter type twit like Katie Couric (I mean, is that REAL possibility??), I won't watch her for a minute no matter who she intereviews.

10/30/2005 | Dan Rather's puppet! This guy lay in wait for old man Walter to quit, got passed over for Rather, and is only filling the spot temporarily for whomever they decide will get the job. It really doesn't matter much because CBS News is too liberal to be trusted. Everything they report is slanted to make the left look good and the right look like egomaniacal religious zealots.

10/25/2005 | Bob is the most professional anchor and the best reporter on TV. Face The Nation is better than MTP -- Russert now believes his own clippings, and is stuck on his read-quotes-and-ask "well, what about that?" game. Schieffer plays it old-school straight, and provides comprehensive facts and analysis, with little or no bias, but real insight.
