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.
