On the one hand, I hate CBS being this chicken shit about the administration (and over what, a merger that probably isn't even that great for them). On the other hand, it reminds me of NBC's handing of Conan, which ultimately was better for Conan. If Daily Show goes too, I can't imagine they won't both team up on a new platform somewhere in sort of a golden era moment.
My generation is used to things coming and going, anyway. Nothing is sacred.
True, and I'm most worried about older folks like that. I think DSL wouldn't have too much trouble with podcasts but it's on demand and many people, myself included, tend to get it more via radio on a commute rather than actively seeking it.
It's probably part of a broader plan to keep these people in the dark, so while I'm not personally impacted, I am worried about the ramifications for others like that.
