Congratulations to Jan Crawford
Howard Bashman reports that perennial Patterico favorite Jan Crawford is becoming the political correspondent at CBS. Congratulations!
I admit to somewhat mixed feelings, since Jan is really a strong legal reporter — the best out there, in my opinion — and I think it’s a shame to lose her in that capacity. But this will mean more airtime, a more visible position, and ultimately better reporting on the most important issues facing our nation. (When I put it like that, it’s clear the upside far exceeds the downside!)
All in all, a great move. Please give Jan your warmest congratulations. I have utter confidence in her fairness and look forward to her political reporting.
Many, many congrats to the lovely and wise Ms Crawford.

Excellent choice. A balanced, well-educated, well-informed and articulate person.

Gbear (b4d7eb) — 4/10/2011 @ 2:57 pmI wonder — is the fact the fair-and-balanced Greenburg is being elevated at CBS a contributory reason to Katie Couric’s departure?
Laura Ingraham on occasion speaks of the time during her brief tenure as a CBS News reporter she was taken to the proverbial woodshed for bristling at being instructed not to use the term “pro-life” rather than “anti-abortion rights.”

L.N. Smithee (fe53ae) — 4/11/2011 @ 12:27 amThat’s what happens when people watch Katie Couric. They CBS.
