NEW CBSNEWS PRESIDENT: WORLD SERIES OVER SUPREME COURT?
Sun Oct 30 2005 20:27:16 ET
At his first editorial meeting of the "CBS Evening News" since being named president of CBS News last week, Sean McManus listened to the proposed rundown for that night's program: Harriet E. Miers' troubled nomination for the Supreme Court; the possible indictments of I. Lewis Libby Jr. and Karl Rove in connection with the leaking of the name of a CIA agent, the aftermath of Hurricane Wilma and the World Series victory of the Chicago White Sox.
The NEW YORK TIMES reports on Monday, "Then they said, 'Sean, what are your thoughts?"' recalled McManus, who will remain as president of CBS Sports. "I just said, 'You have to move the White Sox to the top of the show, which is more important than all the Harriet Miers stuff.'
There was complete panic in everyone's eyes, like 'Is this guy serious?' I heard the pause and I said, 'Come on."'
