Because in comparison to what Bruce is making, his replacement (probably Ed

Solo-anchor?  What is this, the 70's?  As far as Shortsleeve is concerned, his
continued presence reading the news on the hideous "News 4 This Morning" is a
reminder to Scott Wahle that if this show continues to dwell in the basement,
that Joe could be back in the spotlight very quickly.

I believe that the changes at Circle 4 Ranch are more financial than anything
else.  Can you imagine trying to justify the salaries of Jack, Liz, Bruce and
Bob in a board meeting considering their ratings performance over the past few
years?  I don't think the problems there are their fault, but something had to
give, so it might as well be the folks that make the coin.  It's unfortunate,
but considering CBS's financial standing recently, it's not surprising.
