...they viewed the world from different places. Arledge's decentralized vision was taken up, in part, by CBS News under Sauter, who downplayed Washington and Government in favor of more geographically varied news. In Mudd's view, his ouster by NBC also reflects "an anti-Washington bias." But NBC News President Frank insists he moved Mudd mainly because the show "looked like two decks of cards being riffled together." Sums up Frank: "The two-anchor program was not coherent...

Rather was not yet the anchorman, but looking back at his campaign coverage, Robin son finds Rather was more analytical than Cronkite but "not necessarily more liberal." Robinson is far from a delirious fan of the press, which he considers "sensational at times, petty on occasion, superficial almost always," but does believe...
