#1 Don't worry, boys, we won't have to put up with him until 2014. According to the guys on Coast to Coast AM, the Mayan Calender, and supposedly the world, runs out at 2012.

#2 I can imagine the board meeting now:

"OK, everyone. Our profession is rated one of the least trustworthy in the nation, and it's sinking fast. Our ratings are tanking, and we're losing money hand over fist. Any suggestions?"

"How about we stick with the same formula?"

"BRILLIANT! Quick! Give our lead anchor a ten-year contract!"

And so the gentrification of the press continues. They'll keep getting more and more out of touch with their audience the longer they depend on the Media Monks instead of clearing them out and letting new voices in.
