NYDN Readers Say: Keep Schieffer

Nearly 75 percent of Richard Huff‘s readers say CBS should keep Bob Schieffer in the anchor chair.

In a “highly unscientific poll,” readers chose between Schieffer, Lara Logan, Katie Couric or Shepard Smith. Logan came in a distant second with 13 percent of the vote. Couric and Smith were “no-shows,” and John Roberts received a few write-ins. (Aaron Brown got one, too.)

“As a longtime NBC/Tom Brokaw man, I have recently switched to watching Bob Schieffer and the CBS news,” one reader said. “He gives the news in an easy, matter-of-fact manner and seems to be very comfortable and sincere, like he’s in my living room talking to me.”
