Five hundred CBS News writers are likely to join their colleagues on the picket line after a vote on the matter is taken on Thursday. However, with all due respect to these guys, the jokes on 60 Minutes aren't half as funny as the ones on Two and a Half Men. — Ben Katner

I always did think CBS News had a bunch of wannabe fiction writers working for them. I never thought I'd see proof.

The jokes on Two A Half Men are funny?

When you say CBS News, I'm assuming that you aren't talking about the daily evening news? Because they are required by law to show a news-program, otherwise their license to broadcast would be revoked by the FCC, wouldn't it?

Really? Where is Fox's nightly news show? or the CW's? I think you're getting the rules about individual stations and the need to set aside time for "community programming". As far as I know, there is no network equivalent to those rules.
