More of the same old Limo-Liberal Pomposity-Ben Sherwood Named President of ABC News

Ben Sherwood Named President of ABC News - ABC News
Here is his pedigree:

Mr. Sherwood began his lifelong fascination with journalism while still in college through internships at KCET public television in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Times Washington Bureau, and the CBS Evening News. In 1984-1985, during a year off from college, Sherwood worked for The News and Observer in Raleigh, North Carolina; the Los Angeles Times Paris bureau and the United Nations Border Relief Operation in Aranyaprathet, Thailand.

Mr. Sherwood started his journalistic career in earnest when he joined ABC News in 1989, serving as an investigative associate producer and producer for ABC News' PrimeTime (then called PrimeTime Live) with hosts Diane Sawyer and Sam Donaldson. During that time, he was part of an ABC News team that came under sniper fire in Sarajevo, Bosnia in August 1992, and his investigative reports explored flaws in the secretive B-2 stealth bomber program; the dangers of unlicensed mental health practitioners; and the unheralded risks of an overprescribed heart medication.

Rearranging the deck chairs, nothing changes but their lower ratings (thank goodness and exposure elsewhere).
