CBS' Late Show mocks CBS Evening News

From the Media Research Center:

      CBS's Late Show with David Letterman on Monday and Tuesday night featured mocking promos for the CBS Evening News, complete with a real CBS Evening News on screen graphic and a realistic-sounding announcer.

     Monday's: "Tonight on the CBS Evening News: The latest on the presidential campaign, based on stuff we heard from a guy at the Steak n' Shake. Only on the CBS Evening News."

     Tuesday's, over matching photos: "Tonight on the CBS Evening News: What do Saddam Hussein, Ralph Nader, Britney Spears and these chickens have in common? We don't know, but we'll make something up by air time. That's tonight, only on the CBS Evening News."

     Not exactly a vote of confidence for the staff of CBS News when one of the shows on your own network finds you a ripe target for ridicule.
