Surprised reactions flooded in on Monday after CBS Evening News co-anchor John Dickerson announced he was leaving the network, with one observer saying the veteran journalist's move was "not a good sign."
Dickerson, who joined CBS 16 years ago, made the announcement as the company leadership shifts and "significant changes" are signaled ahead for the broadcast news division, The New York Times reports.
He said in a statement: "At the end of this year, I will leave CBS, sixteen years after I sat in as Face the Nation anchor for the first time. I am extremely grateful for all that CBS gave me — the work, the audience’s attention and the honor of being a part of the network’s history — and I am grateful for the dear colleagues who’ve made me a better journalist and a better human. I will miss you."

I am just reading my latest issue of Harpers Magazine about the distrust with the media..........and it is a thoughtful read..........
Mr. Dickerson has a conscience to his journalism................. I hope he goes back on Stephen Colbert show as a guest.........
