Choosing TV news anchor men by Nielsen ratings may seem like the next worst thing to letting Agnew do it. But last week ABC in fact picked its man through a survey, and the choice made excellent journalistic sense. The network hired away CBS's Harry Reasoner to replace Co-Anchor Man Frank Reynolds...

...evening news has never been able to command more than about 20% of the three-network audience. All that was missing, ABC News President Elmer Lower concluded, was what he called a "box office value" anchor man. A national survey commissioned from an audience-research firm showed that CBS's Walter Cronkite was America's favorite; No. 2 was not NBC's David Brinkley or Chet Huntley (he was still around then) or even Reynolds' fellow commentator, Howard K. Smith. It was the CBS back-up man, Reasoner...

Godard's "political" films address themselves to the formal convergence of CBS and Newsreel. He argues that such affinities are by no means coincidental, but instead arise from an identical purpose-the mere conveyance of information. Godard says it's not what you know, but how you come to know it; not information, but the way you process it, Regardless of its source-CBS or its Newsreel counterpart-information is "neutrally" transmitted to the same society, where the images are analyzed according to the same set of assumptions.
