Tonight, I watched the 11:00 news on CBS and came across the following stories...
-Ike Turner Dies At 76
-Tropical Storm Olga's Trail Of Destruction
-Midwest Reeling From Powerful Ice Storm
-Bush Vetoes Kids' Health Bill Again
-Congress Vows Action On Vets' Suicides
-Halliburton Under Fire Over Rape Charge
-House Panel Promises CIA Tapes Probe
-Clinton Campaigns With Warren Buffett
-Judge Rejects Automakers' Emissions Suit
-Baseball Steroid Report To Name All-Stars
There was also a piece where Katie Couric interviewed each candidate asking them what country they feared the most.

As you can see, there were only about 2 or 3 political stories. There was the interview with the candidates which took some time. I believe there was enough political news this night. You can't have too much, but again there shouldn't be too little. I think CBS did just fine. Now, was it entertaining? I don't find the news entertaining personally.
