Crying Tony

The dawn of the crying anchor…

Most people are used to network anchors who are stoic and professional as they deliver the news.

You have heard the line, “Never let them see you sweat,” but also as an anchor, never let them see you cry.

Did you ever see Brokaw, Jennings, Rather, Koppel, Sawyer, Brinkley crying on air?

Yet, new CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil was doing a promo shoot with the CBS O&O in Miami and started to cry.

I guess this is the new-age “my mentals” anchorman.

If you ever watched the movie Broadcast News, we have come full circle.
