Charles Gibson announced today that he is retiring from the top anchor spot at ABC's "World News" at the end of this year. Diane Sawyer will be taking his place. 

Gibson became the anchor in 2006 after the death of Peter Jennings. Gibson says he'll stay with ABC and will make occasional contributions. "World News" currently trails NBC's "Nightly News with Brian Williams" in the ratings.

Sawyer is pretty much considered the savior of "Good Morning America," so it'll be interesting to see if their ratings slip when she leaves. GMA is my personal favorite (by a mile) when it comes to the morning shows, and Diane is one of the reasons. I think she'll be great at "World News," but I'll miss her on GMA. 

Adrienne, on the other hand, "can't stand that woman." She doesn't like the "breathiness" of her delivery.

Where do you fall? On Team Diane or Team Charlie? Or will you stick with/switch to Brian on NBC, or Katie Couric on CBS? 

The unfortunate "race card" issue in the presidential race  continued to dominate TV news throughout the weekend.

Durham native David Gergen offered some fresh perspective that was worthy of debate on Sunday's "This Week With George Stephanopoulos."

Gergen, who has worked for the Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Clinton administrations, gave one southerner's take (video here) on the possibility of dog-whistle messages in one of Sen. McCain's current attack ads against Sen. Obama.
