Kudos to Mansbridge for a successful career but seriously, does it really matter or has it ever really mattered who reads the news or does the features or shows like 60 Minutes, W5 and so on? There have been countless times over the years - yes the pre-multimedia explosion years - when whoever filled in for Cronkite, Lloyd Robertson, Mansbridge, etc. and I still got the news/analysis/investigative stuff. It's never particularly mattered to me who was delivering it, just that I got it or had access to it. The only people these retirements truly matter to are journalists, if that (and I'm a retired one). With respect, much ado about nothing, really. Life goes on.
