Today's stories on the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor weren't the same without the friendly authoritative voice of Charles Osgood. The most telling moment when Jane yelped"Next" over FDRs fear speech.
I don't like when she always says "our" when she introduces a segment by someone. Charles Osgood would do it on occasion but hers is constant.

I could not be happier that Jane is now on board.
shareSince she took over as the lead correspondent, the tone of the show has shifted. For a long time, I have felt that she a provocateur and it's clear the show is moving more from human interest stories to being political. Not that politics were never discussed before, but it seems like it is more agenda driven now. It seems really preachy.
I've watched this show on and off since I was a kid, when Charles Kurrault and Charles Osgood co-anchored the show. My parents used to watch it regularly, along with Kurrault's other series, On The Road. Much like On The Road, Kurrault created Sunday Morning to showcase stories that were meant to be more life affirming, more good natured in tone. Charles Osgood continued that legacy long after Kurrault retired and passed away. That's not really Jane Pauley's style. Ever since she was involved in that debacle with Stone Phillips at Dateline NBC over the pickup trucks, it seems to me that she steers more towards sensationalism. Then again, that seems tame compared to much of what's going on with today's media.
