"We're changing dayside away from the TelePrompTer headline news to Dylan Ratigan and Dr. Nancy. And we'll continue to do that less--of people sitting behind a desk, reading TelePrompTers."

Sounds like the English translation of this might be: "This will be much cheaper to produce."

after I typed it, I realized the word "rips" might be a little strong.
but I wouldn't be feeling too good if I'm one of those people reading a prompter during the day.

Maybe on MSNBC, but I don't envision a crossover to CNBC. Too much data to throw out quickly.

Was it sometime in 2004 or 2005 that consultants got it into their head that making the anchor stand up somehow meant they were doing better journalism?

I don't think he's ripping them. I think they just laid off the teleprompter operator.

Maybe they should get someone who doesn't NEED a telepromter:

He hasn't anchored in almost 30 years. Why would he need one?

I have one hooked up to the TV in my home, in case I need to make pre-scripted witty conversation with visitors.

I've never ripped my own staff, but I have been known to put it in some questionable places.
I should also add that I'm not proud of that. Actually, yes I am.
