Younger Audiences Don’t Wear Neckties — Or Watch The CBS Evening News

Andy Rooney opined about neckties on Sunday’s 60 Minutes. “The other night, John Roberts, substituting for Bob Schieffer on the CBS Evening News, came on camera without a necktie. Two other correspondents on the same broadcast, Allen Pizzey and Wyatt Andrews, also appeared with open shirts and no ties. I suppose that John, Allen and Wyatt wanted to look good to a younger audience that doesn’t wear neckties — and doesn’t watch the Evening News either, of course,” Rooney says…

> Also: Jim Murphy tells Stephen Battaglio that the Roberts no-necktie look was a “dare.”
