Russ Mitchell Is Replacing Rene Syler on The Early Show

A couple of months after it was announced that Rene Syler would be leaving The Early Show, it was announced that Russ Mithchell would be joing the show. Technically, Rene was a victim of low ratings but the word put out on the street was that there were too many anchors on the show. There are four including Julie Chen, who broadcasts from Los Angeles and is married to management.

Russ Mitchell was the original co-anchor of The Saturday Early Show. Now he will be a news anchor of the weekday show.

Hmmm. Star Jones is booted from "The View" because of ratings and is replaced by a parade of black women as cohosts and now Rene Syler is nailed because of ratings and is replaced by a black man. Wouldn't you just love to be in the management meetings where these decisions are made?
