WASHINGTON (AP) — John Dickerson says just-retired Bob Schieffer left him with one piece of advice about moderating CBS’ “Face the Nation” — and he’s going to follow it.
Dickerson ended his debut broadcast Sunday as permanent host of the public affairs program by repeating what Schieffer told him: “Stick to the news.”
The CBS News political director says that’s what Schieffer did and “that’s what we’ll do — inviting people on to help us understand the news” and trying to ask the questions that viewers want answered.
Schieffer retired last week after 24 years as the show’s moderator.
