Anna Edwards, Malcolm Fried and the rest of the bozo patrol in London is a joke. They've shredded their lineup, dismantled any semblance of quality, laid off all their good people in mass quantities and reverted to old-style, pathetic TV. Andy Lack and company might as well just shut the damn thing. It's garbage and this isn't going to help. What a joke Bloomberg has become!
