Paul Friedman, second-in-command to Sean McManus atCBS News, isn’t known as the Prince of Darkness for nothing.

At least he went in person,” an insider said. All the networks are downsizing and relying more on freelancers as viewership and revenues decline. But bud gets aren’t so tight that Fried man had to fly coach. Network brass fly business class. CBS had no comment.
