The legendary CBS TV News anchors take a probing look at today’s journalism and those who practice it as they discuss Bob Schieffer’s new book, Overload.

From the explosion of fake news to the challenges of the 24-hour news cycle, they’ll take an inside look at the changing role of media and ask whether today’s citizens are more informed — or just overwhelmed. And they’ll ask how well do today’s journalists believe they are carrying out their responsibility to provide Americans with the information they need to be good citizens.

Dispatches from some of our #DONews websites and independent journalists on the scene in Barcelona Spain, where polls are open.

Massive migrant crisis, huge public debt, rising unemployment, while some claim Spain is being run by idiots and point to many Catalans wanting to be independent. It cant happen here, you say?

Everything on our block is very peaceful but the center has had big protests and some riots this am and yesterday.

Enjoy a slice of humble pie... Perhaps you may fall this Autumn, which comes with a deep desire for passion, as the leaves slowly drop from the tree of life, bringing a smile to our faces and warmth inside our souls.

Nature's true miracle, with unique colors, so amazingly beautiful, it's difficult to speak of them, so we just marvel with a deep admiration for the beauty that leaves us amazed, similar to a love we all desire.

With a GOP majority in The US House of Representatives, as well as in The US Senate, why have there been no campaign promises kept? Whatever happened to getting tired of winning and I'll make great deals?

Why can't he point to one legislative accomplishment, but instead he has undertaken an unprecedented series of regulatory rollbacks, executive orders, and enforcement changes as well as guidelines by rewriting and inventing rules for industries ranging from entertainment to sports, including issues from sexual assault to anti-discrimination protections?
