Lehrer Back at 'NewsHour' Desk
Jim Lehrer is returning to his role as anchor of PBS’ “The NewsHour” on Thursday.
Mr. Lehrer has been off the program since undergoing a heart valve replacement procedure in April.
A "NewsHour" spokeswoman said Mr. Lehrer will temporarily serve as the program’s anchor two or three days a week and gradually will resume full-time anchoring.
Mr. Lehrer will be back in his traditional role as anchor for PBS’ gavel-to-gavel coverage of the Democratic National Convention in August and the Republican National Convention in September.

To the news hour: July 7th newscast spent 25 minutes devoted entirely to publicity for Obama! hardly a mention for McCain except in a negative way. Talk about slanted media. Most media news time we have noticed goes heavily one way unless they can McCain/Bush bash. How sad.
With concern,
