The public thinks the press dwells excessively on negative news. But there is new evidence that members of the public are far more cynical than journalists about the nation's leaders. That surprising conclusion is the main finding of a detailed study of attitudes about the news media being released this morning by the Times Mirror Center for the People and the Press in Washington. The study included a national telephone survey as well as interviews and focus groups with journalists, business executives and community and political leaders.

For the much-troubled CBS, bad news has come in such bunches that the network's executives were hard pressed this weekend to measure exactly how serious the impact will be from the latest unwanted development: the removal of Connie Chung from her anchor chair on "CBS Evening News." However bad it is for the network to have to admit it made a mistake two years ago when it teamed Ms. Chung with Dan Rather, the situation could get worse, these executives said. An ugly round of charges seems imminent, of sexist decision-making on the one hand and of Ms. Chung's lackluster performance on the other.
