2. Sadly, you are not imagining things.
I've noticed this too. The infotainment quality of 20-20 declined precipitiously( more 'tainment; less info) when B Walters left and Vargas and J Stossell took over and it appears that, when Jennings is gone, WNT will follow suit.

I'm choosing to look at it as part of what I hope is a constructive evolution. Media is undergoing a fundamental realignment with thinking people going more to the net (and to a lesser extent print media) and away from electronic infotainment.
