Sometimes the jokes just write themselves

Putting lipstick on a pig (the newscast, not Katie).

Putting lipstick on a pig (both the newscast & Katie).

"We're very focused on editorial stuff, on stories

That's the problem, they are not focused on News! How 'bout sticking to the facts.

The Sex Pistols Liar might fit :)

Liar

Lie lie lie lie liar you lie lie lie lie
Tell me why tell me why
Why d'you have to lie
Should've realised that
Should've told the truth
Should've realised
You know what I'll do

You're in suspension
You're a liar

Now I wanna know know know know
I wanna know why you never
Look me in the face
Broke a confidence just to please
Your ego should've realised
You know what I know

You're in suspension
You're a liar

I know where you go everybody you know
I know everything that do or say
So when you tell lies
I'll always be in your way
I'm nobody's fool and I know all
'Cos I know what I know

You're in suspension you're a liar
You're a liar you're a liar
Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie

Lie lie lie lie liar you lie lie lie lie
I think you're funny you're funny ha ha
I don't need it don't need your blah blah
Should've realised I know what you are
You're in suspension you're in suspension
You're in suspension you're a liar
You're a liar you're a liar
Lie lie

Actually, I am partial to Donna Summer's "I Feel Love". (After all, you don't 'really' think the CBS news will have anything to do with "News" do you?

I wonder if they'll have breaking stories about PMS. And maybe Celine Dion can sing the theme song...

Katy Couric is going to flop so bad. Nobody will take her seriously as an anchor. And her politics is the same old leftism from CBS. She'll last about 5 years tops; her ratings will get worse every year.

Five months tops (a year at the outside, unless CBS is just idiotically obstinate ... well now, maybe five years after all!).

Someone should watch and see how much time is spent on NEWS and how much on OPINION and fluff. Just for one show... any volunteers??

Other songs tied to sinking ships that they might have considered:

Sink the Bismark

There's Got to be a Morning After

The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald

Nah. Not Captain Kangaroo.

I vote for the theme song from "Leave it to Beaver".
