Facebook has gone Twitter and there’s new technology coming to go beyond. Maybe Katie can tweet from her Blackberry “Katie Couric has 6 friends”.... “Katie Couric bought a latte at Starbucks”

In that same paragraph: “He looked like a man who realized someone under the podium was trying to twist a pineapple up his backside.”

Classic Steyn

VDMA, Kitty

The answer to CBS News problem is simple: hire a more conservative anchor, more conservative reporters and producers. Distinguish yourself from NBC and ABC and the ratings will improve.

The three broadcast networks, CNN, MSNBC and PBS are all going after the 20% liberal market share, leaving the 40% conservative share exclusively for FNC.

Scary thought, who are the wizards of smart at CBS going to replace Katie with?
They never go in the right direction so logic would dictate that they choose someone worse than Katie ;^)

lolol.

The fact that Katie Couric is still on the job illustrates the fact that, contrary to what we've always been told, the profit motive is not the bottom line.

Propaganda is the bottom line. Propaganda is the reason why the media exists. It facilitates the dissemination of the soma we're all supposed to swallow.

Hard labor? What these writers and the CBS newsreaders know about hard labor could be deposited up an ant’s rectum and it would rattle around like a pea in a boxcar.

It was comical to see her break into the solid news reports to deliver a touchy-feely segment.

I was LOL at the first time early on she came out from behind the anchor desk to do a live interview situated in such a way as to totally exploit her legs and high heels, as though that's why men would be tuned in to watch, not any desire for hard news! I think that bit last twice more, after that any interview was conducted the usual way.

“Hard labor”? Yep, watching her is liking watching a woman give birth. Can’t do either.

Why all the layoffs when they were so factually accurate with the 87,000 Beck rally numbers? (sarc)

If you go to the link provided by See B.S. a lie jumps right off the page. They used an old leftist skunk trick. They took the pictures very early. How do I know? I was there and our cab driver said he had never seen a bigger crowd so early. He was talking about having passed by at about 9 AM. We arrived at 10:30AM and there were about 40 to 50 k people around the base of the Washington Monument. The picture they used shows NO ONE sitting around the base of the monument.
THIS is the trick these scumbags use. They show up and wait until the amount of people they WANT to report get there, they take their pictures and leave. They pulled this same stunt last last at a Support Israel rally in Fort Lauderdale. Again, I was there I KNOW the real turn out and the Miami Herald lied.
