Source: TV Week Katie Couric is hinting that she knows why her CBS Evening News telecast has struggled in the ratings. In an interview with The New York Times Magazine, Couric indicates the reason for her third-place finish among evening news broadcasts might have something to do with the local news lead-in on CBS stations. Asked why she thinks her broadcast remains in third place, Couric responded, "I believe we were in third place for 13 years before I got here, and I think habits, particularly with an evening news broadcast, move at a glacial pace. And I think that local news stations have something to do with it."
But Couric backed off when asked whether she meant local affiliates weren't providing a strong enough lead-in. "Some people have said that local news is really important in terms of lead-ins, she said. I havent really analyzed that. Im just saying what Ive read or some of the theories about it."
I guess it was all those icky little people who did not appreciate her charm and beauty.

I hate to say this...but Dan Rather at age 25...had twice as much talent as she does right now.
As long as she promotes the liberal viewpoints, no one will take her seriously. I don’t.
She is the problem and that is that.
A strong lead-in? I guess that would be:
“stay tuned for free beer and pizza PLUS a video game of your choice”?
Katie, you miserable s&&&t!
It ain’t because you aren’t attractive, you are, and cute to boot.
It ain’t because you aren’t smart, you’re pretty smart. Not Dianne Sawyer smart but you’re okay smart. Pretentious and wannabe smart but that’s as far as it goes.
You approach news from a preconceived point of view, not an informed point of view. Doesn’t mean you aren’t informed but your motivation is preconceived.
In short, you are best or were at your schtick of being perky.
That time has passed and I don’t see how you can honestly continue in the news industry.
I believe your time has come and gone.
You are now Jane Pauley and it’s time to move on.
It's not Perky Car-Wreck's fault that she's such a loser ping
Poor Katie. Those yucky viewers west of Manhattan are such trouble makers.
If Couric were an UNbiased reporter who evenly presented the news I’d watch her.
BUT she and Ms. Sawyer and the majority of the MSM have an agenda they continue to push and that agenda is the liberal one.
Screw their one world antiAmerican B.S.
The hand-off from Couric to Pelley of the anchor chair is gonna get really ugly real quick. It already has.
Notice how Moonves - the guy who installed her and decided to pay here millions - is nowhere to be found. He’s using underlings to do the dirty work of firing her.
Ugly, ugly, ugly!!
EVERYBODYS_FAULT_BUT_MINE_PING!

Ugly, ugly, ugly!!
The Nitwork Newsers have been screwing up for years.
They change what the Brits rightfully call "News Readers" into "Anchors" - and wind up with celebrity clowns and their agents.
They change news into entertainment and wind up with neither.
They ignore blatant leftist bias and alienate 60-80 percent of their potential market.
Throughout all of this, the bigwigs have never, ever been held really accountable for the consequences of their poor decisions ... until now.
And that means it's about to get ugly, ugly, ugly!!
It’s not Katie and her perky but cold socialism, it’s the 233 local broadcasts. Somehow, I’m not seeing that.
saying what Ive read ...
I’m not Sarah but I’d like to know where did she read that, what newspapers or magazines???? Where did she get that info?

Don’t Blame Katie Couric
If America’s sweetheart couldn’t save the evening news from a slow death, who can?

Today in Whither Goest Katie Couric?
What were the words she used? The washed masses or something like that. Guess those masses didn’t appreciate her elitist attitude.
I also love how all who have trashed Sarah suddenly find themselves out of work. That just proves the Bible is true - God says, “vengeance is mine, I WILL repay saith the Lord.” His words are true.
It’s reading OFF a teleprompter you leftist turd! And your legs are skinny and bony!
