Couric announced she is leaving Today

Today Show

[dmw]

The Pom Pom girl for the Today Show and DNC talking points activist is leaving the Today show to take the anchor's job at CBS

[Laserman]

GOOD RIDDANCE!!!

One of the few I actively avoided on TV.

[Fawn]

She will try to curb her enthusiasm when reading the anti-Republican news won't she? She was so giddy yesterday talking about Delay quitting.....she won't be able to do that as a serious CBS anchor will she?? I mean people won't stand for it or watch will they?

[djf]

How is she gonna be able to show off her legs behind an anchor desk?

Guess I'll have to start watching Jerry Springer...

[katieanna]

I can't believe they chose Meredith Viera. Why not Ann Curry? Or Lisa Myers? Lisa Myers has worked Capitol Hill for years.

[moonman]

Pretty bad that a large TV station such as CBS, with all it's affiliates, doesn't have a good minor league to groom one talking head for the majors.

The scouting agents for CBS must be ex-NY Yankee flunkies.

"This may be the straw that finally breaks CBS's back."

They weren't doing well anyway; this pretty much establishes SeeBS as 'THE' network for liberals. So they have a "base". Think of them as having been a barrel without a top or bottom - useless! Now the liberal audience is the bottom of the barrel.

"Katie, what's the frequency?"

[shadeaud]

Katie won't be able to interview tiny tim russert anymore, who will she dig up to bash the administration. By the way, has anyone noticed that the ever perky one hasn't shown her legs in a long time. I think the last time was when her cross dressing metro-sexual counterpart tried to emulate J-LO.

[freedomson]

CBS News?

Is that still on?

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Katie, to NBC:

[savedbygrace]

from "Maybe Today" (Anastacia)

All we ever need
Freedom lies beneath
Find a way (find a way)
All the fairytales and fantasies
That you need is within
Find a way today

AND

from Yesterday (Beatles)

Oh yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don`t know
she wouldn`t say

AND

from Tomorrow (from Annie)

Tomorrow is only a day away

Answer to your first question, no. Answer to your second question, yes. Answer to your third question, yes. The reason for this is, who is watching CBS News? 99.9% liberals who will love what Katie brings to CBS. You think CBS brass is going to tell her to be a fair and honest journalist? Don't think so.

[johnny7]

She either cried then... or when SD banned abortions.

[GeneD]

According to the FoxNews.com gossip Roger Friedman, Katie wont start her new job until mid-August. That's a lot of time to learn how to read headlines.

[beans36]

I remember Jonathan Alter crying after Bush won in 2000. That was special.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

..Katie wont start her new job until mid-August..

Sounds like a rockin' summer in The Hamptons for Katie.

[dmw]

I'm sure she'll be spending lots of time with Danny boy learning how to keep the news tilted to the left. She won't need much training there.

[stopem]

BTW our wedding was featured in June 1981 on the Today Show.

[dmw]

Was that back when you were a liberal? When did you finally come around to
seeing the light? ;-)

[xzins]

That will surely result in a fair and balanced evening news program.
