They've picked out their first blood sacrifice for this train wreck...

CBS's official line is "While CBS News ratings are up, NBC and ABC ratings are down." Technically, when CBS spokesman Gil Schwartz points out the numbers – CBS is up 8 percent from this time last year, with 7.4 million viewers

"We sucked so hard last year, that our slightly lower velocity suck this year practically blows."

Obviously, these people are specialists in spin.

Here's something I file under the "I don't understand" category. Advertisers who plug their products in breaks in their show are implicitly affiliating their products with her. Don't they get the fact that "Couric" is becoming synonymous with "loser" and "all hype, no substance"?

Nobody can quite figure out how Gil has managed to bungle Katie Couric's rep so badly.

huh ?

We hear Katie herself is fuming over Schwartz's inabilities to put the spin in her favor

I predict Soledad O'Brien of CNN, the next CBS anchor.

She made her fatal mistake when she asked the audience to suggest a closing. Walter Cronkite would never had done that, nor Dan Rather. It just labeled her as 'tacky', seeking approval, rather than commanding earned attention.

n the attack: USA Today's Peter Johnson, Matt Drudge, the Los Angeles Times, Broadcasting & Cable's Andrew Tyndall, the New York Times, Newday's Verne Gay, and the New York Post's Page Six all raking Katie over the ratings coals.

The ever-leftist inside-the-biz-wanna-be blog TVNewser casts a monochromatic eye on the Couric blowout and sees only Matt Drudge.

Meanwhile, the show must go on. And what will that show be? The same old leftist America bashing crap. They can devour their own all they want, replacing them with the same old same old isn't going to change anything.
