Shameless ploy to get ratings, which didn't work.

[hnj_00]

who saw it????

does anyone actually watch that perky little couric???

[John W]

"Ms. Couric has shown that she is capable of doing better..."

I missed that event.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

she is just not very bright.

[slick8790]

she's turning in to larry king.

[KCRW]

I'm with you.

When did Katie show that she was more than make-up and teeth?

[imintrouble]

And another shameless ploy to direct us to Couric's blog...which no doubt will exhibit fawning drool from all the sob sisters in the nation.

I'm "gonna hafta" write her one day yup - (or maybe not).

Lord save us from this pap broadcasting.

[CAWats]

Who?

[Always Right]

This display of sensationalist broadcasting is spectacularly inappropriate at a time when thousands of people are dying in Iraq, or retuning from war horribly injured and maimed - a daily occurrence that's sure to continue for many months."

Oh boy, there is a news story that never gets any coverage. Hey, how about a news story of the victories in Iraq or the numerous positive things that our soldiers are doing in Iraq.

[NonValueAdded]

It hardly fits with their campaign to market her as "Kate Couric" with the larger gravitas.

[crazyhorse46]

Five of the ten people who watch CBS Evening News liked it.

DFW viewers apparently don't like Katie Couric

Couric's exclusive interview with Dallasite Karen James, widow of Mount Hood climber Kelly James, fell flat in the local Nielsens Thursday. It placed a distant fourth at 5:30 p.m., even though the anchor blew in and out of Dallas that morning and devoted the entire second half of her newscast to the James interview. Here's a telescoped look: NBC Nightly News -- 149,940 homes Fox4 local news -- 130,900 homes ABC World News -- 116,620 homes CBS Evening News -- 73,780...

[Bean Counter]

I didn't watch it, but for anyone who did, was there any mention of the fact that none of three was a local, and that the entire cost of the search and rescue will fall to the State of Oregon?

Any mention of the fact that there will likely be no insurance proceeds for any of the families because most insurance carriers exclude death from that kind of activity from the policy??

Didn't think so.

"When did Katie show that she was more than make-up and teeth?

When she dressed as Peter Pan and flew...One of her more imfamous Halloween customs on her former morning show.

[Malone LaVeigh]

This sort of thing is katie's M.O.
Anyone who witnessed her blood dance following Columbine shouldn't be surprised by her antics.

[CBart95]

Ease up on her.

Its fairly clear to just about everyone that with her: there is no "there" there.

She's merely a reflection of the morons at corporate who think they know whats best for all of us morons out here in the "heartland".

Those wonderful liberal Mainstream Media Mavens.

“It was, we should note, a slow news day yesterday, one in which Donald Trump's latest publicity stunt was among the top stories at many media outlets.”

And afterall, nobody wants to hear about Sandy Berger...

[mrmargaritaville]

My question is-how did she work blaming Bush for the death into the interview, because I KNOW she did blame him in some way shape or form.

[BW2221]

"she is just not very bright."

But you gotta admit, she is perky.

[AmericanMade1776]

Shameless ploy to get ratings, which didn't work, written by CBS.
