Hard to know who is more annoying - Katie Couric or Diane Sawyer. Both of them have tried to force their “Oprah” style onto the evening news and have lost tons of viewers in the process.
When Elizabeth Taylor died, ABC News spent the first NINE minutes blathering on about what a role model she was for women - first million dollar salary, not afriad to get divorced, strong champion of social issues, etc! It was nauseating - by the time they finally got to the rest of the day’s news, they spent a whopping five minutes total on the war in Libya and the situation in Japan.....
Scott Pelley would be a major step up from Perky Katie because, while he might have a liberal bias, he doesn’t also have a feminist bias like too many of the LSM women - “I am too as tough as all the guys-I am - I am - I am! And if you don’t say so, I’m gonna cry.... and then pull out the sexist label when you call me on it!”
BTW, what ever happened with Lara Logan? That story sure got dropped quickly, didn’t it?
According to Bernard Goldberg, Couric has lost 3-million viewers since she took over the anchor’s chair...
