LAS VEGAS (Hollywood Reporter) - Katie Couric hopes to bring a "humanistic, more accessible" approach to her job when she takes over as anchor and managing editor at "CBS Evening News" in September, she said Thursday.
Addressing the annual convention of CBS affiliates, Couric predicted that the "pretentious era" of the evening-news anchor is going to be a thing of the past.
"The audience is more sophisticated than we give them credit for -- they don't want a mechanical Ted Baxter," said Couric, whose last day as co-anchor of NBC's "Today" was Wednesday. "I'm a serious, caring, compassionate person. I hope that comes out. ... People want a multidimensional (news anchor) and not someone they can put in a box."

--- Asked by Stahl why many viewers may have lost their trust in the media, Couric said she thinks that the media are "held captive by spin," choosing to repeat "two separate spins" rather than search for the facts in a story. ---
What does that quote mean? "Two separate spins?" The MSM 90% of the time only reports the liberal slant on things.
Hey Katie, how about how your new network lied through its teeth on the bogus Bush National Guard story? Where were the "two separate spins?"
Liberal whore.
--Can't wait for the 'humanistic' heart-rendering stories of victims of affirmative action, software engineers losing their jobs to H1B imports, of Americans dying in emergency rooms while illegal aliens get priority treatment.--
Hilarious! How about a 'humanistic' story about the crime victims in Houston, Atlanta and other cities who took in these Katrina evacuees?
Katie Couric - stuck on stupid.
Hey Katie, if you "cared" so much, why not report on the millions of unborn babies killed every year in this country and billions of dollars abortion "doctors" make murdering them?
How about the truth Katie?
Yeah,right!I heard her brag about her"hard-hitting"interviews(except when HildeBeast,etc.etc.,was the subject)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excuse me while I go and BARF!!!
They (LiboCrites)actually think that they are MAINSTREAM!Their collective Disconnect is breathtaking!!
I can just imagine how she will cover The War on Terror!She'd do a story on how the fine art of beheading is once again being taught to young people!!
We define you decide
Good one!
When a liberal states they are not doing or being something, they have defined themselves.
Right, I would rather be cuddled than have respect for those who "keep the gates" of the news they allow us to hear.
Like all those budding teachers of 20-30 years ago that wanted "their" students to call them by their first names. That was really successful.
Actually, the more I think about it - given the drivel babbled by both teachers and news readers - it is a good thing that their audiences don't respect them.

Cuddly-wuddly courses leading to students who can't bear the real world leading to cuddly-wuddly newscasters who simply reinforce the delusions of the adults who want to live in playrooms. rhetorical How did we get in this mess? /rhetorical McVey
Ahh, what DOES one wear to a beheading?
This spells the end of facts. Not to mention logic.
Nothing but mush from now on. And Algore. Couric loves him and has basically annointed him as the next Prez.
The latest Burkha from Bergdorf's?
