Bwahahaha! This is hilarious. She's going to make CBS tank even worse, you'll see.
And it's just fine by me! :)

"The audience is more sophisticated than we give them credit for -- they don't want a mechanical Ted Baxter," said Couric, 
Translation: "I'll produce higher quality fake documents so the pajama brigade won't be able to expose me as a fraud as easily as they did Rather."

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.
To: DCPatriot
"Anyone who watches 'Today' knows that I've done more hard-hitting interviews than any evening news anchor," she said. Having delusions of grandeur are we?

Remember Connie Chung on the evening news?
That's okay. Most others don't either.

Does this mean she'll wear her 'big girl' glasses while reading the news?

Ok, on FR we talk about real things that really happened with real solutions. On the MSM they talk about Utopias and the things that they resent for breaking up their Utopian images--which have must of us as their servants.
Now we get the MSM after eating Lotus petals. What the hell will that be?

Oprah Couric. This is going to be very bad for CBS. lol
To: DCPatriot
You just can't make this stuff up.
No wonder Hollywood has to recycle stuff. They can't parody life any more, since life has become a parody.

"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." er....uh....actually, Katie....we would LOVE to put you in a box.......don't worry, we would add tiny little air-holes.....

"The audience is more sophisticated than we give them credit for...”Anytime you see a talking-head use these words... you know their forte is serving up a sh_t-sandwich. I'm surprised Katie didn't use the term untermensch.

"....not someone they can put in a box." IMHO, lil' Katie doesn't realize that the US could be national debt free in hours if there was a government raffle or lottery, with the winner being able to "put her in a box".....

Her comment mid-article that viewers need to be addressed in a "more plain-spoken way" makes me gag. Condescending wench.

Translation: Couric announced her goal of an era of dumbed down feminized news that is meaningless.
