"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."

I keep "hearing" her patent ambush...."Some people say that you......"

Ah, gee, warm fuzzy-wuzzy news. I feel, well, just so cuddled.

And the dumbing down of America continues.

People Magazine meets the evening news.

Forgive me if I never watch it. Again.

Translation of Couric's comments: "The news still isn't liberal enough. We need to stop pretending we're reporting facts at all and go with the 'All demagoguery, all the time' strategy from now on."

--- 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. ---

Bless her little lying liberal heart. BARF!

Sorry Katie, but I never respond to unattributed quotes. Would you care to be more specific?

I absolutely believe that Couric will hold to this pledge to Oprah-ize the news so that liberalism, and its worship of emotions and feelings, will dominate. In contrast, anything conservative will be viewed as harsh, and evil, lacking compassion.

Mark my words. You watch. (I won't.)

The audience is more sophisticated than we give them credit for --

Patronizing with a dash of condescension thrown in for good measure ... typical Couric.

"Couric hopes to end "pretentious era" in news"

ROFL. Is there anyone more pretentious (and contentious) than this smug, arrogant, condescending stupid twit?

Please, save me.

So, Katie, Dan Rather was Ted Baxter?

Thinking about it, their voices were similar, but Rather was hard to take seriously.

"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."

"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?

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