Not again?! This might be OK in the world of entertainment, but it's not a good start if Katie wants to be taken seriously in the news department.

I like the skinny one better, because there's less of her.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

who the hell is this?

[ThomasThomas]

Just removing the weight Americans don't want to see.

Cameras add weight photoshop takes away. The world is in balance.

The left pic makes her look like Tipper Gore. The right one makes her look like The Joker.

Fortunately, I won't be watching whichever one shows up on TV.

Hello! CBS! Why play around with the pic when your target audience will be watching her nightly. Or did the pick up Television Camera, Adobe Edition?

Inane.

[Plutarch]

Did they thin up her neck as well?

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

"Marge, I soaked in it!"

[stainlessbanner]

She just needs a green helmet

[Rome2000]

Why not just air a computer animation of this nitwit.

[patriciaruth]

Do they moonlight? I've got some photos that need a tummy tuck, too.

It's a cruel world out there, Katie. Believe me, I'll never judge you on the frills.

But if you slant the news or lie to me, I can be cruel, too.

I cannot believe the lengths they are going to promote this bonafide effin` idiot. Like I posted in another thread, here in NYC you would think the second coming of the Messiah was coming down to save the masses, everywhere you look they have this bimbos picture. It`s like some sort of sick Stalin, Saddam, Kim Jung Il messiah complex, her freakish mug is everywhere. The only thing missing is the 50 ft statues. For example, read this...Note the amount of buses they say...

Couric To Ride the Bus -- Every Bus

"The face of Katie Couric will appear on every single bus in the city of New York as part of an unprecedented $10-million campaign to promote her ascension to the anchor's desk at the CBS Evening News, the New York Times reported Sunday. The network also flew news anchors from its top 48 affiliates to New York to interview Couric for features that will be presented on each local station, the newspaper said. The promotional campaign for Couric, the Times observed, is comparable only to those mounted for hit primetime shows like CSI. Broadcasting & Cable magazine observed that a massive New York poster campaign will also target New York subway stations and Grand Central and Penn stations. CBS is also set to become the inaugural sponsor of the New York Times new online TV section, launching Sept. 4. Couric told the Times that she expects her program will be distinguished by the fact that it will spend less time on "news of the day" and focus "on longer takeouts, if you will." She said that it will also devoted 90 seconds or so each night to a segment titled "Free Speech" that will present opinions of ordinary Americans, scholars, and sometimes even comedians."

As if 911 wasn`t bad enough, now we have to be tortured by this nightmare?

[Khurkris]

she done cleaned up real nice...

[Steely Tom]

Do these parameters make me look fat?

[Bogtrotter52]

I have not watched her in years. Let's face it she is beginning to have the image of "Whatever happened to Baby Jane" rather than that of the girl next year when she started.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

This is just the tip of the iceburg of what technology can do.

All the women on the show Sex and the city had their bodies and faces digitally altered frame by frame on each episode to make them look younger, remove any wrinkles and crows feet, more shapely, and more attractive.

This goes on these days more than anyone can even conceive. Many of these people way different in real life.

CBS News is an entertainment division. Not very entertaining, but...

Here's the real photo

[Bon mots]

She's got granny-arms.

[Manic_Episode]

Fake, but inaccurate.
