My original thoughts, upon hearing the decision to "cast" Couric in this role, was that it truly spelled the end of any credibility the MSM had for producing and reporting news. I still believe this.

Sadly, CBS had a chance. As painful as it could have been for their anchor, they could have decided to learn from the phenomenal success (whether you agree with them or not) of Fox News and report the news with, if not a conservative slant like Fox, a middle of the road stance...they would have gained millions of viewers and truly carved a niche for themselves, and might have even given a lift to network news. But heaven knows what I must have been drinking while thinking that...

"For CBS News, I'm Katie Couric, and I'm an attention whore. Good night."

Good Night!

"And who knows," she said, "maybe one will actually stick."

Is she talking about people actually watching her show?

They could have done a program for Americans instead of for the enemy.

Katie's sign off:

"Death to America!"

Probably, at least 100 local TV anchorettes across this nation of ours are thinking, how in the h*** did Katie Couric ever get this job? Who is she diddling?

Oh, great job, getting noted limp-wristed liberal Thomas Friedman to comment on Afghanistan.

Hey Katie - want to be fresh? Get someone other than Friedman to comment on world affairs.

Who's next? Ramsey Clark?

--Who is she diddling?--

Which begs the question to the President of CBS News, does Katie swallow?

"asking viewers for help in crafting a distinctive signoff"

Gee whiz, Katie - I think you should just adopt the sign-off that will never be rivalled......

COURAGE!
