Alas Couric, I knew her well! Is this the end of tha whilrd newz tanite of ancient lore - where the only three networks produced the same stories as read by three highly coifed (not queeffed) professional news readers? Is this the setting sun of their age of information control? Ms. Couric has a huge salary to come in third place. Even altruistic true-believer socialists who know better than the disdained public understand the bottom line. Is she their last best hope? I don't even know who reads the news for ABC and NBC any longer. This is the most wonderful irony of all - the grinning star going slowly into the hollywood pergatory of obscurity. hahahahahahahahahaha... (not to laugh at Couric's misfortune).

This is the most wonderful irony of all - the grinning star going slowly into the hollywood pergatory of obscurity.

After all this hype, she will not be able to go back to being a morning personality. That bridge is burned. After six months of listening to how Katie Couric is much more than a morning show-type, nobody is interested in seeing her back in that role.

She will either have to succeed as the CBS Evening News Anchor, or nothing.

In other words, she's toast.

What is really funny is the incredible salary that she is paid and it is a locked in contract. If they fired her tomorrow they have to pay up.

CBS News:
1. Ratings are in the tank
2. Ratings are trying to find the bottom of the tank.
3. Contracted to pay mulit-millions to Couric for
tanking their ratings.
4. Seems like Deja Vu Rather all over again. :)

I love the smell of burning Nielsen Ratings in the morning.
