The NYT is probably comparing her to its performance. :-)

One victory at a time. Network news has outlived its usefulness.

Yeah, a network whose 'success' relies completely on nightly doses of corpses, autopsies, and mass murderers. A legacy to be proud of.
The sick world of the left.

Imagine what it must be like to live in an alternate universe. Fearing that you'll get into the real world at any moment.

I guess he hadn't seen the entire week's ratings? Friday Couric finished dead last among the three networks.

Couric is wildly successful???????????????????????? Of course she is. How can she be anything but. All that salary they pay her. All that promotion. Of course you love Couric's program because Moonves and CBS says you do.

If the aging demographics of the CBS Evening News do not improve the median viewers age is just over 60 years old selling spots to advertisers could grow more difficult. Geritol, Polident, Poli-Grip, The Scooter Store, Depends - All the great ones who used to sponsor Lawrence Welk.

Hiring Katie was a stunt. Not a strategy for long term success. This will end his career at CBS.

I had to watch that c**t for a few minutes just to see if she could pull it off.
Katie was looking a little haggard, and could not shake off the hard left bias in the choice of stories and the defeatist tone on stories from Iraq and the alarmist tone with everything else.
If SeeBS wanted to get a younger Demographic they needed to put on someone who was....younger. The Lexus/Nexus babe would have been a good choice.

Even my 80 year old Mom, who has watched the CBS Evening News since the 1950's refuses to watch Katie Couric. She watched once, and switched to NBC.
Mom says, "I can't stand her. I think they've only kept her on television because her husband died, and they felt sorry for her."
To: oyez
Oh, thank you for setting me straight.
I love Katie Couric
I love Katie Couric
I love Katie Couric
