Network news is dead
I remember Couric back in 2000, and I was watching NBC coverage late into the night. And when it was announced they were giving FL officially to Bush she threw a tantrum in front of Brokaw, and she said something like "that is premature." I am sure some of you remember that.

Is Katie Colon the "editor" of her news broadcast? Is she responsible for the stories that are covered or is she just the "news reader"? What she considers news is fluff. She is ruining CBS news. She does not have the "bones" to give the broadcast gravitas.

Put in a call to EIB. Maybe Rush can bump her ratings again.
To: abb
What Katie needs is a co-anchor, I suggest they bring Bryant Gumble over from the NFL Network and give him $15 million a year too.
Hey, I just wanna help!
To: LiberationIT
"If you ask what makes Katie different from Brian and Charlie, it isn't that she's smarter or more experienced. I happen to think both of them are terrific. It's that she IS different. And that has everything to do with her being a woman, although certainly not every woman is Katie Couric. And it's refreshing, a change, a real addition to the evening choices because she is there, which is one of the strengths of diversity, and of changing the status quo."
This absolute drivel is from one of Susan Estrich's recent
postings on another website.... total diversity dreck.....!!
About the only thing(s) Perky Katie has going for her
are her legs; other than that, well, call me a sexist, but
I think there are a lot of other and better folks out there
that the Communist Broadcasting System could have chosen
for that evening "news" anchor slot.... and most of them
were men, too......... keep tuned; the
charges of "sexist pigs" is soon to be heard.....

Katie Couric Topless?
WHY??!??!??!???
Jeez, she's 50 for crying out loud.... no one needs to be seeing what 50 years of gravity and no bra equals.

Is Katie Colon the "editor" of her news broadcast? Is she responsible for the stories that are covered or is she just the "news reader"? The anchor traditionally has the title of Managing Editor also. Whoever has that title has final say on what is aired.

Agreed.
I liked Schieffer.
I rarely watch his nightly newscast, but that's because they overdosed on liberal propaganda. Had they just dialed back their partisanship and kept him in the anchor chair, I'd have watched fairly regularly.
Katie's a lightweight that CBS thinks has enough star power to lift its network. No, people like the chemistry between Katie & Matt and were accustomed to watching Today. Plus she used to be more perky then bitter. Well, she doesn't have the Today show. She doesn't have Matt. She's no longer perky, and her legs don't really belong on Nightly news.
So what's left is an aging Leftist that offers nothing distinct from the other two networks.

Oh you know damned well as the Katie titanic goes sinking the blame will not be with her, the CBS news staff or anyone else at CBS... it will all be because of those indiot hick sexist yokels in the red states.
Liberals never take responsibility for their own shortcomings... its always someone elses fault.

CBS exec: "How long was that contract?" Here's the plan... Slip a couple of outrageous racial ephitets into the teleprompter feed. Perkie Katie will read them onto the air live, and then they can fire her for cause!

Katie is not the problem. The viewers are the problem. It's the viewers who are abandoning her and don't know a good thing when we give it to them. -CBS management
