CBS exec: "How long was that contract?"
Well that was money well spent by CBS. /s
CBS?
Katie couric?
Who?
Are her numbers better or worse than Schieffer's?
Bring back Bob Schieffer.
I don't think the American people take her seriously and a hard news anchor. That is, if anyone still watches the nightly news anymore.
CBS exec: "How long was that contract?"
Goes to show you that CBS should not have gone with someone with the highest journalistic qualifications and experience. :-)
Well, everybody went to look at Miz Couric on her first night and, of course, Rush. After that, well, everybody has seen her and Rush isn't on again.
All this over a teleprompter reader. Amazing!
I wonder who'll be the first to cry sexism??
We should start a couple of pools.
How long will she keep the sole anchor slot?
How many millions will CBS pay to buy out her contract?
When she becomes a roving reporter, will they assign her to Outer Mongolia or Inner Mongolia?
When Kaite's contract is up and she asks for a raise I think CBS should borrow a line from Branch Rickey who said it best to Ralph Kiner:
"We finished last with you and we can finish last without you."
You can put lipstick on a Pig....
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.
And this can only get worse at this point...
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.
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!
