"They Are Stabbing Me In The Back."

By golly I think we have found her a quip to close each night's telecast with.

New movie "The Couric Muntiny"

Opening line.... a dark stage, one single chair, much like a witness chair is brightly lit at center stage. The desk before the chair is rounded and oversize.

A short somewhat matronly woman who is working hard at disguising her 20 pounds of excess weight turns to the camera and says in a strained voice:

"It was disloyal officers, disloyal officers I tell you. There were missing strawberry-colored scripts, but my disloyal officers with their fancy suits and expense accounts lunches at the 21 Club caused all the problems....."

"They are stabbing me in the back."

No, Katie, that's Dr. Plotz and his amazing colonoscope. The anaesthesia should kick in any second now.

I will bet it would net her some viewers should she use it. ;^)

Bigskyfreeper, that was great idea, her new sign off lol! I never understood why the suits at the networks like her so much , I couldn't stand her even before I knew her politics.
No one I've heard speak of her can stand her. But the networks have made her wealthy. (?????) Can't understand it at all.

Can't happen to a nicer broad.

“Promos” (short for promotional announcements) are advertisements a station or network runs to promote their own programs. A 30 second televised message advertising Veg-O-Matic is called a “spot” (short for spot advertisement.) A 30 second message advertising the CBS Evening News is called a “promo.”

Promos are the lifeblood of an individual high-profile anchor’s ratings. The commercial time committed to promos is directly linked to increased ratings.

If a station or network has faith in a rising star reporter or anchor, they will run a “heavy rotation” of promos for that person. Likewise, if the network suits have little faith in the anchor, that personality will receive few promos.

Why not give everyone plenty of promos? It’s simple; there are only so many minutes available to run promos and spots during a 24 hour period. Every time a network airs a promo, they abandon the revenue that would have been produced by a commercial run during that same time period.

Thanks for the lesson. Suits like to euphemise promo/spot time by calling it inventory as in: NBC plans to introduce excitement to its fall lineup by delivering content at a quicker pace then repurposing remaining time as inventory.

"They Are Stabbing Me In The Back."

Perfect. LOL.

I might watch the sign off if she used it.

Last time I watched CBS news was when Dan Blather interviewed and railroaded Bush 41. And stopped the rest soon after. Nauseating.
