I may be forced to watch the news on the MSM if FOX does not fire their makeup person.

Last night Greta Van Susteren and Page Hopkins looked like Halloween characters.

Of course, La Couric looks like that without funky makeup.

I can't help but think of all the people she encountered on her way to the top at NBC. What must they be thinking?

Just shows how out of touch the big three executives really are. Why did they think having this old liberal read a teleprompter was something most of America wanted to see? T.V. sucks!

And yet, with all of this, they still won't or don't have a clue.

I don't know whose brilliant idea it was to pay this airhead 20Mil a year to read a teleprompter for twenty minutes a night, five nights a week but whoever it was SHOULD BE FIRED!

LOL! Double-Dog-Dittos to that!!

It's a Chetznian candy bar.

......LA really doesn't like her........

The problem is signal lag. It takes a while for the signal to cross America. It will improve with time as it finally gets out there.

Yes, they should be fired!

Words cannot express how bad she is. I tuned in for five minutes one night, and realized she is way out of her element..

CBS should keep her :)

Carola,


Let's see if she starts showing a little cleavage. Not that that would help -- it is Katie Couric after all.


That's in POOR taste ... Katie does have a daughter, remember ? No daughter should have to watch her Mom parade around half-naked on TV just for Fame and Money.

Katie is a PATHETIC silver-spooned liberal, who's been Lobotomized by the Dan Rather - Molly Ivans media axis for decades.

Is Katie dead wrong and a traitor 15 perecnt of the time ? YES.

Is Katie a defacto cheerleader for Hillary (ad nausuem) ? YES.

Is Katie Couric a really attractive, classy, intelligent woman ... who has enough confidence in her own feminine grace and beauty NOT to get artificial silicone breasts ?

YES.

One final point. Katie Couric KNOWS that the Dinosaur MSM is on it's last legs ... and I know with certainty that she's secretly pissed that CBS overlooked her (for idiots like Dan Rather) for decades ... simply because she's a woman.

I'd love to find a Conservative, Christian, (divorced) Mom that has all of Katie Couric's attributes ... BUT with Ronald Regegan's philosophy.

She needs to be more emotional about her passions and persuasions. This will help ratings.

Whenever I get discouraged about the November elections, which is not often, I contemplate the failures of Katie Couric, The Dixie Chicks, and The New York Times. They indicate to me that the vast majority of Americans have no interest in supporting people afflicted with Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS). Unfortunately for the Donks, BDS is all they have to offer.

This should not come as a surprise to anyone with half a brain. The program isn't bad, it is totally unwatchable. It has no redeaming qualities. Her ratings will continue to fall until the only people registering are the ones who died with their televisions on.

If she wears a burkha, perhaps al Jazeera will hire her.
