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 NO.

There. It's fixed now.

I bet if you include non-news shows in the same time-slot, like reruns of Seinfeld or The Simpsons, then CBS probably falls to 5th or 6th place.

My word look at LA and DC!!! Multiples below.
Pretty soon they will have to use a log scale just to keep Katie and CBS on the ratings chart.

Rating disaster for CBS with Katie Couric. It's the Peter principle -- she's risen to the level of her incompetence.
Katie needs to go back to what she was doing, and CBS needs to hire an older conservative man to give the news. Someone like Bennett - (Book of Virtues) would work ... a person who has the "feel" of someone who knows the news matters - matters beyond an ego trip or a platform for self-aggrandizement.
Katie was fine at what she did - but she's no anchor...

cBS deserves every miserable rating they're getting. It couldn't happen to a nicer network, lol. Couric is out of her league and never should have been given the anchor job, but that being said, it is the CONTENT of the news at cBS that needs to change in order for viewership to improve. The editors should be fired at cBS for the biased, liberal, nauseating nonsense they spew each and every night.

The hair style in front of the camera only says what the producer behind the cameras says to say.
We have to purge ALL the support staff in order to have real news casts.

You'd think they'd love her. I guess people aren't as stupid as some think.

It's television!
They have their own "principles."
Katie probably
will come out of this
not just still on TV but
with her own news show
and a magazine
dedicated to her "style."
In television
a person just starts
when the Peter Principle
goes into effect!
To: razorback-bert
Boy, LA really doesn't like her.It appears LA doesn't watch the news...period.
Now if she spoke Spanish.....nevermind.

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!On the contrary, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, and CNN should all hire him as a consultant...
That is, when he's finished his gig at Air America.....LOL

"I guess people aren't as stupid as some think." Look at Congress, It's those "some" that elected them -- and the public is more than stupid --- they're suicidal.

I know I hear Savage rip into Hannity and Rush. That's why Levin gets on him. Hannity and Rush are Mark's friends and that's just how he is when his friends are trashed by anyone.
