Imus-disses-Katie ping to Today show list.

[Larry Lucido]

"View video here."

Nah. Imus is every bit as unwatchable as Couric.

[Screamname]

A former cheerleader (and a current cheerleader of terror) may be good for "cawfee tawk" in the morning shows, but not for having a regular lying gig on See-BS. Dan Rather was able to lie with a complete poker face, but I don`t think Couric can do that.

No, what he doesn't get is that "....there is a chunk of the audience that, for whatever reason, is not comfortable getting their news from..." an IDIOT at 6:30.

[Suzy Quzy]

Blind Squirrel Ping.

[don-o]

I love Imus - so sue me. Thanks for the post!

not comfortable getting their news from a woman at 6:30

Can you IMAGINE the poopstorm that hit Kaplan from the ad sales force after that hit the wire?

[JayAr36]

Didn't realize that the burnout was still around.

[AmericanMade1776]

IMUS: "That's a completely different deal. Doing little stupid chit-chat stuff on an idiotic morning show on NBC has nothing to do with sitting down and doing the news. That's big-boy television."

Imus should know, because he does chit-chat stuff on an idiotic morning show on TV, he is an expert on it.

[roses of sharon]

Imus is unwatchable, and he is far from a "big boy", he is a punk who shills for the commie vampires.

As are his other "big boys" at the networks.

[poobear]

"He told me . . . he thinks that there is a chunk of the audience that, for whatever reason, is not comfortable getting their news from a woman at 6:30 and this is one of the attitudes they have to change."

Yes, we bodunks of Middle America and the South are not only racists but chauvinist pigs as well.

[ApplegateRanch]

Katie doesn't 'do news'.

Katie does "stories du jour". And does them to death. And recycles them regularly.

Often, I have already read some of Katie's "news" days, even weeks, previously right here, in FReeperland.


An evening newscast is supposed to news; magazine programs are supposed to do the 'in depth'.

I used to get more news in 15 minutes of Chet & David, than these yahoos give in 30 minutes.

Hell, Paul Harvey, even with all of his interminable ads, gives more news than the perky one.

[BluH2o]

... there is a chunk of the audience that, for whatever reason, is not comfortable getting their news from a woman at 6:30 and this is one of the attitudes they have to change."

As one pundit put it ... maybe the name Katie has something to do with it ...
who wants to get their evening news fix from someone named 'Katie'?
Diane Sawyer maybe ... not Katie.

[jla]

That set Imus off on an anti-Couric tirade: "It's unwatchable. And it's unwatchable because she's unwatchable. I'm sure she's a nice lady, but I mean . . ."

I think Katie C is a tad more watchable than Don Imus. And I know she has better legs!

[montag813]

Watching Don Imus is like watching a dead person speaking. Who is his producer, George A. Romero?

[RetiredArmy]

he thinks that there is a chunk of the audience that, for whatever reason, is not comfortable getting their news from a woman at 6:30 and this is one of the attitudes they have to change."

That line is the biggest chunk of B.S. that I have read recently. I think a lot of men would watch any babe give the news if she were creditable. I think most folks think the bitch is full of BS, thus they don't watch. I have not watched a evening network news cast in over 25 years. I think the last person I watched was John Chancellor on NBC. I think. It has been so long ago.

[StoneColdTaxHater]

I am not sure that Imus isn't dead

[veronica]

Diane Sawyer might make it on an evening news show, but Katie was bound to fail. She lacks gravitas, as they say.

[hunter112]

Pot, meet kettle. One loser dissing another loser. I cannot stand listening to Anus in the Morning.

...is not comfortable getting their news from a woman at 6:30 and this is one of the attitudes they have to change.
Classic liberal attitude - we have to change to meet their expectations. FU
