"I think one thing that I realized, looking back at it and analyzing it, is people are very unforgiving and very resistant to change," Couric told this week's New York magazine.
The public reassessment marks a huge change for America's Sweetheart, who burst on to the stodgy network news scene last year as its first solo female anchor. But as her "CBS Evening News" ratings have plunged and her bosses mull changes to the show, Couric cast herself as a survivor - so far.
"I've gone through a bit of a feeding frenzy and there's blood in the water and I've got some vulnerabilities," she said.

I can see another shining face on CBS evening news in the near future.
Yeah, it’s OUR fault that you went from a morning show fluffball to trying to succeed at reading the nightly news!
New York Magazine says she hates the word “sputum”. I say people should start yelling “SPUTUM!” at her instead of hello.
Oh I was ready! I never watched CBS(or NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, etc.) News to begin with.
You may want to check with your cable provider. Lots of decoder boxes, like Scientific Atlanta models, come with integrated didgital recorders now. Same functionality as a TiVo but supported more directly by your cable company so may make for less service hassles.
The only amazing thing is that this whole slow motion train wreck was soooo predictable to us know-nothings here at FR and comes as such a complete shock to the media geniuses at 30 Rock. Go figure.
OK, Thanks!
Perhaps America wasn’t ready to accept an anchor with no journalistic credibility and who’se only qualification was that she used to be cute and perky. Face it Katie, your hiring was a stunt by CBS execs in a lame attempt to get ratings based on curiosity.
Also, isn’t a high rating for a show like Today a lot lower than one for the evening news?
It used to be, but I’m not sure about now, since evening news ratings have been falling for 25+ years....
Yes if you buy a TIVO you have to subscribe to TIVO’s service for it to work.
If your cable provider gave you a box, it may have the same capability as TIVO, just a clumbsier interface.
Do I prefer someone telling me it is raining while they are standing and pissing on my leg or squatting on my shoe doing the same?
You have watched 60 seconds more that I have.
That’s right, Katie, we weren’t ready for you. And you can tell your bitchy buddy Hillary that we’re not ready for her, either.
People who’ve seen the show say that she is truly horrible.
And I sure can’t dis-”sputum”.
But I could have told you, Katie,
This world was never meant for one As beautiful as you.
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen,
they're not listening still.
Perhaps they never will...
This world just wasn't ready for Katies greatness <sniff>
Thanks for the link!
