OK, shame on me.
I was ready...and thus haven’t watched more than about 60 seconds of
CBS Eventing News since Katie’s arrival.
And that was enough to show me that I shouldn’t bother watching it.
LMAO, viewers fault,,,,,,,,,HELLO KATIE???? Did it EVER occurr to you that it’s YOU???
Oh yes, it’s MY fault I think she sucks....
How incredibly arrogant, Katie.
People just don’t like you Katie. They have been on to you for years but put up with you out of loyalty to days gone by morning news entertainment of the Today Show.
NBC saw the writing on the wall years ago and helped make it look more attractive for you to leave. You jumped the shark when you flirted with Hollywood. Remember, Hollywood builds you up just before they take you down.
I hope you saved your money.
Thanks for the insults, Katie, you arrogant propagandist ho.
Maybe if she ‘tarted up’ just a bit more..
She’s deluding herself, saying that the viewers weren’t ready for a female anchor. The viewers must be male sexist pigs since they didn’t like her.
News for you, Katie - you’re the problem. You are not interesting. You may be cute, but you just can’t hack it.
Go right on blaming it on your sex. Fool yourself. then you’ll fail again and again.
Try speaking well, coherently, grammatically, without bias. Then you’ll get viewers.
The media’s typical view regarding their viewers is that they are “six pack Harry’s”, i.e., too dumb to understand the real news.
No, she’s right, people AREN’T READY for her to be on the 6:00pm news.
Assuming an average person gets off at 5:00, home at 5:30, they’ve HARDLY HAD HALF A COCKTAIL.
An audience truely needs to be LOADED to listen to Couric.
She’d do better late night, I guess.
Aha! I see the exit strategy has finally begun.
The only time I watched it was when Rush was on during the freedom of speech portion. Even then I TIVO’d it and skipped through to Rush’s part.
Why would the viewers not be ready? CBS prepped us for months in advance of the move, even buying SuperBowl ad time...
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.
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.
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.
