Media Watchdog Labels Couric's First Year at CBS a 'ratings disaster'

A media watchdog organization says after a year in the anchor chair at CBS, Katie Couric's liberal approach has perpetuated the network's bias problem.

The Media Research Center (MRC) says for 15 years, Couric put her liberal fingerprints all over the Today Show. And after one year on the job at CBS, MRC spokesman Tim Graham says Couric has carried on the liberal tradition of Dan Rather.

"Katie Couric has been at it for a year at CBS. She's still a ratings disaster, and she's still channeling all the liberal bias, all the puff jobs for Hillary Clinton and Michael J. Fox. She has done what she has always done, and it's not working for her," says Graham.

No surprise, that was the school of thought when she left the today show. She failed before she tried. Question now is how will CBS wait to can her a$$....

No wonder her ratings are in the toilet. I dont know anyone who can stand to look at her. The left likes to make fun of George W’s smirk. But what about that permanent scowl on her face. Rotten egg smell, botched botox, Or did they forget to remove the colonoscopy scope from her big rear. It all started when she gave America a look straight up her A@@. Then again she looks about the same from either end and she is always talking out of both ends. I for one will be happy when she is no longer on the air anywhere.

she's still channeling all the liberal bias

I'd be concerned about this if network news mattered even slightly anymore.

At least, someone has the balls to report the truth here. It’s refreshing.

The field of hack-journalists-pimping-for-the-Democrats has reached the saturation point. Maybe she should try reporting the news(??)

As Paul Harvey said at the end of one of his broadcasts, “CBS has sent Katie Couric to Iraq to report on the war......Who says CBS doesn’t know how to get out of a long term contract?”.......good day! LOL
