I wonder if they're wooing Walter Cronkite out of retirement.

Great call by CBS. They will replace her, but not till the end of the election just so they can have another dem cheerleader rahh-rahhing for them into Nov.
I’m sure whoever they get to replace perky Katie will be another dem shill. I know. I bet it will be Olbermann.

I’m surprised CBS didn’t axe this idiot after the first season. She gives straw for brains blondes a bad name.

By the end of this decade or shortly thereafter, television networks as we know them today will cease to exist. They will be just another url on the world wide web competing against millions of others.

Network evening newscasts will go dark after the ‘08 elections and their news divisions disbanded.

Katie should be the next Editor of the NY Times..... they’re always in need of a great journalistic talent.

More from the article:

Assuming the two part ways, it’s unclear what will happen to either the “Evening News” or Ms. Couric. CBS executives are investigating which prominent news personalities are nearing the end of their contracts.

One possible new job for the Ms. Couric: succeeding Larry King at CNN. Mr. King, who is 74 years old, has a contract with the network into 2009. CNN President Jon Klein, a CBS veteran with close ties to some at the network, has expressed admiration for Ms. Couric’s work, and the two are friends. They had lunch in late January, and the anchor attended Mr. Klein’s birthday party in March. Time Warner Inc.’s CNN said, “Larry King is a great talent who consistently delivers the highest profile guests, and we have no plans to make a change.” Through a publicist, Mr. King declined to comment.

Katie was a bust from day one ... her liberal handlers at CBS knew it but wouldn't admit it ... now they're looking for way out that won't make them out to be the incompetent jerks they really are.
