I give her 6 months...no more than that.

[samadams2000]

Shes a mean little marxist to the core. It will come through the tv the first week shes on the air. This will be the second worst business decision ever made. "New Coke" being the #1.

[TBP]

So how is this different form what Murrow, Cronkite, Rather, and Schieffer have been doing?

[shield]

Wishful thinking on cBS's part. She'll not pull them out of the sh*tter...'cause she's nothing but just another piece of all the turds out there from the left.

[umgud]

Katie has a plastic look to her face. She looks like a phoney. I don't see where every body thinks she's pretty or cute.

[WestTexasWend]

Didn't see it in the list, but was it Katie who speculated there was a problem with air traffic controllers when the second plane hit the WTC on 9/11?

[Lancey Howard]

Good column.

Cronkite was a liberal Democrat, but very sneaky about pushing the Democrat agenda. Rather was a liberal Democrat, and not nearly as sneaky as Cronkite at pushing the Democrat agenda. Couric is a liberal Democrat, and is such a simpleton and a lightweight that any attempt by her to be sneaky will be quickly laughed off by the viewing public.

I predict that Couric will be the next Connie Chung.
I give her two years, since CBS will do whatever it can to make this work. Hopefully, this hire can kill CBS News off completely.

[hosepipe]

Courics appointment as anchor proves cBS problems are much higher up.. maybe Les Moonbat and the sub-Moonbats..

[OldFriend]

If only cutie and her cohorts would move to France and leave us in peace. I am quite sure America would survive without them.

[Conservative4Ever]

revered Walter Cronkite.

Oh Puhleeeeeeze. He is as bad as couric if not worse. I give her at the most 6 months before she crashes and burns.

[Opening the show in September 1999, Couric gleefully said: "Good morning. The Gipper was an airhead!]

Thanks for the insight Couric, now that you're taking over the CBS Comedy News, the viewers will learn the true meaning of an airhead.

[CyberAnt]

Excuse me .. "revered Walter Cronkite"


What's to revere. The man, along with John Kerry and Ted Kennedy, cost the live of about 48,000 soldiers in Vietnam. He did this by LYING ABOUT THE TET OFFENSIVE - and he told the public we had lost that battle. IT WAS AN OUTRAGEOUS LIE. At the time of his statement - we had already lost 10,000 soldiers - but the final count on the Vietnam Memorial Wall is over 58,000.

The guy should have been tried for TREASON.

Within no more than 5 years, CBS evening news will be off the air.

[Theresawithanh]

"Discussing Time magazine's Person of the Year issue, which honored the American soldier, she told editor Jim Kelly: "Tell me why you all decided to honor the American soldier? Wondering why there's no woman on the cover, too?" Kelly pointed to the cover and said: "This is a woman." Couric: "Oh, there you go, oh sorry ... I couldn't tell because of her helmet."

LOL! Her perkiness ain't known for her brains, is she? Didn't watch the Communist Broadcasting Station evening news before Katie, and for sure won't watch it now.

[SamAdams76]

In this era of internet, issue-driven talk radio and 24/7 cable news networks, is there any particular reason why broadcast television is still insisting upon pissing money away on a news department? I mean, it's not like they are bringing anything innovative to the table. They are just regurgitating "news" that has already been widely reported and disseminated elsewhere. If I owned or operated one of these dying broadcast networks, I'd scrap the news departments entirely and show re-runs of TV shows. At least I'd turn a profit during those time slots that I could use to give myself a bigger golden parachute for when the whole broadcast model collapses around me.

I can't imagine who gets their news from the "broadcast networks" anymore except for shut-ins who can't afford computers and cable TV and the elderly who just don't know any better.

I haven't watched a traditonal "networks news" broadcast since Reagan was in the White House and MTV was still playing music videos.

Puh-leeze

[Revolting cat!]

A John Ellis in this morning's WSJ has a bit different take on it. The piece is titled Fatten Before Sale , and the idea is that Les Moonbat is trying to increase the value of the division (which by Ellis' estimate costs CBS $400 mill per annum), and then dump it. Couric apparently has a sizeable following among women viewers who otherwise don't watch the evening news. He hopes they will now.

[ncountylee]

Walter Cronkite was falsely revered only because of MSM's total control of the "news" during the Nam era.

[macamadamia]

Colonic or Crapkite, what's the difference? The former is a pimple on the festering ass that is our current liberal pop-culture. The other is a crusty old bastard of a creep who has yet to pay for his Vietnam-era subversion.
