It all started in a 5000 watt radio station in Fresno, California.

"In a parody of the "Point-Counterpoint" segment of the news program 60 Minutes, Curtin portrayed the liberal viewpoint vs. right-wing conservative Dan Aykroyd. (Curtin would always present the liberal "Point" portion first, then Aykroyd would present the "Counterpoint" portion, beginning with the statement, "Jane, you ignorant slut!")"

excerpt from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Curtin

I stand corrected.

The Reporter also said that Couric said the "pretentious era" of evening-news anchors was going to end.

Ooo, kinder, gentler newcasts. Perhaps over some cawfee.

"People want a multidimensional (news anchor) and not someone they can put in a box."

I, for one, support putting Katie in a box.
