I suppose the other option is to have her do the news naked or something. There is already a website doing that...ummm!!! I've heard...or maybe ummmm! seen???
Please don't send her to that site......
The news is actually quite good on nakednews.com
(I only go there for the news stories.)
So,I don't think she would be a good fit in that lineup.
She should really stay at SeeBS.

How long before she sheds all the new viewers old Bob Scheiffer brought on board in the last year?

Time to get more liberal, Katie!
She could refer to everyone as comrade or refer to anyone who is not a communist as an imperialist American pig! ;o)

At best, having Limbaugh as a commentator was a two-edged sword. Maybe he helped make the viewership
decline less steep on day 3 of CBS's Colonic Couric.
DrudgeRadio last night said that Thursday's broadcast was even more leftward to apparently "balance" Limbaugh's commentary.
They might have got a tune-in factor, but that audience isn't the one they are said to target.
So, assuming anybody watching CBS for Rush were more turned off by the leftist slanting than not.
As well as anybody expecting "real" news.
All that's left for Her Perkiness is a wardrobe malfunction, and that's been done before, (and again on
Kimmel via Britt Hume), and the FCC's cracking down on that gratuitous technique.
To: Calvin Locke
We need a routine scrolling thread with her nightly rating...

It appears that the new format that cbs is using stinks. People that want the news aren't watching for the fluff stories.
If that's true, then send her an email telling her what a wonderful job she and CBS are doing. LOL!

Pretty "perky".
Too bad she is a left-wing succubus.

What YOUTH MARKET??? Katie is a freakin Boomer... If that's their idea of a YOUTH market.. they are more messed up than anyone could imagine.
At 34 I sure don't consider a 50 year old "perky" ditz "young" and "hip".
Sorry, but at 50, you only have about 2 decades of men who are going to remotely find her young, if THAT... guys in their 60s and 70s.
Network news just needs to return to reporting the facts and leaving their spin out of the reporting... and of course what is selected to be covered.
It may be boring, but PBS News Hour, blows the evening news broadcasts out of the water in terms of presenting the major events of the day and some reasonable analysis of them. I don't agree with much of the analysis, but still they do a far better job than any of the majors.
