CBS Fires Katie Couric's Top Producer
There is a very simple formula towards becomng the most successful news program around:
Present the news and nothing but the news; unbiased; not to the left; not to the right; even if the person presenting the news is known to be a lefty or a righty.
But better would be somebody that doesn't advertise their leanings, like Couric does.

She's a left wing partisan liar, and just about everybody knows it Its not just that she is a leftie partisan. She lacks.. err..well , how shall we say, .. whats the right word.. aah. yes.. GRAVITAS.
Katie Couric comes across as an airhead (which she is) who is trying to sound serious by keep her voice low and speaking slowly.
Katie reading the news carries on slightly more weight than Britney or Paris reading the news.

...then bring in Klinton butt-boy Kaplan. First off, the guy has been an absolute failure everywhere he has been employed (CNN, MSNBC et al) and has been FIRED from all of them. It will be impossible to cover up the fact that this assclown is an uber tree-huggin panty-waisted lib turd with his connections to Bubba. It's laughable I tell you.

It wouldn't matter if they fired Couric. Network evening news is dead. Nobody cares.

What????? why I'm shocked!!! I thought Katie was gonna save the network and the world. Hmmmm, must have been wrong. Of course, it's everyone else's fault.
To: Mr. K
This will fix ALL of CBS News' problems! Come back, former viewers!
To: Mr. K
The Network knows Katie is only a news reader.. it MUST be a producer?..
Actually Les Moonbat should be fired..

This is a move to the extreme left, even more than it is now. Kaplan is responsible for the union based hit job on Food Lion in the 90s, for the "tailwind" fraudulent story about our troops gassing the enemy in Vietnam, and other atrocities of "journalism".

Come back, former viewers! Um, CBS News's former viewers are six feet under, and the current viewers ain't getting any younger.

Well, I like Bob Shieffer! I find him a very likable man.
I just bet if CBS had kept him, they would be on top now.

The idiot network is trying to stop the hemorrhage of viewers by tilting farther left. Yep, that should work /s.
