CBS suits are idiots.......

It really shows how biased, desperate, stupid and out-of-touch, the MSM is...Couric, you must be kidding? What a joke. On the other hand, what critical-thinking, professional journalist would work for the lib-networks anyway??

This is wonderful! That stupid, vacant grin reading Marxist lies every night. Popcorn time!

I think it would be a good move to put a 300-pound gorilla in a sinking rowboat. Go for it, CBS!

Leslie, not Lester. FWIW, natch.

Jumping through butt?

Kinda like the colonoscopy that Katie had on TV a few years back?

Insiders say it would be like replacing an idiot with an imbecile.

Drop the word "like" and this statement reads much more accurately.

[evets]

That was supposed to be my scoop!

Goes to show what CBS really thinks a television journalist really is. And Rather the rest of the talking heads try so hard to pretend they are important.

Even if she takes the job, my guess is she won't last long. If she has two brain cells she'd know she can't anchor. CBS would have to fire her, then where would she be?

Is it contract renewal time for Katie? (Just a little suspicious...)

The NYC inner circle is so out of touch with the rest of the world.

This is not exactly true. Katie Couric was a regular reporter for NBC-4 in Washington, D.C. before she was hired by the network, and was a pretty good one. She did substitute news reading for Tom Brokaw and Brian Williams on many occasions before getting the Today Show gig. It isn't like she is just some dumb broad who answered a casting call one day to be the hostess of the Today show. I think she always aspired to be a network anchor, not the queen of the morning chat shows.

It's like they're insane. My suggesions to CBS, in order of fiscal sanity and programming effectiveness:

1) Eliminate the newscast completely. Crush ABC and NBC with repeats of Everyone Loves Raymond.

2) Transform the newscast into something like Nightline. Delve deep into one or two stories that no one else is reporting on. Feature a 5-min. roundtable discussion of the subject at the end using experts, not journalists.

3) Keep the newscast, but broadcast from Chicago (middle America), or more expensively, a different location every week or month. Get someone untraditional to host: Shep Smith, Bob Costas, or preferably some good local anchor we've never heard of.

They have to blow up the whole "Eyewitness News" model and create something new or no one will watch.

They just want an extension of Oprah watchers.......dumbed down, mind-numbed women who are VERY easily swayed to the left.

[Sleeping Freeper]

I've always skipped over CBS Evening News when changing channels. Now I'm going to have to invest in a "speed skipper remote" or block CBS all together.
