Katie is going to SINK the CBS News.....VERY quickly!!

I thought SeeBS was already sunk - aren't its ratings the lowest of any of the alphabet networks?

A little chat from the local hair salon today. Most of the women are sad to see Katie leave NBC, because NBC has allowed her the freedom to speak the truth. It seems that the rest of the media have not been allowed to tell the truth and that is why they seem so confused and their reports are not accurate. The highlight of the day other than those in my hair is that a super nice guy came in with his hair buzzed on only one side and that is because his wife's buzzer stopped working and he is in the Navy, deploying today for his first tour. I thanked him for his service and insisted on paying for his haircut. As he walked out I said, "There goes a guy that will make it possible for Katie to keep her new job." He turned around and laughed.

Meredith Viera, Katie's replacement, appears to be even more blatantly liberal than Couric. Meredith's sure to provide plenty of good material for the foreseeable future ;-)

I've never watched her, never plan to.

Proud to say the same.

Duke is a louse. But it was just one more example of Katie hitting a non-Democrat with a tough question.

Moving to a new venue won't fix that massive air leak coming from her head.

Good riddance to Couric. She'll be off the air until September, then after a short disastrous stint on CBS, she'll be lucky to get a gig on CourTV.

So Katie goes on to CBS. I suspect that when she does show up on the evening news, CBS will be revamping the entire show. I will not be surprised if they remake it ala Today Morning Show in an attempt to attract the same viewership. The dumbing down marches onward.

And, her replacement, can't think of her name, but I recall has quite the liberal pedigree. So GLGB, you're work won't be waning.. if anything, it'll probably increase..

I appreciate what you do.. I know it's a dirty job, but someone has to do it...

I would guess that the media believes it has sold the public on the fact that Duke was a Republican, hence any outrageous remarks from him would tarnish the GOP.

Of course, Duke was a Democrat first -- probably was in 1985 -- and was rejected by Republicans when he switched parties.

By leaving out information, the media is relying on the public not to know that when Duke was a Democrat, Democrats had no problems with his anti-semitic views, but when he switched they used it to tarnish the GOP even though the GOP rejected him.

They were the lowest for a long time. Dan Rather sunk them into a hole nobody thought they could get out of.

But Bob Schieffer recently got them to number one for the first time in years. For accomplishing this seemingly impossible feat, they are going to show him the door and move fat ass kewpie Katie into the seat.

They are going to need a roller-coaster style chair behind that anchor desk, so Katie doesn’t fly off on the initial ratings plunge.

I hate it when interviewers use the "some people say" prefix to a question. The person being interviewed should immediately demand the interviewer disclose who those mysterious people are.


Name them, Katie!!!

This is somewhat off topic but never the less something I need to get off my chest. So I am at this Lynn Swann Fundraiser(Running for GOV in Penn) and I am talking to this woman. She says that she is new to politics but makes sure to watch her hour of "The Today Show" every morning. LMAO......I do not know how but I kept a straight face. I didn't quite know what to do....but I wanted to slap her and tell her Fox News is channel 15. Anyways maybe she will make the switch now that Katie is gone.

You're right, the AP DID do a story a little while back criticizing Bush for using the phrase "some people say." And it was published as a hard news piece! Supposedly pointing out "straw-man arguments" in Bush's speech. Bet they'll never do the same to Katie.

Here is the story:

None of her "Katie" BS matters. She is going to flop big time on CBS. She like Oprah has seen her best days. When "Ice Cube" whacks Oprah, you know the brains of the Black community have had it with her useless spin. CBS is throwing their money into the street!!!
