"Katie looked bad, I mean she was making these weird facial expressions, like the Botox was causing Tourette Syndrome or something. It was very odd" Definitely the makings of a new tag line:

JMO, I would say that the majority of the people who watch National news are conservative. They truly want to know what is going on in the world. We don't want fluff and we don't want cute, we want uneditorialized, uncensored news. We do care if the person delivering it hates everything that we believe in and if they lose us they lose their ratings.
So, she can blame the suits if she wants but it is her own left leanings that have caused her ratings and the suits are just protecting themselves.

Honestly, I can remember when they got into the bidding war for Couric, and it reminded me of a colossal corporate blunder I saw years ago when I worked for a major mining company.
In the case of the mining company, it was because the president (who was, of course, French) got enamoured of huge drag lines (massive things resembling steamshovels only big enough to load a dumptruck) and ordered FIVE of them. This was in the 70's when Carter had pushed for more coal. There weren't enough mines who could use those large machines, and so three sat idle, although the company had to pay for all five. Rather than admit the mistake, all sorts of re-organization went on. Stock prices dropped, as profits dried up.
By the time Mr. Frenchy had left on a golden parachute, the company was in the business of slowly shutting down, and eventually their assets were sold to other companies.
Couric is like the drag lines; someone got fascinated with the idea of using her, they overbid on her salary in order to make sure they would get her, and now, lilke the drag lines, they are stuck paying for something they can't really use.
I envision massive firings, followed by layoffs and the dreaded "reorganization." I would be quite happy to see CBS sold off, piecemeal, but I suppose that's too much to hope for.

Thankfully, Saddam escaped to Syria.

So that's why she looks so tense and robotic. It's painful to watch her. She seems under the surface very miserable.

Maybe they could try Rosie O'Donnnell? They don't have a super wide-angle lens?

Democrats (Leadership & New Voter Base) - Those who spread propaganda among the other humans. They justify their monopolization of resources and spread false statistics about our President, constantly pointing to fictional failures, from fictional "sources that say". Dems continuously explore ways in which those in their camp can use rhetoric and hate speech to twist the truth and gain social and political control.
Interesting correlation to Animal House Pigs...

Very true. She's not spontaneous, and she lacks freshness and insight. She has the intellect of a dullard.

Katie should be furious at liberal viewers. They are the ones that are not watching her show. Conservatives haven't watched CBS in may years.
So, if Katie doesn't get good ratings, it is the liberals fault.

I saw Dan Rather's 5 minute promo of his show in HDTV and it was a hoot! He talked about (and I'm not making this up) "well researched stories" HAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHA And I assume this was said with a straight face only worthy of a pathological LIAR?!

Hee hee. CBS is dragging their anchor!

Here is the answer: 1. Start covering the Republicans as something other than fascist crooks who oppress the common man...She'll do the opposite... Couric'll become cBS's' Olbermann before she pitches straight news.
