Looks like CBS News committed suicide by hiring Couric.

CBS Evening News appears on British television at 12:30 AM. It helps me get to sleep if I'm suffering from insomnia.

I was in Hong Kong about 10 years ago and,much to my surprise,saw the CBS Evening News being shown on HK television at 7:30AM (HK time) which meant that it was being shown "live" (7:30 AM in HK being 6:30PM in New York).

I don't know..... but she's really bad. Talks real slow. Acts like her very best friend just died. The few minuts of the show that I always see is a complete downer. But I watch it for about 3 minutes and then turn the station.

Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away

Whoah and I know a man, he came from my hometown
He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown
He said dolores, I live in fear
My love for yous so overpowering, Im afraid that I will disappear

Chorus

I know a woman, (who) became a wife
These are the very words she uses to describe her life
She said a good day aint got no rain
She said a bad day is when I lie in the bed
And I think of things that might have been

Chorus

And I know a father who had a son
He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things hed done
He came a long way just to explain
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
Then he turned around and he headed home again

Chorus

Whoah God only knows, God makes his plan
The informations unavailable to the mortal man
Were workin our jobs, collect our pay
Believe were gliding down the highway, when in fact were slip sliding away

Chorus repeats 2x

For the first few days,people were curious.But they've known for years that she's a lightweight.It won't be long before we see her doing a lounge act atop a piano,a la Connie Chung. Hell, they're all lightweights......from Cronkite on down. England's got it right on this job. They call them "newreaders" which is an accurate description of what they do. Some are more pleasent and look more professional reading the news than others but reading is all they do. It's a joke on us all that people give them so much importance. No group of people in the U.S. is more overpaid and more overtouted for what they do. No one.

I don't know... I would guess that my local cable affiliate knows what I'm watching all the time. I would guess that cable companies can and probably do provide information.

Get more liberal, Katie! Start calling President Bush "The Devil" and a right-wing warmonger. Then you'll be golden!

Nude.
She's gotta do the show butt naked. That's the only thing that'll save her.

Of course that will drive away the gays, but it will get the lesbians. Management has a tough decision. /s

The last time I was in Hong Kong, they had Fox News. Change the channel time, really.

Couric has simply jumped the shark. No one lasts long on the boob tube when they don't listen to and put down their customers.

She's tried sitting on the desk and cheezy graphics at the end of the show, so mabe she's up for balancing pancakes on her head while doing hula-hoops?

Perky wants to get the audience back? Easy, just start leaning right....tell the truth about Islam, the Clintons, the dislike for the military by Hillary and Kerry, the MSM bias against Christianity, the liberal failing education policies of the teacher's unions, the dishonesty and crime connections of organized labour, Rather's left leaning bias, et cetra....

I would bet the farm if CBS and Perky went that direction the ratings would go through the roof. Will it happen? I don't think so...most folks know B.S. when they see it and Perky and CBS are going hand in hand down the sooey hole...
