Well now. This will certainly make me watch Katie, the Perky One. //sarc off

"Her ability and qualifications are not an issue with me at all," McManus said. "Creating the right show around her is what is important."

The fact that he said this means that her ability and qualifications have become an issue.

"Her ability and qualifications are not an issue with me at all," McManus said. "Creating the right show around her is what is important." ...Kaplan was also a good friend of President Clinton.

The moron execs at CBS who thought Katie would make a great news caster should be fired.

Couric screws up and her underlings get the blame.

[Lancey Howard]

Socialist Democrat Kaplan is a perfect fit with Couric at CBS.
"When it's a story about Democrats, Katie, never use the word 'scandal'."
Those were his instructions to the staff at CNN during the Sinkmeister years.

CBS News has been in third place so long it's where they think they belong, only now it's a distant third.

They gave up on journalism a long time ago at CBS News, at least at the anchor spot.

"I'm not sure that we are consistent enough so that every single night you know what you are going to get from the 'CBS Evening News,"' he said.

I dunno. Seems like the same cr@p, night after night.

Consistently bad is not a good thing.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Yeah, that'll work. It's couric that sux but they throw the boss under the bus. Nobody wants to watch that leftist nonsense and changing out the bosses is not going to save that show. At least another lib looses their job.

[Krankor]

She's got some fat arms.

[antonico]

So lemme get this right: CBS is hiring the guy that oversaw CNN's slide from dominance, getting crushed by Fox News. And not to be outdone, PMSNBC scoops up an unemployed Kaplan after he precipitated that demise of CNN, and then watched as PMSNBC slid down even further in the ratings than they already were to FOX News & everyone else in cable.

So McManus decides THIS is the guy that will bring skyrocketing ratings to their Nightly News.

The Liberal Ascendancy Principle in action: make sure everything you touch turns to rot and you're guaranteed to scale heights of positional power you could only dream about.

Stunning to me this party has control of anything, much less two houses of Congress.

[Bush gal in LA]

George Soros= Michael Moore= Rich Kaplan!

[bubman]

Irrelevancy masquerading as news!

Who cares?

[citizencon]

To CBS: "shoot the messenger"...

[jyro]

Thanks to Dan Rather/CBS and his made-up hit job on Bush, I'll never watch CBS.

[vox humana]

Kaplan will just rearrange the deck chairs on the SS CBS News. It's only a matter of time before the ship finally sinks.

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

Sending Kaplan to save Couric is like sending the Lusitania to save the Titanic.
