As bad as Couric is, nobody is talking about the other reality which is that if Thomas Jefferson himself were to reappear and they stuck him in the same time slot reading the same tripe, still no-one would watch. I’m not saying that Couric doesn’t suck, because she does, but the format is dead as well. It’s a double whammy. New media beats old media every time. Deal with it.
If I am not mistaken this is Couric's format. This is what she wanted as the format.
