Tell the truth, for starters!

[GungaLaGunga]

Hey Katie, listen to this:

Yours is a dying industry. Every day fewer and fewer Americans are willing to make an appointment with a rabbit-ear network news program in order to be lectured, hectored and ridiculed for holding values that the vast majority of Americans hold dear.

I'm sure your little "tour" will be as spontaneous as a Hilary Clinton junket. "Average Americans Viewers" will be pre-arranged and screened by the local CBS outlets where they will compliment you and CBS for striving for diversity. It's all banal crap.

Want to learn how to broadcast news to attract viewers? Watch Fox.

Why do I doubt that supporting the military or the Second Amendment will make her list?

[akorahil]

I hope she wears her 'smart girl' glasses.
Otherwise, we will know this is a pre-arranged sham...

"She intends to meet a diverse cross section (of people) so that she can really get to the heart of the community."

The wealthy white liberal slumming routine.

Look for photo ops of Katie cruising homeless shelters, county fairs, and NASCAR races, like she’s visiting the zoo.

Bring treats, Katie. We’re hungry.

[BadAndy]

How far the media have fallen. Network anchor was one of the most acclaimed position in the news business. It was only awarded to someone with a long journalistic history and credibility. Real newsmen must be spinning in their graves seeing Katie put in the anchor position. Its the equivalent of giving Oxy-Clean spokesman Billy Mays the Nobel Prize for Chemistry.

MIDI - TELL LAURA I LOVE HER

Our Katie Couric, that perky one
You won’t believe what she’s done
Just look and you’ll see
She shows her butt right on TV

We are sure it will win the sweeps
Though, of course, it gives you the creeps
Children all watch…they’re filled with glee
It’s Katie’s colonoscopy

The nurses are screaming…a nightmare they’re dreaming
Their fear they cannot restrain
The doctor just found Katie’s brain

So Katie’s now the butt of their jokes
Inside her each doctor pokes
They cannot believe their eyes
The viewer’s getting a big surprise

They say she has made history
Something like this you’ll never see
One screams out, “I can’t concur
Most Democrats are just like her”

The nurses are screaming…a nightmare they’re dreaming
Their fear they cannot restrain
The doctor just found Katie’s brain

They stitch her up…it’s finally done
She’ll take time off out in the sun
People say each time they pass
Hey, we know your head’s in your ***

The nurses are screaming…a nightmare they’re dreaming
Their fear they cannot restrain
The doctor just found Katie’s brain

The nurses are screaming…a nightmare they’re dreaming
Their fear they cannot restrain
The doctor just found Katie’s brain

OH please, please come to Montana. it would be a PLEASURE to have you listen to me and the many like minded conservatives that are in this area. I'd like to be on tv and let the world know that our President is a good man, our troops are great, the USA is the best place on this earth to live and GOD does matter. Phew, I feel better already :):):)

[The Iceman Cometh]

Would this 'Listening Tour' consist of pre-screened people who will pack the audience to make America look like cBS wants it to look?

[Doogle]

"It's an attempt to hear from regular folks on a whole broad range of things that help us make decisions on how we can better serve our viewers."

...ok it's an attempt....meaning Kattie has to do a prearrange "road tour" to get credibility. In others words, we spent all these millions and we're going to make this work or our stock options ain't gonna be worth spit. "Kattie has to sell herself big time....?????....ah sh** we're in trouble."
