Ah well, maybe she took a turn down the left side of the road after she got out of college. Good sororities/fraternities can't rescue everyone!

NEW YORK (AP) — If some people thought traveling to Iraq and Syria was a ratings stunt for Katie Couric, it didn't work out that way. The "CBS Evening News" tied a record low with just under 5.5 million viewers last week, Nielsen Media Research said Tuesday. Last week and Memorial Day week are the two least-watched CBS evening newscasts since at least 1987, and probably far earlier.
CBS said it wasn't surprising, and argued that last week's numbers were artificially deflated because of U.S. Open coverage.

Sure it is...
I have only watched Katie a couple of times at this job but she is terrible at it. All of the things that she did well in the morning show had to do with acting happy (and perky) and having a good time. The serious Katie, reading the news is a bore.
There, I fixed it.
You KNOW you were looking over my shoulder.
Confess!
Katie couldn’t give away free beer in a frathouse.
“Katie couldn’t give away free beer in a frathouse.”
Now c’mon. You know that’s not true!
I am really thinking of other services...............
I was thinking the same.
The biggest Blood Dancer on the planet has finally overused it.
bout time.
U.S. Open coverage deflated their ratings?!?
It could never be the quality of the product they are selling.
Katie is in over her head. Cuteness doesn’t count in the world of ideas........
The only people who thought it was a ratings “stunt” (potentially leading to higher ratings) were Mcmanus and Kaplan. Everyone else knew it was taking a badly rated show out of its safest, most secure element (the Crockite-defined studio) and placing it in a decidely unperky and ill-fitting place (for Ms. Katie).
A real shot in one’s own foot. But then again, that is what CBS News does best. Rather pitiful.
Dan Rather - pitiful :)
Unfortunately, Katie was in the same sorority as I - different year and different school. The thought that she is one of my sisters is nauseating.
I didn’t realize she need another drag on her ratings! Good job, Katie! You go girl! /sarc

I watched the MSNBC “as it happened” 9/11 yesterday. Katie was the anchor, although you never saw her.
I was quite surprised in that she wasn’t bad, she did have a journalistic presence of mind. But 9/11 on the day was not something you could editorialize and make an idiot of yourself doing do.
If Katie could just restrict herself to the truth, reporting as it happens without lib bias, she probably would be ok. But I think anything produced by the MSM is totally incapable of that.
