Who's Going to Boycott CBS News/Couric Tonight? I am.
I've already decided to boycott CBS News over this stupid move. Katy Couric with her Bush-leaning views was specifically chosen by CBS News to appear more conservative after the Dan Rather fiasco. It's all about the money, not the truth.

CBS, stick it up your @#(%@.

1. Never watch it anyway
So, I'll boycott, but they won't miss me.

3. Don't have to boycott it. I don't have it.
It's part of the local channels package on DishNetwork, which I opted out of.

6. I never could stand to watch her. She just gripes my ass.
Why would I do that to myself. It's like fingernails down a blackboard.

7. I'll give the Tri Delt a chance
I'm not aware that she is a right winger at all. The Right rather dislikes her, and her sister was a Democratic state senator.

I just think she is lacking in gravitas, but I'll give her a fair chance.

8. I'll miss it. Can't stand Couric.
She has no credibility.

She is not a journalist.

She is an opportunist, and like an infection I'll do what I can to avoid it.

She will be gone quickly, anyway. What few viewers they have will plummet.

9. I'll never watch that giggling
"Oh,look at ME,I'm so CUTE" Katie Couric. No wonder she never re-married. She's too much in love with herself.

10. I Never Watch Corporate News Anyhow....
I think this is a career-ending move for her personally, although she'll be cryin' all the way to the bank...

13. I never get my news from TV.
I watch Olbermann, that's all.

I want the truth, not spin, not bias.
I get my news from print, from radio, from any other sources except television.

16. This sums up how I feel about Katy
We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blond who
Comes on at five
She can tell you bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
Its interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry

20. Oddly enough, I have been
"boycotting" network news for most of my life. Cable and internet are plenty for me. Haven't watched network since Cronkite retired.

21. I guess if I don't watch it anyway, it won't really be a boycott
if I don't watch it tonight.

22. The hiring of another propagandist!
I can't watch network news for longer than 5 minutes. I end up cursing at the screen.

23. Thursday night was the last time I watched CBS news...
really sad, I shut it off when she came on.

This is like Leno trying to fill Carson's shoes.

25. I seldom tune in to any commercial newscast, prefering Jim Lehrer's
program instead.

From a job performance point of view, I object to the pointless dismissal of Bob Schieffer. Seemed to me he was doing just fine and didn't require any of the glitzy overhead.
