4. I'm good with Katie Couric as anchor, but |
|
the little sit down chat at the coffee table has got to go. Too Today-showy for my liking.

8. I attempted to tune it... |
|
but upon seeing the blurry pic of Sumi/Suri/Sumo (?) Cruise and Katie breathlessly announcing we'll get a peek later in the broadcast, I went back to The Simpsons. That was short-lived - about 4 seconds.

16. Remember, other time frames haven't seen it yet |
|
A little more information is needed. The East Coast is not the only media market or voters. Other Americans watch and vote.

A little too Today Showish. Lacks Gravitas.
Though Lara Logan did a good report on Afghanistan.
Back to Brian Williams tomorrow.

28. I couldn't help myself and watched. What's happened to her |
|
eyes? A botched facelift? They almost look all right, and then she'll look right or left, up or down, and they get funny looking again.
Maybe she can do a special on bad plastic surgery.

29. That was breathtakingly awful - |
|
The only actual "news" on the program was 1)exerpts from a * Terra speech and 2)a competent report from Afghanistan by Laura Logan.
The rest of it was basically 1)Katie getting to show off her legs! (By sitting for a 30-second "interview" with Tom Friedman) 2)telling us that Omigod, Vanity Fair has Suri pictures! (going to the newsstands tommorrow!) 3) Some dude gets American art students to paint portraits of third world orphans - they look into their eyes and become penpals - how sweet. 4)Some writer dude gets to do bad stand-up comedy for a minute or two about basically, why can't we all get along (red state / blue state "I don't buy it.")
And to me, the worst of it all, at the end, when Katie starts in about "All summer, people have been asking me how I will sign off, I don't know, blah blah blah, here's some clips of famous network news sign-offs, hey, go to CBS.com to give me YOUR ideas for a sign-off phrase Mr. and Mrs. America, we'll have a lot of fun reading them, and maybe I'll decide to use yours!"
:puke:
(It's the drug ads that get me most about the nightly news, can't blame Katie for that -- today, the neon green Lunesta butterfly floated around some more, knocking more people out to sleep. Like hey, do you work in an office 12 hours a day, can't get any exercise, have to grovel to your boss because the concept of worker respect and/or rights is dead so you can't sleep at night because you're thinking about sales charts? Obvious solution for that conundrum - take Lunesta!)

32. Cronkite isn't in his grave yet. |

Hope he'll be around awhile longer, as he's quite active in liberal causes.

33. LOL! No he isn't Sorry about that. |

I was thinking of Douglas Edwards who predated him with Edward R. Murrow. I know Cronkite has got to be really disappointed too.
