Bwahahahahaha - Poor Katie Couric

1. I was so hoping for a woman to take over an evening news broadcast...

...but Katie Couric was so absolutely wrong for the position. There were so many great women choices out there for the position but CBS went for "Cute & Perky" I guess in hopes to sugar-coat the news for Americans.

This poor choice by CBS means it'll be another 1-2 decades until someone tries again to put a woman in charge of the evening news.

4. Yes- Christianne Amanpour would have NBC and ABC and 2/3 spots.

[LynneSin]

6. I think Christianne Amanpour would be fabulous

She is a woman in the news that I truly admire!

[MountainLaurel]

19. But Amanpour reports the news

And not just the spin, so she would never get an anchor position with a major network.

21. She would be my first choice. n/t

2. LOL- Lesson no. 1:

Do not use focus groups to determine what kind of news they'd "like to see" (translation: something soft and aquishy).

[zbdent]

16. Lesson #2 - don't give media people who already have a national soapbox

(read: RIGHTIE) yet another soapbox ("free speech segment") to pontificate about how they don't have a national soapbox to get their message out ...

17. #3 - don't fire retired Generals

who voice dissent.

3. Next stop

The View with babs

7. She would be an improvement over that Elizabeth Hasselblasselfrackelhoff twit.

But that's not saying very much. :)

10. Anything

beats Rosie. Geez, what a mistake!

[Joanie Baloney]

5. And another slam

I agree with him :)

[CatWoman]

8. lol

so do I!!

11. Shouldn't it be "couric is annoying"?

I always thought "couric's" is possessive.

Any grammar pundits out there?

[Zywiec]

13. I think it's a contraction

Where Couric's is for Couric is. The same as it's is for it is.

[TahitiNut]

15. Wow. I sure do know how he feels.

:thumbsup:

[blondeatlast]

22. I couldn't agree more. nt

[blondeatlast]

23. I think they both are, but Gibson stops short of being grating. nt

9. Katie was such....

a gross choice...a bad bad bad mistake from the start. Old and cute does not translate to newsperson. She shoulda stayed where she was- where she could flash a little thigh now and then and people would think how cute... she is not a news person.

[BlooInBloo]

12. They should just cut their losses. Can her, and make Olbermann an offer.

[bdamomma]

14. she should of stayed on "Today".

maybe she should be on "The View" see would fit right in!!

[Quixote1818]

18. I knew she was a poor choice right from the beginning

How is it all these so called "brilliant" people could make such a blunder in picking her? This isn't Katie's fault it's the people who thought she would bring in ratings. She has a morning show personality NOT a news anchor personality. Cute and bubbly and serious news, clash!

There are many other women who would have been perfect in that position.

20. That's hysterical!
