Poll question: Are you going to watch the CBS News with Katie Couric?

Fixed some typos. :)

[graywarrior]

[TOhioLiberal]

2. Not even if you paid me...N/T!!

[madrchsod]

3. i work nights but

far worse i`m forced to watch nancy grace in the breakroom

[derby378]

4. Cutie Couric?!? Bush's personal ball-washer?!?

Nope, don't think so. Maybe I'll catch the highlights as DUers see fit to share, but that's it for now.

[NJ Democrats]

5. Nope

[scarletwoman]

6. I suppose I'l check it out, just to see if it's as awful as I think it

will be.

It really breaks my heart. CBS was the only channel I watched for the evening news -- I don't have cable or satellite. I really sort of liked Bob Schieffer, he seemed relatively honest as network news whores go. Not sure what I'll do now -- flip around the Big 3 or ignore them altogether?

I suppose it won't matter a whole lot, I've already long depended on the internet to get the real news anyway. But I know I'll miss getting the semi-useful broadcast news that came from CBS & Scheiffer -- Ms. Couric makes me absolutely nauseous.

7. Maybe a re-run ....

of her LAST episode (after she's been fired/replaced)

[Cleita]

8. I watched less and less after they canned Dan Rather.

I haven't watched the CBS news at all for several weeks. I'm certainly not tuning in for her.

[Olney Blue]

9. I'll stick with DU for newslinks and Keith on Countdown...

[npincus]

10. I'll watch the Big Debut

[Beausoir]

11. If that drug adict, sex touring, chicken-hawk, loser Limbaugh shows.....

his ugly mug on CBS..I will swear them off for eternity.

I won't watch Gumby.

[Initech]

12. I generally tend to avoid network news at all costs.

[Buzz Clik]

13. I haven't watched network news in two decades.

I won't start now.

[knitter4democracy]

14. I couldn't stand her on the Today show.

I stopped watching that years ago. It used to be halfway decent, but I think I stopped not long after 9-11 when their coverage got crappy.

[mnhtnbb]

18. Me either!

[AX10]

15. NO!

[ikojo]

16. I don't watch the corporate national news programs

I do, however watch the locally, corporate news shows.

[RB TexLa]

17. I saw part of a network newscast today and was wondering

What time do these things come on I think this one was 5:30. Who is home by then? Is there audience retries? From the little I saw of it it felt like I had skimmed the headlines on the front page of a newspaper.

[Imagevision]

19. Sure! why not, can she be worst then... Beck, Hannity?

I'll take her reporting over Matt Laurer anyday!

[unkachuck]

20. oh Katie, my love...

....I will be missing you....will Matt be there?....

[Mist]

21. It was easy for me to vote "No," as I had my cable service for TV

disconnected over a month ago! (still using them for broadband and phone, but cable service, at nearly $100 a month, was something I could give up).

[BeachBuckeye]

22. No, HELL NO! n/t

[mnhtnbb]

23. Katie lost me with the camera up her butt colonoscopy story. Puhleeze!

[DeadManInc]

24. Where is the hell no choice?

[EstimatedProphet]

25. No, I'll watch Democracy Now, Countdown and the Daily Show

[Dinger]

26. The On;y Reason I Ever Watched CBS Was Because Of Rather & Murrow,

who were once there. Kinda stupid to watch for something (integrity) that isn't there any more. When is the Dan Rather CBS tribute anyway?

[elocs]

27. Forget it. No way. n/m

[AZBlue]

28. Yes. (and I'm sorry to see the responses on this thread).

I'll give her an honest, open-minded try - and then make my decision. I haven't seen her as a nightly news anchor yet, so she deserves that. If I don't like it once I've seen it I'll turn it off then. But, I'll make an informed, unbiased decision.

Sorry to see such close-mindedness on this site!

[Diane R]

29. After that interview, it's Brian Williams for me. n/t

[LaPera]

30. Only if the plump Katie does the news in the nude, with pom-poms!

[RamboLiberal]

31. Not after finding out it was Couric's idea to have Limpballs

on to do a guest editorial.

[Pastiche423]

32. Uh uh, nope, no way!

[Nutmegger]

33. Think we can make 200 votes?

:kick:

I heard that she's suppose to interview the Chimp on her first day? WTF??

[Nutmegger]

34. Kick - She'll be on soon! [nt]

[Faux pas]

35. I'd rather watch paint dry. n/t

[QuestionAll...]

36. there was a time not too long ago...

where I would make a point to watch something like this, just to guffaw and throw soft things at my tv screen and howl and laugh at the idiot in thief and his cheerleaders in the media.

but I don't find it funny anymore at all.
I'm fucking scared out of my mind.

[samsingh]

37. no because she's having rush on - i've lost all respect for her.

[Cha]

38. I like the way you said

"are you out of your mind?"! Not in that instance! :)

[warrens]

39. If she's letting that Nazi gasbag on, no

He has no business anywhere near a serious news show. Unless they're actually endorsing liars now.
