YOU GO GIRL !!! Katie Couric

[bigdarryl]

I though she did a good job with her first news cast. plus she's attactive and i like looking at her.

[chelsea0011]

1. LOL

[liberal N proud]

2. Katie, the media whore?

[leftchick]

3. eye candy replacing journalism?

that explains the state of the media in the US. :eyes:

[Chipper Chat]

7. freudian slip Leftchick?

"exlains" is pretty darn close to "ex-lax."
Hey, a rapid jettison of the US media? I'm all for it too!

[leftchick]

9. thanks

I fixed it but ex-lax does seem more appropriate.

[AlinPA]

28. Exactly. Its all about the one reading the news, not the news itself. The

"news" programs are staffing up with girls that are all young, mostly with long blond hair who sound like Britanny Spears. I do a lot of travelling, and look at local TV while in motels and it is the trend.

[Junkdrawer]

31. Rather: "The tarting up of the news". They were thinking of Pam Anderson

but they went for gravitas and chose Couric. :silly:

[Eurobabe]

4. Katie Kiss-Ass?

Please... :puke:

[true_notes]

5. Saying she did a good job is like saying....

Applebees is a mom and pops, neighborhood friendly restaurant. She's just another cookie cutter newscaster without a penis.

Big f'in Deal.

True

[Kiouni]

16. I have always said

give her a penis!

[liberalpress]

20. I'll volunteer to give her a penis

[Hissyspit]

6. She's already cozying up to right-wingers. Still continues to use terms

of the talking points of the Neo-Cons. Didn't want a "New York skyline" theme song but a "waving fields of grain" theme song.

Was not impressed by what I saw today.

On a related note, Rosie O'Donnell on that daytime show today said she would not be wearing that "hair style that scared America." What style was that? Why a militant lesbian hair style. She said she was "taking her meds" and was o.k. now.

Sucking up to the mediocre mainstream, both of them. Pathetic.

[anniebelle]

8. Limbaugh's her guest Thursday, AAAARGH!

I guess before it's over, she'll have Coultergeist as her co-host.:puke:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

10. ...

:spray:

Wait, you're not joking are you?

[displacedtexan]

11. To quote Lucy Van Pelt...

We had spaghetti 3 times at our house this week.

[bluestateguy]

12. Tri Delts are always good looking

but I was unimpressed last night.

I'm back to Brian Williams tonight.

[tkmorris]

13. I like looking at her?

That's your standard for a good news anchor?

Holy Christ on a crutch, we are fucked.

[Skittles]

14. I can't stand her

she is fluff

[physioex]

15. Agreed.....

You can get way more serious news here on DU....

[ClintonTyree]

17. Who is Katie Couric?

Is she the one that had that anal probe done on national TV? So, that WASN'T her ass we were looking at last night? :shrug:

[lectrobyte]

24. The very same. She was on one of the morning happy shows before.

[cornermouse]

18. About Katie's Blog...

Don't bother to go there. You get deleted for nothing more than saying things like you don't think gravitas is a male attribute and Up to the Minute is now a better show than the Evening News.

:shrug:

Katie's blog is like Katie. Cute, perky, and vapid.

[tsuki]

19. The 15 million dollar bionic airbrush? Rush's buddy? No thanks. nt

[Selteri]

21. A few points

She has Bill Majer on Friday

I'm allowing a week of DVRing her broadcast to give her a fair shake

I'm impressed by her opening 'freee speach' choice and his chosen words.

I'm not too impressed with how most of her broadcast is just fluff with little substance

The report from Afghanistan only showed more that we have dropped the ball and failed in our objectives

She then was cozy about Bush's speach though seemed to be trying to remain somewhat neutral sounding.

At the moment I'd call her broadcast awkward, unfamiliar and lacking confidence.

Perhaps she might be OK in time, at the moment I'm not impressed.

[Cobalt Violet]

22. Ya that was pissa the way she call one of our RIGHTS a "privilege".

Free speech to be specific.

One very, very stupid mistake. Not even her so called looks can make up for that one.

[acmejack]

23. Well, the Right now has their "good" news!

Boy there was so much cute news last night, to hell with all that depressing stuff-you want good news-we'll give you good news. That's entertainment...

[meegbear]

25. How much time did she spend on the Runaway Bride?

Anything on TomKat?

[City Lights]

26. Whatev...

I think she sucks. And apparently Thursday night she'll be sucking Limbaugh ass. :puke: Sorry. Can't get excited about anyone who invites The Viagra Man to appear on their "news" program.

[GeorgeGist]

27. She can read...

and looks good. What's not to like.

[tanyev]

29. And not nearly so much of that boring news stuff in her newscast.

[DemonFighterLives]

30. The righties get their fluff right wing media

The world should be coming up roses.
:puffpiece:

[GCP]

32. FWIW - has she had an eye-lift?

Her eyes look different - and not in a good way.

[leftyladyfrommo]

36. She has a funny way of holding her head - makes her look like

her head is down and she is look up.

[sinkingfeeling]

33. And I turned off CBS Evening News for the first time in 45 years. I will

never watch it again.

[leftyladyfrommo]

35. Me, too. I tried to watch just to give her a chance - but it was

just awful. I mean it was just awful. And I can't imagine that people will continue to watch for very long. I don't think people who tune into the nightly news want to see and Entertainment Tonite show.

I turned back over to ABC and Charlie Gibson.

[The Straight Story]

34. They should replace her with:
