1. mmmmffff, I don't really want to laugh, I swear, a CNN poll on the wisdom of Couric as CBS anchor.
Oh, what the hell. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: MKJ

2. No she should have left television completely
and become a pole dancer at the hungry pussy in west jaheezus.

Seriously if her move to CBS news hastens her total departure from TV, then it was a great move.

Maybe Baba Wawa can hire her for the view (if that POS lasts another 6 months).

10. Today show is better without her, but their ratings have suffered greatly
And CBS would be better without her.

12. Yes, absolutely. In her old job at Today Show, Katie could have lain in wait
Edited on Sat Jun-02-07 12:31 AM by kenny blankenship
and absorbed Rachel Ray's essence by having her on as a frequent guest. One morning Rachel Ray would not turn up for her scheduled appearance on the Today set, and Katie Couric would look 15 years younger. Weeks later the dessicated husk of Ray would turn up in an alley off 57th St. near the CBS building down by the river. Perhaps after absorbing the life essence of one or two more media "it-girls", Katie Couric could have moved on to CBS to anchor the Evening News, where her supernaturally renewed levels of "spunkiness" would have driven ratings through the roof, and would have lived to 130 years old, or maybe 150.

13. I look at it this way-if Katie hadn't left Today, then Meredith Viera wouldn't have left the View...
to take her place, then Rosie wouldn't have been on the View where she was able to inform a lot of people who have been in the dark about the BFEE, 911 MIHOP/LIHOP, Impeachment, etc.

So, Yes, I am very glad that Katie's on CBS. :evilgrin:

15. That is essentially how I was going to respond to this thread
Who the fruck is cnn to comment about anybody else's journalism? Jesus, I have all but stopped watching them, my health just can't take them any longer.

Paging Dr Gupta, your network causes an unhealthy rise in blood pressure due to propaganda, misinformation, and comercialization. Paging Dr Gupta, our nation is code blue due to truth deprevation and we need the 4th estate to serve it's constitutional duty if we are to survive.
