 Journal: Couric Likely to Leave CBSPosted on Apr 9, 2008
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that CBS News is likely to part ways with its evening news anchor, Katie Couric, who earns about $15 million a year. Consistently in last place among the networks, CBS has been under pressure to right the ship, and was even reported to have considered outsourcing some news operations to CNN. CBS says no such plan is in the works.

as i said mensa, if you can’t compete, please, please don’t try.
you are witless, boring, inane, and just plain not worth the time.
if you are so affected by my putdowns of you, if you feel so outclassed by someone who is obviously more intelligent than you, go out and get yourself a literary tutor. in the meantime, just go away.
you are boring me, and the rest of the literate members of this board.

I know I come across rough, gruff and out spoken but do I need to label my comments sarcastic, facetious, or cynical? Lighten up some? I can, but concerns of a vegged out population, media control that severely restricts information has me very concerned about this country and the world. Waiting until November to see the changes in not encouraging to me either though I hope is will bring the right changes.
Report thisConversing with people like you helps in that I know others are just as concerned and can articulate better than me.

Do not despair, poor Katie, local cable stations in Fresno, Boise, and Kalamazoo are seeking to replace their part-time student weather-persons.
Report thisYou may be approaching the light at the end of your tunnel, for which those of us ex-CBS news-viewers give thanks.

So CBS (slowly) came to it’s senses. The prevalent rumor that she will take Larry King’s place on CNN has merit, only a bit of make-up and no one would know the difference, but that CNN has sunk so low is unthinkable.
Report thisMuch more likely is the possibility, that in a rating-inspired cost-cutting move, Barbara Walters is going to offer her a junior-advocate position on THE VIEW, replacing both Sherri and Elizabeth, since Katie’s witless twittiness combines the intellect of Sherri and the obnoxity of Elizabeth.

i for one will not be sorry to see her go. i never did understand her appeal. and then to hear about all the diva like, ruthless behavior she exhibted to her collegues and potential competition, well, it seems like what goes around, comes around.
bye bye Katie. it’s back to cable access for you!

Do you think she might get a job at the Center for Public Integrity?
