Katie Couric has always been a get along, go along dweeb, whose broadcasts are BORING. She starves herself with those anorexic parabuccal lines going down her face and she sucks up and defers to Republicans and corporate bosses.
She didnt mind lapping up the $17 million for the salary or bonus or whatever, but now that her broadcast is a dud she is complaining that corporates were on her case.
How come dozens of female and male broadcasters still managed to make their points and get their broadcasts.
No question many reporters and anchors were cheerleaders for the war. Brian Williams is also complaining about the Pentagon, but he thought his fellow White Christian Jesus Boy was right and the towel head sympos were wrong.
Like the American people many thought, what if Bush is right, right not just about the weapons, right about the ease of victory, right about the transition and right about a pacified mid east.
There were plenty of people and testimony and discussions to help them form the contrary view, the American people supported this President and the war right up to the hilt, all of us were lumped into misfits or disgruntled or commies or secret towel head sympos and stuff like that.
It's not like there wasnt plenty of testimony, op eds and reports to the contrary, many by State, Intel and military people, the American people and many press made their choices and took their pick.
Just becoz Katie Couric is a dweeb is not the reason to start bawling about women anchors, there are plenty of robust and credible women anchors.
I saw Sue on NBC practically the same after 10 years later, Linda Stouffer on CNN, Julie Chen, Jodie Chen, even the skinny anorexic ABC chick who is married to a rocker. There are many more and I cant recall all the names right now.
If they want a woman, there are plenty they could find, why the heck did they go for servile and deferential, the Katie woman is a disgrace.
Speaking of whom, I really dont know how Chris Matthews is gonna continue, first of all he has ticked off so many women, second of all, who is his constituency.
It amazes me the tiny viewerships with which MSNBC and other networks continue to parcel out their evening hours, there is just nothing there that helps people cope with the realities of the advancing economic and political clout in the world.
Plus Chris showed his misogyny apparently, he is too cranky and narcissistic and I dont know who proposed him for Bob Schieffer's show.
Plus, enough with the navel gazing Washington insider shtick, we sick of it.
Get Chuck Roberts from CNN, he is smart, he is resonant, he is from Nebraska or something, or get Linda Stouffer or Jodie Chen, if ya too scared getting Julie will seem like nepotism, now she married to that CBS guy who David Letterman jokes with on his show.
There's a bunch of very good people.
And make BBC and Deutsche Welle available in the country, ya can throw in something else, but those are a good start.
Go on.
Take a few bets, ya may be surprised.
