Yes, I didn’t want anyone to say “that guys sexist” so I didn’t talk about those Fauxy Ladies over at Fox.

In general, I think that Katie should have chosen a better role model, someone like Helen Thomas! Instead, she tried to compete against a bunch women who would do and say anything for money.

However, I’d rather them watch Couric and Williams than the fool John Stewart. He is clearly why our collegians are so silly, hedonistic, clueless and support Barack Hussein Obama.

I believe that Katie was given the job to take eyeballs away from Faux News;

i.e. she immediately featured President Bush, Rush Limbaugh, and “Thomas Friedman.”

so, if you’re a “katie fan”– and now she’s trying to make war and globalization sound good– instead of having “mindless fun with Tupperware”, i think you’d stop watching too!

and folks like me wouldn’t start watching her because she “repackages worn out talking points.”

He never even asked if they get news anywhere else, esp. online.

Generational ships passing in the night.

Considering the deciders here – network management – I’m going to guess that they fail utterly and continue to put all the money and contracts into the irrelevant evening news while further condescending to the preferences of their audience.

“Laura — your article, which uses the term “I” fourteen times, is more about yourself than Katie. That’s really sad. Think about it, girl.”

It’s called an ‘introductory anecdote.’

“How is making millions and millions of dollars making a “Mistake?”"

If making millions was the majority consideration for Katie Couric’s taking the job, then it was most certainly not a “Mistake.” However, whatever she was thinking, I doubt she would consider a forced retirement and complete irrelevance in a completely irrelevant format a “Success.”

Young people watch Jon Stewart because he’s entertaining and his “news” content is about on par with the networks ( close to zero ). Only academics and other elitists watch anything other than entertainment on the traditional networks.
