Using the time-honored ploy of desperate journalists, Katie Couric CBS anchor and 60 Minutes reporter interviewed herself in a grilling of the Edwards' decision to stay in the 2008 Presidential sweepstakes despite the recent return of Elizabeth Edwards cancer. Throwing editorial comments willy-nilly, like a poor-man's radio shock jock, she peppered her comments with the tell-tale catch-all, "Some people..." Listen for yourself. Only 19 more months of this to go.
After her first appearance as the new anchor for CBS news, I wrote a letter of complaint that she has the journalistic equivalent of macaroni and cheese.
ReplyDeleteI hate Katie Couric's work. CBS too, for that matter. They've taken important work and turned it into a fucking massage parlor. The message? "Above all, make sure that you like Katie Couric."
Get rid of her.
