Shark Bytes

I agree with another poster, 24 hour cable news killed broadcast news programs. I haven't really seen Katie at work, only bits and pieces, so I can't say anything about her, although some of the comments I have heard have been cruel and without merit.

Mickey the television was around in 1927, but wasn't commercially available. It is possible that Roosevelt had a press conference and it was shown in one of those news reels shown in cinemas not sure if that sort of thing ever happened.

While interviewing Senator Biden on the Campaign trail, our Miss Couric let Mr. Biden tell yet another LIE.

"When the great crash happened, President Roosevelt went on TV and explained what needed to be done to the people." WRONG Senator.

The crash was in October of 1929. Mr. Roosevelt was *NOT* yet President. Further Senator, TV had not been INVENTED.

So, Mr. Biden, President Roosevelt did NOT, and NEVER DID go on television. Period. You're either an idiot, or a liar.

The JUMP THE SHARK MOMENT?

Our Miss Couric was not listening, did not know he was lying, or didn't care.

$60 Million ought buy us better reporting--at least a LITTLE fact checking, eh?

JTS.

Well, actually both conventions!

While we know that CBS has fired all of Cute Katie's Cronies, and removed the couricisms from the news, now they won't even pony up for a "skybox." Our poor Ms. Couric must suffer with all the noise and pandemonium of the convention floors.

Oh, the humanity! Among the unwashed. Lost in the cacophony. Alone, as a media God, Our Lady of the Couric has to rub shoulders with ... PEOPLE.

Poor Katie.

Even with the Gustav break, CBS can't blow up drama!

How will the Liberal CBS News get Our Lady of Discontent enough to talk about without dragging Bristol's unborn child through the political mud?

Hey Katie, ain't it about time for another rectal exam?

The 2008 Democrat Convention!

Our Miss Couric in her Luke Skywalker headset! Gunning for Ti-fighters?

To be fair, all of CBS shills had them.

JTS moment with technology. They looked like they were workin' the "help desk."

CBS Evening News jumped the shark on April 16, 1962, when Walter Cronkite replaced original anchor Douglas Edwards. Edwards stayed at CBS News for 46 years before retiring in 1988.

Dan Rather was set up. He was intentionally fed a bogus memo, because they knew he would air it without checking. Once the 'scandal' broke, everyone forgot that Bush DID walk away from his air national guard service, but the rush to condemn Rather shifted the focus from the truth, Bush went awol, to the lie, the memo was a fake. Brilliant job by Rove and Co.

Ok, I gave it another go. I watched CBS Evening news again the other night. I still can't help but think that Katie has some cheerleader pompoms sitting under the desk. Network evening news is a dead,dieing medium heading towards a slow miserable well deserved death. I can't for the life of me figure out why they just dont give it up.

June 27, 2008; Steve Hartman's Spawn.

Give us all a damn break! I understand pappa being happy. Proud, even. Brag at work--to co-workers. LEAVE THE NATIONAL NEWS ALONE.

Spawning ain't particularly difficult. 17 girls in one Massachusetts school have done it! Really. Without the help of CBS Evening News.

So what does our Cutie Katie do? Get out the Lay-Z-Boys, hold her hands all compassionate and let ol' Steve-o brag that his balls work. Really. Good boy Steve. Now run off and leave us alone.

I have a question for virile ol' Steve; Did you, at least, have some fun? Especially when you Photoshopped the photo?

Katie has been distructed enough. Now we gotta put up with Steve Hartman gonads. Where the hell is Dan the Liar?

To use a Ratherism: It's Katie bar the door on the evening news. With the internet, who even watches the evening news anyhow? The shark jump began with Rather and the baton was passed mid-air to the horribly mis-cast Ms. Couric. I feel like I'm watching a Jr. High School cheerleader deliver the world's news. The 150 year old Cronkite would be an improvement at this point.

Katie Couric is wonderful ! Hers is the only network news show I'll watch because it is the only one that is not dripping testosterone all over the studio floor. Solid reporting (OK, with a liberal bent) and terrific election coverage.

The only other news show worth watching is Tom Leherer's "News Hour" on PBS.

it got bad when katie couric became the anchor, she is too inexperienced.

I liked Katie on Today in her role as an overaged college girl, an older woman with a youthful sex appeal but for this same reason I could never take her seriously as a newswoman.

To be fair though, it's not Katie that made this show jump but the 24 hour cable news programs and ultimately the internet; the broadcast network evening news program are just not nearly as necessary and relevant as they were decades ago. Uncle Walter at the peak of his powers would not have 1/4 the clout now that he did during the rabbit-ears era. This made it extra hard for me to understand when they threw all that cash at Couric. Didn't the CBS execs have the sense to realize that this kind of show is all so over with?

It appears as though Katie on CBS is DOA. Hopefully, she'll be dropped by them soon and then they can search for a real anchor. Let's hope it's someone who isn't a flaming liberal (Couric, Rather, Cronkite) whose bias gets in the way of almost every story.

Fox is reporting, April 10, 2008, that our Miss Katy will be leaving CBS Evening News in January, 2009! Celebration time!

Here it is; CBS aligns with CNN for reporting -- April 8, 2008. What? Mr. Redstone, you finally fire too many reporters? Is NEWS too difficult for CBS?

Here's a freebee--put that weasel, Byant Gumball at Anchor and sit around interviewing Steve Hartman about all the softie news.

The GOOD? Finally, ALL the Couricisms will be gone. Gone. GONE.

Good-night Miss Couric.
