CBS News - How Low Can it Go?

I don't even know what to say about the completely silly, disastrous decision CBS made to hire Katie Couric to head their news department.

Couric is no journalist. She's perky and precious and all of that, and she'll certainly market any dipshit thing Les Moonves (head of CBS programming) wants. She won't ever be controversial.

But she's a piss-poor choice and clear indication the network no longer intends to do any news. Supposedly, the entire news dept at CBS is very, very upset about it.

That Couric could become the first solo woman to anchor a major network news show is a little like saying Condi Rice or Hillary Clinton could become the first woman president. In other words, sure, it's an achievement, but there are such better qualified women for the job that it just makes you sick that the ones chosen are so uninspired and unbefitting of the sacred trust and position.
