Congrats to a fellow native of NoVA, on becoming the very first woman to anchor an evening newscast alone.

The first major News Anchor I can have dreams about.

[RedskinsDave]

I just don't see her in that role. I don't care for her much anyways and I hardly ever watch network news, but going from being the spunky morning chick to an actual newsperson may not work.

[paner]

were any of you guys listeneing to Imus the other day ?
Andy Rooney was one of imus's guests on the show. imus asked rooney what he thought of the changes at CBS News. rooney basically said that he's not enthusiastic about it. he said that he thinks everybody likes Katie Couric. I mean how can you not like Katie Couric.he said that he doesn't know anybody at CBS News who is pleased that she’s coming here (CBS).
---------------------------------------------------
me again : well, they had to do something about the low ratings. hey, give it a shot i say. aren't they in last place now anyway ?

[J-Rod]

I don't know but Katie Couric gives me the creeps. Smile too wide, too many teeth, and too d@mn happy to be up that early.

I'll pass on CBS news thank you...

[The Skinsinator]

This is good to hear for Katie Couric as she is one of the best in the biz at her job. As already stated, more money and more laid back hours. Can't blame her at all for accepting it.

[VTBob]

I don't see Katie Couric as an evening anchor, and I'm really getting tired of the media playing this up as one of the most historic landmarks in the age of television - sure, she is the first evening network anchorwoman to hold the desk down herself, and that is a first and a good thing, but I'd consider Margaret Thatcher running Britain for a decade a bigger deal than Ms. Couric reporting the news for 30 minutes an evening...

[ryflan47]

red alert, red alert. We have a kelly/sherry/merlin sighting!!!!
what do you mean kelly/sherry/ merlin sighting?
what is red alert red alert.
where are you coming from.
oh well.
it's ok.
one day i will know what you meant.

Merideth Vieira is taking over for Katie Couric.
should be good - - http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/brentbozell/2006/04/12/193419.html

It used to be that marching in protests was a serious obstacle to job security in the so-called "objective" media. In the fall of 1997, Whoopi Goldberg declared in an interview with Katie Couric that the two of them had marched together in a pro-abortion march. Couric protested, "Nooo. I'm not allowed to do that," as she giggled nervously. Goldberg, stared upward and said, tongue in cheek, "Oh, no, that's right. We have not marched together. It was somebody that looked like you." Couric called me personally to assure me she had never done so. Today, she's being replaced by someone who puts her left-wing protest pictures up on screen for the public to see.

Howard Kurtz of The Washington Post was virtually the only major reporter to note Vieira's very recent protesting past. The other reports, from AP to USA Today to the New York Times to the Los Angeles Times and beyond (most of them kind enough to mention, vaguely, conservative objections to Vieira's hiring), noted Vieira made on-air statements on Iraq -- but airbrushed out the attempted GOP-convention-spoiling march.

Conservatives ought not forgive or forget what this so-called "objective" anchor was trying to accomplish. As the New York Times lyrically reported, "the Republican convention's calculated claims to patriotism and the presidency met elaborately planned and heavily Democratic street protests ... the demonstrators doused a good bit of Mr. Bush's intended message with television images of dissent."

NBC's claims to objectivity have been doused by the appointment of Meredith Vieira, leftist anchor/protester -- again.

As opposed to the Fox unbiased rantings where they actually pose the premise that Civil War is good for Iraq and Democrats pesimism is effecting the market.
