Did CBS make a huge mistake hiring Katie Couric for the Nightly News anchor position?

Ms. Couric is a poor choice for the position, IMHO.  I've seen other fine anchorwomen do a fantastic job, without coming off looking like a piece of cotton fluff, again, IMHO.  I am sure they did not put her in the slot for gender's sake, but if they did, there are others that are far better qualified.

I would have liked to have seen it go to Campbell Brown, don't care much for Vieira I thought she was quite often vulgar on the View. I think that they'll have to keep her more in check on Today or they'll be doing a lot of apologizing for her...\n\nI think that they should have taken a chance on Brown like they did with Katie who was completely unknown to the public before she initially replaced Debra Norville. Oh well..

i so totally agree barbara walters and abc need to come to their senses and rid themselves of rosie . Her senseless comments are not needed or wanted. i think that the view is headed for cancelation alley and they will have done it to themselves for hiring a selfish manipulating person better known as rosie o donnell. good luck god bless and happy thanksgiving.

It was very unprofessional of Faith to act that way-she should have applauded graciously as the other nominees did. She may lose a lot of fans because of it.

I think it's a shame.  There are so many women out there that are worse than her, but just because she is famous and in the spot light, every little thing wrong she does is seen by the world.  She is a new mom that is learning!!  She did make some dumb mistakes, but who hasn't?!

If you run a search, you might find something esp since E! featured her in one of their True Hollywood Story episodes. I believe they had some clips of her doing the weather. \n\nShe anchored the news here before moving to Chicago. The first female news anchor. We're very proud to have had a hand in her future success.

Wow, i'm right with you. I did not get that at all. Were those kids really professional talk-show hosts or was it some gig nbc did? It was def weird

Tabloids wouldn't need to be paid to keep her in the spotlight.  She's always doing something stupid.  She's worse than Jessica Simpson.

I HONESTLY THINK THAT THIS SHOW, JUST MIGHT BE RIGGED! Because last nights show...Kathrine was the one that was supposed to go, but right at the last minute, the announcer was told to pick CHRIS. It was so very obvious. How "CRUEL"and How very "HOUND-DOG-GISH"! Wouldn't you all agree? I am very "MAD" about how they tricked CHRIS. He is very, very, very good! And he did not deserve that at all. "BOO.....AMERICAN IDOL"!!!! BY THE WAY, ELLIOTT? well what can I say....YOU ARE! ALWAYS HAVE BEEN! AND WILL BE ....THE NEXT AMERICA'S FANTASTIC, GLORIOUS VOICE, "GOD" LOVING IDOL...AMEN!!! AND MAY GOD BLESS AND BE WITH EACH AND EVERYONE ONE OF YOU!  GOOD LUCK!

Without going on some rant I will put it to you logically so wake up and pay attention!. The truth lies somewhere in between Laura's assertion and MSNBC's (NBC's) assertion that they are always or usually in the field. In other words, they are both right some of the time and wrong some of the time, depending on what particular report they want to reference. Now that's a "fair and balanced" assessment ;)

YES!! definately annoying especially after that whole SNL rap thing. that was lame. oh i saw the pbs thing too and was like "what the--?"  she stars in an action flick based on a comic book and shes suddenly talking to charlie rose as if shes a political expert? you know there's waaaay too much of her when you can't even watch politics on pbs without her showing up.

It appears all 24 hour news programs focus on sensationalist stories, not only the "right-wing" ones.  Even left wing broadcasts such as CNN and MSNBC focus on the sensationalist stories.  They often cover the same stories at the same time even, and the only difference remaining would be the commentators.  Its all about the ratings.  And sensationalist stories get people watching, which makes the stations money, which is all any of them really care about in the first place

I'm with you,Jamie. I think the only reason they hired Rosie in the first place was so that Star would leave! They knew the two didn't get along,but did they care? No!  I have a feeling that once Rosie joins the show and starts spouting off her lesbian viewpoints,they'll get tired of that pretty quick! Star may have the last laugh yet!

Other than someone who is incredibly biased, factually incorrect, and needlessly divisive, she wouldn't be too bad. Well, there's also the deliberately provocative use of emotionally charged words, as well. \nBut she seems to fulfill the need of some to demean anyone who she decides to label as liberal, right or wrong.

As soon as the show went on a six week hiatus in the winter I knew it was in trouble.  then they put the show on a different night and time.  They set the show up for failure.  I read somewhere it was creative differences as far as the story lines were concerned - to focus on the rivary between the President and the Speaker of the House or more toward the first family issues. Unfortunately, I guess in the long run it did not matter.
