I never liked Katie Couric either. She's just a loud mouth and all about me mentality.
She copped a lot of public sympathy when her husband died - maybe 5 or 6 years ago.
And let's face it - the Today Show, Good Morning America, and whatever the hell the CBS equivalent is are geared toward the soccer mom, the guy on his way to work, and to the stay-at-home who get their news that way. Thirty second sound bites that "report the news."
My ass.
Those people - Matt Lauer, Diane Sawyer, Robin whatsherface, Charlie Gibson, and Katie Couric are as far removed from journalism as I am from Beijing.
They are
entertainers. Pure and simple.
It's a good damned thing I don't want to be "entertained" in the morning. (I can't say the same for Mrs. E, though. It's all I can do to keep from barfing when she's got GMA on the idiot window.)
