David Letterman made a comment about Katie Couric replacing Rather on CBS |
|
Please tell me this was a joke?! The actually joke though was "Why would she leave a great position and a successful show at NBC to come to CBS?" Obviously a reference to Letterman himself, not a joke that Couric would replace Rather. Couric isn't a journalist. The idea of her replacing Rather is absurd and an insult to the profession (not that it hasn't been insulted enough already).
I did a google search, but couldn't come up with any news stories or information. Can someone give me more info?

I don't know if it's a wild rumor or true.

3. Yep. It is true. I heard that CBS is trying to lure her away from NBC |
|
for the Dan Rather spot...but hey, truth be told, none of those news guys are really journalists anymore...So we should not be surprised at this.

9. Nah that was her alright. |
|
The Daily Show had clips of it and spliced in some footage of some guys who were cave-dwelling. The inside walls of the cave looked like the inside walls of her intestines. For a minute you actually thought some dudes were walking around inside her colon.
Pure comedy gold.
In all fairness though I understand she slammed Ann Coulter on her show (and might actually be a dem if I'm not mistaken).

10. Wasn't she also who Coulter called Eva Braun? |
|
I'm not sure I understand all the hostility to her.
I can understand someone personally finder her annoying but she isn't exactly RW.

Fuck her and her creature Matt Lauer. He is a liar ("I never met George Bush Sr"...w/a photo on the web of him with GHWB). She's a pin head. I will live to see the day when the "major" networks are nothing more than a ripple on the broad bandwidth of media diversity. They should all go eat shit for betraying this country and being such a bunch of Quislings. I was looking for a movie tonight and I channel surfed cable "news." OMf'ingG, they were wall to wall about some woman who stole a fetus out of another woman's womb. Seems they were web pals from a "rat terrier" breeders club. I'm not making this up. Took about 40 seconds to gather that. Even had pictures of "rat terriers." Our culture is becoming so sick it is not even imaginable. Geez, why can't they just go back to covering something relevant like Scott Peterson!
