Kind of offended that Katie Couric was replaced with a man |
|
On CBS News. It's as if they are returning to the sexist formula of decades past. I won't be tuning in.

4. Then you'll be like the rest of America.... |
|
... when Couric was in.
It would be hard to go down.
Evening news is on the decline in any case. I can't think of a female replacement that would have that "Wow, I'm gonna watch now" factor.

5. So, since CBS bucked the trend by going with Couric they should be |
|
forever bound to replacing her with only a woman?

He still claims those NG documents are good to go...

6. Don't fret...you've still got Diane Sawyer, who is as equally annoying as Couric. |
|
Stick with Rachel Maddow and Amy Goodman and be done with it.

So because they chose a man, they are sexist. I really dont get that thinking at all.

13. "I won't be tuning in." |

....I wouldn't be 'tuning in' to any MSM propaganda, you might catch something....
....but please, don't be offended that katie was replaced by a man, be happy and satisfied she was replaced....when it comes to corporate shills, they're all testiclely challenged....

I never watch mainstream news or television anymore . I prefer other sources , not just one sided controlled media . Sorry to see Katie being replaced by a man too . I watched her the first time she was on T.V. some years ago .

18. So, you're saying the only was not to be sexist is to be sexist? |
|
Picking a anchor who's male is automatically a sexist choice?
And picking an anchor specifically because she's female is NOT a sexist choice?
Glad we cleared that up.
Unrec'd.

23. Why would anyone watch cutesy Couric? |
|
She did one good thing and that was by accident. How was she supposed to know that asking someone what they read is a 'gotcha' question? It was a total accident.
