The stupidity never ends.
CBS jumping through butt to sign Katie Couric. Insiders say this confirms "suits" are idiots

This just in….


From reliable sources at the nets in NY and DC. CBS is pulling out all stops to get Katie Couric to replace Dan Rather to front the “CBS Evening News.” Insiders say it would be like replacing an idiot with an imbecile.

From reliable sources at the nets in NY and DC. CBS is pulling out all stops to get Katie Couric to replace Dan Rather to front the “CBS Evening News.”

...Insiders say there is much headshaking by practical people at both networks. In the words of one older newsroom type, “They just don’t get it. Couric and Rather are both distrusted by Middle America. These guys never get more than 50 miles away from the Empire State Building unless it’s to go to The Hamptons and they think they know what America wants.”

Insider went on to say “Couric has zero news background. Forget about the fact that she would gush and blush over every Frenchman who wanted to say the U.S. was horrible; can you imagine her trying to cover a breaking news event? When the Challenger blew up, Rather had the “deer in the headlights” look all day. Can you imagine Couric trying to anchor a WTC type event? She would have spent her airtime complaining that the North Tower just fell on her favorite little Parisian bistro in the West Village area!”
