They're Trying To Kill Her Off!

Filed under: TV News > Katie Couric

couric.jpg

They're grasping for straws!

In a desperate attempt to gain ratings and claw her out of last place, the CBS Evening news is shipping Katie Couric to Iraq.

The chipmunk toothed news anchor will also travel to Syria and beginning Tuesday she will anchor the evening newscast from Baghdad and Damascus.

    Whenever I watch the News I watch the Spanish News Channels, I can't understand what they say but all the women are smoking hot and young and have large breasts and show their legs. This is what Network News has to do to get back viewers

    In life people should be thankful for what they have, once you've found your niche stick to it. It was a horrible mistake for Katie to leave NBC, it was a disaster for Meredith Viera to leave the View. Now they both have faded into obscurity.

    She's only last because no one can accept the fact that a strong woman is in that time slot.
    So fuck them.
    I hope Katie rocks the story.
    Good luck girl!

  22. andrea says – reply to this


    22

    I cannot stand the way she says "Do-een" instead of "Doing" etc. Anything ending with "ing". She cutesifies it.
    They have to find a way to get some share of the audience!!
    Her rating have been very "humble-een", for sure!!

    Hey Katie,
    I'm telling everyone not
    to read the book coming out
    about you called "Katie:The Real Story"
    by author Edward Klein because he says you
    are sex crazy and a total witch.
    The story is in the Globe this week with
    Oprah's Mid-Life Meltdown on the cover.

    Does this mean when this doesn't work either, they will finally get rid of her? I hope so. Katie is a joke, an infotainment reporter. She kissed murder suspects The Ramseys butts, simply to get "an exclusive". GAG. Everyone gets this, which is why viewers have left in droves. They want the real news at night, not Katie's news lite.

    31

    …well, at least she'll go out with a bigger bang than the one she came in on… she's just another "gee, look at how cute i am" flop who will WISH she tanked in iraq if her ratings don't pick up… never has anyone curried more contempt among those she must rely upon than this wannabe — she's over rated, over paid, and over her head — good riddance….

    You're kidding! As clumsy as she is, she'll fall in some hole and put everybody around her in harm's way. I wouldn't send her anywhere. She'll want everybody in Iraq to undergo colonoscopies.

    53

    What's the uproar? Saint Angelina is taking the very same trip - she has 4 children she's leaving at home. These women are all on the same publicity-seeking mission. Media _hores - each and every one. My berber guide in the Sahara this summer said he had Brangelina on a trip in the Sahara while Brad was filming Babel and she was hard hearted - demanding the small camel boys stay away from her. So much for the Saint act when the cameras are not snapping. No one is fooled by her - she keeps the monstrous media machine humming for the money. Brad is pushing eco homes in N.O while spewing jet fuel in the air from his private jet - flying by private helicopter to the Hamptons - wake up.

    I believe CBS can do nothing to improve ratings for Katie Couric she is not in the eyes of the purblic a news anchor she is a hostess for a talk show or morning show. I have a great deal of difficulty even trying to listen to her read the news. Sending her to Bagdad or Syria is not the answer. Thanks

    Can someone please give this poor woman some eyebrows!

  56. kim says – reply to this


    56

    I love Katic Couric. She is my role model and an inspiration to all. Her husband died of cancer and she has done A LOT to raise money and awareness of colon cancer. Reporting from the feild will give us a better perspective of the issues. Girls stop looking to whores like Paris and Lindsey as role models. Take a cue from Katie!

    Some advice for you Katie, Kat, Katherine, Ms. K–whatever–first, work on the shiny forehead thing. Go for some bangs to cover that Frankenstein look. Second, sorry 'K' nobody seriously takes your for a serious anchor. You're a chick and your best shot was on the Today Show. Don't worry though, CBS will hand you a nicely packaged golden parachute and you can move on gracefully with a multitude of excuses for a book. Just like the blonde chick that took over for Jane Pauley briefly. Third, for goodness sakes, don't do a Michael Dukakis and put on a helmet and try to drive around in a tank. It's stupid. Dukakis lost an election for that and other reasons and you'll just lose ratings. Fourth, are you going to cover your head with a scarf or not. Advice on that: Cover so as not to annoy the natives who think that Somebody Upstairs thinks woman should cover their heads. Fifth, no camel riding, no hookah smoking, and please, please don't say how good the falafel tastes because it reminds you so much of the falafel back home in New York. They–the natives you'll see–own the rights to that stuff (looks like baby poo does it not?) and won't appreciate comparisons. Sixth, don't interview celebs doing shows for the troops in Iraq; they are not the story there. Lastly, no nude sunbathing. That's a no-no. OK, Kate, Katie, Kathy–whatever–have fun in the sun! Oh, one more piece of advice: Take Perez Hilton with you and leave him there! :)

    63

    Perez, I am baffled by your dislike of Katie Couric. You never mention the fact that the CBS Evening News has been in third place since 1990, and although they certainly hoped new blood would turn their fortunes around, it might take more than just one year to reverse people's viewing trends. Do you ever actually watch the CBS Evening News? If you did, you would see a broadcast of great strength and seriousness of purpose, just as good if not better than the other two network's shows.

    69

    She's okay, kind of boring. See the grass isn't always greener……I'm sure she doesn't want to give up her anchor job but if ratings sink any lower, she may just decide to leave on her own. She has enough money to live on so suck it up!!!!

  70. awesome says – reply to this


    70

    This is GREAT! Instead of that Attention-whore Jolie being in Iraq, real journalists, even Katie, need to be there and pressure the end of the war.

    Start showing more graphic images on the news and internet of the war
    and it will be over !

    74

    If she does go to Iraq, it will be closer to combat than any of her chickenhawk "heroes" - Rush, Coulter, Cheney, Dubya, Quayle, Pat Robertson, etc - have been. Typical Republican sissies sending brave fighting men and women off to fight extended deployments while they stay home and plunder the US.

    If Sean Hannity, Ruch Limbaugh and the other far rightwing nuts had any balls they would be broadcasting from Iraq as well

    But its easier to talk about how wonderful things are REALLY going in Iraq than it is to go their and admit its not.

    77

    I used to watch the Today show when Katie was on there, no longer. She needs to go back it is dry. They should have given Katie's job to Ann Curry. I do not think Meridith is doing such a good job, she should have stayed with the View.

    I like Katie, whenever I watch the evening news I tune in to her show for support. I'm not thrilled she's going to Iraq only because she's a single parent, but it's part of the job… How many of our single parent soldiers are over there doing their jobs while their kids are being raised by others??? That sucks too. I say go and do your job with faith, not fear. Maybe the news you report will finally give the people of this country what they need to stand up to Emporer Bush.

    When Katie gets shot, will CBS get higher rating?

    Can't they just shoot her in NY and save money?
