Dan Rather vs. Katie Couric

[npc7474]

The general American audience is just plain dumb and getting dumber ... they are getting the news they deserve... Main stream news is getting closer to the tabloids by the year.

[stvbw]

Honestly you lot are like feeding the chickens throw a few scraps and It'll keep u busy all day.

[stvbw]

Blah Blah Blah.....Dan, Katie, Ronald McDonald, CBS, ABC It's all capitalist rhetoric bs. If you want truth in news turn off your t.v. sets. It's time American mainstream journalism was put into the trash can where it belongs.

[fixerupper1]

You betcha ya.  Bon Voyagee Danny Boy! See ya in sunny florida.

[FlavorRed]

Let's see...

Dan "Bozo Journalism" Rather or Katie Couric...

I pick Katie Couric.

Fuck Dan Rather!

[treehuggerdude4]

i think they are both good, but i am angered when i hear them say that the only reason katie is on is because they are trying to capitalise on her sexiness for viewers.

They are picking katie because shes a sharp woman and helluva journalist.

If she were a sexy young man, like Anderson cooper, we souldnt be having this conversation.

Their immediate dismissal of her skills and belief that shes only there for her looks, is amazingly sexist and offensive.

We are in agreeement.

[zozozoxo]

No people are not watching her because man dominate the news people dont watch women anchors and that is sorry

[softearth]

I always thought MSM News, including CBS News was for old people (60+) and they even admitted it.

[lennonusman]

it has something to do with the gender... see what happened to Clinton.. she didn't win

[lennonusman]

I'll go for Katie... who needs Dan Rather at CBS if you have a better team now.. CBS News have Jeff Greenfield, Bob Schieffer, the ever amiable Harry Smith and their news leader Katie Couric..

[stvbw]

lennonusman you are a moron. FULL STOP.

[lennonusman]

what you wrote says more about you

[umbrellaroom]

Katie had the news credibility.. she's so good

[dowling1981]

umbrella - Do you not think that she gave Danlyn Rather an unfair deal?

[umbrellaroom]

no but she just retaliated for what he commented on the CBS EVENING NEWS

[dowling1981]

umbrella - Yes but I think she was rather impolite, whilst Danlyn Rather was at least civil towards her. Don't you agree?

[umbrellaroom]

no bcoz Dan is so insecure

[dowling1981]

umprella - How do you know how he feels inside?

[umbrellaroom]

he said that cbs is dumbing it down,, tarting it up.. hello?? katie is also doing what brian and charlie's doing... and she's a great news person

[dowling1981]

umbrella - Do you not find some of her views rather finton?

[channelramirez]

"Cat-ty" brought down both the ratings and the bar of real news.

[isthisajoke1]

I'm with you...BBC News rocks....thank heavens for satellite dishes...US News can be so shallow....

[tyso7540]

US news is never really news...its just soundbites because all they care about is ratings.

BBC is the best news source in the world, exponentially better than CNN, which is practically the US Government's news provider (ie propoganda department).

[CultureWar77]

BBC news is Liberal Propaganda. And CNN and MSNBC is trying to be like BBC, but no one could ever be as biased and un-journalistic as BBC is no matter how hard they tried.

[tyso7540]

Not quite. Maybe seems a bit liberal compared to US News, but thats because North America as a whole is rather conservative compared to Europe. It's all a matter of cultural relativity. There's no bias on BBC.

[CultureWar77]

Really? Hehe. I'm going to send you a link. The BBC THEMSELVES admit they are biased. Wake up!

[orangespicevanilla]

This is precisely why most people go to the internet for their news source. Who would watch this crap?

[dorisboy52]

This is why I watch BBC News...sheeesh

[Rmac16]

OMFG SHUT UP

[JimmyK76]

The evening news should not be about ratings. It should be about reporting the most important news objectively and accurately. Stations should make their money on the other shows they have, and leave their evening news programs alone.

[aielojil]

look, i'm just gonna be honest with you.

the main reason i like katie is because i kinda like a GIRL who WEARS THE PANTS.

know what i mean?

[videocrash]

katie needs to show more leg, she might get more viewers lol

[Alexsy82]

i dont think it is profoundly ridiculous to say that you can only get a younger audience by dumbing down the news.

[tyandambika]

there are so many bigger issues that are more important ... this is brain wasting time wasting and exactly what they want you to waste your time with.

[kmillard]

Rosie vs. The Donald was more fun!

[yulaw]

you mean The Donald verus Fatty O'chocolate sauce :)

[kmillard]

Yes, that one. I prefer the simpler Rosie O'Donut.

[yulaw]

lol :)

[Baadj5]

Rosie O DONUT... haahaha I love it!!!

[somewhatlongdong]

"The CBS Evening News with Christiane Amanpour" would win in every market in America

[orangeskydice]

Dan seems envy of Katie
