Oh dear, get Couric off the air. Ive noticed a peculiar thing ever since CBS hired her for the evening news, she cant stop stating the obvious. It seems to irritate more than help deliver the news.
Although I dont watch television, whenever I visit the neighbor in the evening he always has the news program on. Ive been telling the neighbor that I dont see how she adds to the news program, anybody can read the news to you, and furthermore she seems annoying by repeating whatever the CBS news theme is at the moment, then she may speak with someone else and ask a question that doesnt even need to be asked. CBS is wasting reporting time. When the DJIA rose approximately 359 points, she reported that the Fed reduced interest rates to as low as zero percent. She turned to her colleague and said something like: And with the Dow rising 350 plus points today, Wall Street is pretty happy about that news, right?
Recently the neighbor said that he has now noticed that Couric doesnt do much but read the news and comment about the obvious, but he said she gets $16 million to do it. Wall Street is happy with the news? Come on, the DJIA would need to rise 3,000 points to show a meaningful change and the DJIA would need to go to 15,000 to illustrate a shift in perception.
The news isnt her thing.
I asked a girl about her take on Courics performance on the news program and the girl said Couric did fine as a morning talk show person before going into news and that the news isnt her thing. I spoke with a lady who said she saw Couric having lunch and told her she was doing a good job. I couldnt figure out what she was talking about, good at what?
Example: News without News videos
Update: 2011
Wishes have been answered, Couric has been removed from CBS evening news!
