Waiter, there is too much couric on this!

Posted by CorruptedLamb on Friday, July 14, 2006 2:47:13 PM

So Katie Couric is doing a listening tour in my back yard. While you have heard many going on about how the CBS news is going "perky" I think many are missing the point. Since when did a "News Cast" need a listening tour?

I didn't see Brit Hume or Bill O'Reilly do a listening tour... Nor, did Al Franken or Randi Rhodes do one. (Although, come to think of it, they may have actually benefited from one!)

The point is this, I do not believe that there has been a systemic move of the populace in the last 15 to 30 years. The populace did not suddenly change and leave CBS news without audience, we were offered an alternative, and took it in droves! CBS has about as much of a clue to what we want to watch as a deaf bat has of giving good directions.

It is my belief that this was always the case, however, I could be wrong. I just believe that you have to offer a person who knowledgeable, trustworthy, and has enough sense to understand, that WE are the consumers. WE will decide what to watch.

The big story here is not the listening tour, it is the blatant admission by CBS News that it had no idea what we wanted.

And so Nancy Polisi goes on the record telling us how to deal with North Korean dictator. http://democraticleader.house.gov/press/releases.cfm?pressReleaseID=1672 Welcome to the party, why don't you attack the president while your at it. Oh, sorry, you already did!

She calls for "six party, multilateral, and bilateral diplomatic negotiations", maybe we should throw in the kitchen sink to! And what does she fail to mention? The fact that Clinton and "not so Albright" already did that, meaning that the Clinton legacy once again is nothing but sand.

What she does not say is even more telling... That by abandoning the six party talks and starting to talk bilaterally with North Korea, we will be embarrassing both the Chinese and Japanese. Telling them thanks, but we can handle this.

After we tick them off, and fail because we have nothing to smack beloved leader with. (the chinese and japanese do!) Then she can blame the failure on the president, but only after attacking him first.
