Katie Couric

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc6DrYvMkyY

The only reason she's so high on the list is that Palin made a fool out of herself during a Couric interview.

Wow! Katie is being underrated here. As a journalist she has what it takes and is not simply a talking head spieling what she hears through an earpiece like many others on this list.

Se Peter Jennings.

Has a lot of Dan's writers still working for her.

Another liberal hack and she doesn't care who knows it because it's so obvious. She did a real hatchet job on Gov Palin and then bragged about "it was just good journalism". This witch wouldn't know good journalism if it bit her on the ass. On top of everything else, she makes an obscene amount of money for simply reading the news and giving it her out of touch elitist slant.

Compeletely overpaid....not a journalist and definately not worthy of the large salary! Her coverage on the inauguration, would have been better, if she had not filled up the moments with dumb statements like, "President Obama, is wearing a coat, because he is cold"...duh!!! We do not need to hear this ....it would have been better, if instead she had spoken about historical facts, figures on past inauguration. Nor do we care, about the dress the First lady wore, we are more concerned with the person that she is, as opposed to whether she looks good in it or not! Katy has started to sound like she belongs on the Gossip page of some tabloid! Sorry! Stay away from Plastic surgery, collagen etc..!!!

I don't turn in to CBS for the nightly news with Couric, and I agree with most that she doesn't come across as a serious journalist. However, I found myself watching CBS for the Inauguration coverage today, and Couric did a good job of facilitating discussion amongst the experts who were there.

Should be hosting "Entertainment Tonight." About as tough as iceberg lettuce.

A LITTLE ON THE ARROGANT SIDE!!!

Was it possible to take the CBS Evening News to a lower point than Dan "What's The Frequency,Kenneth?" Rather did? Katie did!

Lady you give me the creeps! What's with that Stanley Kubrick stare?  We were suppose to love you; why?  Because you're perky?  Because you're cute?  Because you're politics are oh so right?  Hey Katie do us all a favor and take your money, buy a home in the furtherest corner of Connecticut and never ever go on TV again.  Look you maybe the chief turd in the CBS toilet but you're still a turd.

The highest paid anchor cries "sexism."  I remind what Sam Goldwyn once reputedly said when one of his movies did poorly at the box office: "If people want to stay away, you can't stop them!"

I notice some posters have a problem with her liberalism, but that doesn't bother me. What does bother me is that she is a lightweight;she is not really a journalist to me.UPDATE: Liberal or not, becoming anchor of CBS News, was a bad idea. She is not a serious journalist;so is it any surprise that she is a bad fit for this position? She would be better off hosting an Oprah-style talk show.

never saw the draw to this woman

Possibly worse that Rather as hard as that is to believe.

I feel she has let the fame and fortune go to her head. I feel money was a motivator to move. When you become greedy it will bring you down

Left-wing tool and America-hater. Google her name followed by the word "quotes". Its amazing the biased trash this woman spouts, and has for years.

boring and biased

Cute but not a news person. Entertainment reporter maybe. Her trip to Iraq shows just how bad she really is.

I have not seen Katie Couric since she left The Today Show.  I do know this: The Today Show has changed since she left, and not for the better.

If Katie Couric would go back to be herself, make the evening show to fit her personality and deliver the news with her unique style of connecting with the people, she would be the biggest hit on evening news. But, unfortunately, she has to follow the producers or whomever owns the show and they probably are telling her to follow the male style. She needs to break from it and she will rock. She needs to deliver the news in her own unique style, not copy the old goats... A lot more of young people would be interested in the news and her ratings would hit the roof. She needs to be herself again. And please get out of those dark, ugly suits, they are not you. DOn't try to be boring, you can't you are alive, kind, smart, leave those suits for th eold goats...

She is nice to look at in a large mouth troll (the cute ones) kind of way but, doesn't seem very knowledgeable and probably shouldn't be the news anchor for the CBS Evening News. She was better on The Today Show because its mostly fluff anyway.

That sloppy-looking mouth. 'Nuff said!

I'M MADE AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!

She personifies the word "superficiality" and, considering the obscene salary she's being paid, that "superficiality" is obviously what the corporate media values most. Her teeth are bigger than her brain.

Everyone knows someone that most people seem to despise.  In Katie Koresh's case, it's deserved.Hey, Katie:  SOME PEOPLE say your heart beats only to suck the life force from your competition...and SOME PEOPLE say you've only succeeded because of the misfortune of others...how would you respond to SOME PEOPLE, Katie?

Her quest for glory is just too much. She belongs in hollywood among the movie stars. It's so obvious.

Seems more like "real people" of old than hard news. Like and entertainment show. Turn the gas oven on, put my head in, light a match, scorch my brain.

She should have been left in the Morning.She sucks up to the Corporate Disinformation machine with dirt on her knees.

Katie was fine but the new format 'sucks'

She's a sweety but she doesn't belong on the evening news. Send her back to morning TV.

so biased I had to vomit

It doesn't matter where she goes, I have the remote in hand in order to keep the gag reflex under control. Just shows how far out in LEFT FIELD the mainstream media is.

She was like watching a PR person for the democratic party! I have no problem with peoples political affiliations, but keep it out of your "reporting!" She'll be a perfect replacement for Rather she won't have to change at all!

I cannot believe the things that I have read. Katie is a single parent who is doing what she does best. Why are we so envious and malicious in the what we say about people? Why is she fake??? Sorry, but a lot of you don't know the difference between being professional and doing your job and being fake. Step out of the box. There are viewers who would like to hear the answers to certain questions...she is just doing her job. Get a life and stop being such haters. Katie is fabulous and I wish her all the best in her new position as host of the CBS evening news. I'm sick to my stomach when I see all the disgusting things some of you have written. Keep it to yourself. Didn't your mother teach you that if you have nothing good to say don't say it!!!!!!Keep up the good work Katie.

She looks Like ET on steroids. I think she should phone home soon and maybe we could get her out of our face>

I like Katie and enjoy her interviews. It's so sad how many people on here feel good putting someone else down.....didn't that stuff stop in high school??

Maybe it's because I'm a woman her age, and thus not enthralled by her looks or her overrated legs, but I find her shallow, conceited and embarrassing. She is phony and you can tell that she's a bossy bitch when the camera isn't on her. Her interviewing "skills" are awful. Dan Rather had his faults, but at least he projected some intelligence. And women like her, who have been told all their lives that they are cute, really do not age well. They wear skirts too short, too much makeup, and desperately try to appear younger than they are. How about aging with a little dignity ? - Diane Sawyer, Leslie Stahl and Barbara Walters manage to.

I agree with Tennisbabe. She is very personable, a good interviewer, I've seen her show compassion where it is due, and has great chemistry with her colleagues. I think she'll bring a great new element to the evening news. I think some people misinterpret the word fake with professional.

FAKE

quite simply, I'd rather stick my head in a gas over than listen to the abrasive, rude witch. She must have some blackmail material on her bosses or she would be down at the corner car wash hustling tips.

This Lady has to be one of the number one ladys of the news and she is the prettest of the news ladys.

I Say, Give Her A Break. You Can't Argue She's Worked Hard To Be Where She Is. In Studio, She's Sexy As Hell! Out of Studio, An Average Plain Jane. BUT, I Can't Believe People Are Complaining About The Length Of Her Skirts. They Must Be Either Jealous Women or Blind Men! Age Has NOTHING To Do With Showing Off Nice Legs. A Woman In Her 60's & 70's Can Look Sexy In A Short Skirt If She Has Shapely Legs. As A Horndog In My 40's, I LOVE Katie's Legs! Who Cares About Her Views or Her Reporting, Her Face Is Pretty, Her Smile Is Cute, and Her Legs Are Awesome! The Shorter Her Skirts, The Better My Day Is!

No longer a journalist. Has morphed into a "TV personality."

Horrible, a 10 year old girl has more poise than this giggly overaged teen-ager has, and CBS is considering HER for an anchor? Would not watch her if she got to interview God in person! Much more a sleazy "Entertainment Tonite" type reporter than a real anchor.

OK for the Today Show, but never for the CBS Evening News--Fluff, fluff, fluff

Dan Rather in drag? This woman needs to realize that her legs aren't that nice and perhaps she should dress a little more conservatively. OOPS that's right she is far left liberal.

Why is this woman still employed?

Katie will always be beautiful.
