Award-winning news anchor sails to new ratings low

Quote:
Katie Couric won an award from the USC Annenberg School of Journalism for her interview with Sarah Palin, but CBS is losing viewers by the bucketload. TV Newser posted the bad news earlier today; Couric not only has lost viewers, but she’s gone below a previous new low in audience that Couric herself set during the presidential campaign:
NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams was the #1 evening newscast again last week with a more than 800,000 viewer lead over #2 World News with Charles Gibson. And with an average of 5.18M Total Viewers, the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric had its lowest viewership yet. In fact, it’s the lowest viewership since at least the 1991/92 season, as far back as Nielsen records track.
But — but — but — she’s a great journalist! USC Annenberg told us so! Helen Thomas says “she saved the country” through her tough interview with Palin! Of course, now that the country has almost reached double-digit unemployment and the Obama administration has gone on a record-setting spending spree and deficit explosion, the idea that attacking Palin “saved” anyone seems even more ludicrous than it did a month ago, when Thomas first claimed it.

If they follow the President's lead on "saving" jobs, then she actually gained viewers.

Imagine the reactions if CBS came out and said something along the lines of, "We had forecasted that her results would be much worse, so, in a way, this is good news. "

I haven't watched Katie Couric since 2000, when I left the MSM for the dastardly FNC. But Katie was never as good as Jane Pauley.

Used to be kinda cute. Kinda. I think the day she looked off camera away from Bob Dole and made the finger down the throat gesture, she lost any shred of respect from me.

I wonder if she will show her colon on TV again in an attempt to rekindle America's love affair with her?
