Katie Couric is almost out

The end of the "first solo-female anchor of major network's nightly news" seems to be just around a corner....

But some women prefer to still stick their heads in the sand...

Connie Chung says, "Katie should be given as much time as it takes. . . . I'm flabbergasted that anyone would sound some sort of death knell now."


Yes, Connie, right, let Katie Couric keep her job and five years from now we'll be hearing a good news; in addition to attracting more women between age of 18-49 as she does now, Kate has attracted 99.9% of self-identfied gender feminists. Oh, another news, CBS nightly news rate has further dropped to mere 50,000. That's approximately equal to number of women belonging to NOW, AAUW, Feminist Majority, etc....

I could understand the reluctance of people at CBS talking about the issue, espeially if you are men in CBS and being heard complaining about Katie, feminists will have no hesitation in branding them as "enemy of women" or "Neandethaal males who want to keep women in kitchen"...

Despite these overwhelming negative views about Katie's stint at nightly news, my guess is that unfortunately CBS will be stuck with Katie for some time still. You could expect the powerful intervention from women's interest group to keep her on the job just because she is a "woman", and feminist censorors and thought-police would soon be in a full swing to hunt down any negative views on Katie...
