Katie Couric

[Deleted]

Did a search and didn't see a topic for her.

America's sweetheart must really be pissing people off.

NY Times did a real hit piece on her ( free registration required try username generaljoe7 password generaljoe )

Full disclosure, I myself prefer GMA and Diane Sawyer.

Awesome! The hit piece, that is.

Yeah - she's sucking royally these days. I, too, am a GMA gal, but have been watching Today just for the snark value! Thanks for starting the topic!

Is she still wearing that awful pale pink lip gloss? It made her look like 20 kinds of ass. I also caught what she wore on the Wynn commerci--I mean, last Friday's show on a Daily Show clip. You'd think she'd wear something a little more Vegas than a cardigan and below-the-knee skirt.

The one cute moment I ever saw with her on Today was when she was interviewing LL Cool J, who is pretty hot in general and I would imagine is just walking sex in person. She seemed a little flustered when he playfully flirted with her at the end of the interview.

She looks like an Oompa Loompa.

Ugh. I hate Katie Couric. And there aren't a lot of celebs I waste the energy to hate. But Couric is at the top of my list. I really loathe the uber perky routine. There is something really fake to me about her.

I'm in th Diane Sawyer camp too. I love the relationship between her and Charlie. They are so cute together.

Does anyone think the reason she's a bitch is because she's sick of the 'Ms. Perky' persona when what she really wants to be is a 'hard newswoman'?
I'm just askin'.

Couric will never be seen as a hard news person, she probably would like to be seen that way but then again she looks like she enjoys doing all the fluff stories too much. I hardly even consider Diane Sawyer to be a hard news peson (anymore) and Sawyer is still way above Couric in that department.

That could be. But if her goal is to be taken seriously as a journalist she might try acting like it.

While I agree with CdnChick that Sawyer is less of a journalist then she used to be. I think that Sawyer is more capable of slipping back into that role then Couric.

That's an insult to Oompa Loompas.

That annoying habit of changing into bare legs and sexy heels when she interviews available men is probably what's keeping her from being taken seriously as a journalist.
