Katie Cronkite
Katie Couric isn’t working out as a news anchor. Not because she’s a woman, but because she’s from a fluff morning show that’s about as worthwhile as a stale egg mcmuffin. She has just as much gravitas as Matt Lauer or Regis Philbin would. Which is to say none. And guess what, Tom Brokaw was closer to a speech impediment than gravitas. NPR’s top four anchors, Jim Lehrer, Gwen Ifill, Ray Suarez and Margaret Warner could easily replace anyone from cable or the major networks, except for maybe Brian Williams. Until they stop hiring uneducated lightweights and reporters who mistake their own importance with the importance of the story, network news will continue to be one of the least recommended places to go to stay up on current events. Use that half hour to take a nice long crap in the can with a paper. Or watch the Daily Show.
