Kate, she may not be as capable but she was hired to do a job and she did what she was hired for. To attack her for that is wrong. Attack those who hired her and told her it was to be turned into a Today format. Look at the evening news on most any station. It has all pretty much turned into a spin zone by people who are neither actual newmen nor are they talented. I just watched 5 minutes of FOX and it was all spin. Democrats did this, Democrats did that. But this is what they do. That isn't news because it is incomplete in their arguement. Then I went to MSNBC and get Tucker and Matthews, back to back. That isn't news either. Those are both op-ed slanted to however the host wants to slant them. Why aren't they being put on the same chopping block at Couric?

News is reporting what happened and let the viewer/listener determine or come to a final conclusion. Not the media telling us what we need to believe as facts without all the pertinent information.

In other words they tarted up and dumbed down the news.
