Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
Drudge Report - CBSNEWS anchorwoman and 60 MINUTES contributor Katie Couric faces a dramatic pay cut at the network, insiders tell the DRUDGE REPORT. CBS boss Les Moonves is determined to save money and trim expenses -- from top to bottom -- at the former crown jewel of broadcasting.
Mediaite - Fox News had its best January in the history of the network, and was the only cable news network to grow year-to-year.











Anyone want to start a pool on which network smartens up first? Or is that really possible?
I can't think of a more deserving anti-perk for the perky one.
There's a bubble-headed bleached blonde comes on at five,
She can tell you about the train wreck with tears in her eyes...
Ethnic cleansing comments link down.
Something contained within the Drudge link is another story about Dan Rather crying (literally) that nothing less than the White House has to "save" the press through the eventual creation of some poorly explained "public trust". He also bemoans the lack of war correspondents today.
The only thing Rather really wants to save is the dying liberal media. There are good war correspondents out there like Micheal Yon but the liberal media won't hire them because they can't be trusted to put the appropriate liberal slant on their stories.
Would be fun if Fox hired Couric to co-host with Sarah Palin.
I'm with you unclemeat. Let's say abc, nbc or cbs were to move to the right; maybe pilfer some fox employees. Sure the right thinking people would say it's the end of "objective" journalism. But I'd bet dollars to donuts they'd buy the stock.
Much like Obama says that people don't like his policies because he hasn't explained them well enough, perhaps the MSM hasn't explained the news to us well enough either.
I've had the extended cable pak including FNC for one month now and its not hard to see why FNC is surging. I go to MSNBC during Fox commercial breaks and I'm appalled at the tone of Matthews, Olbermann and 'Ed.'
Along with freerepublic.com, I find FNC's coverage of congressional politics exciting. Scott Brown's victory in MA was a fine example of, IMO, fair coverage. And there's an entire electoral season just ramping up. Our HoC can stay prorogued as far as I'm concerned.
Do you think B O'Reilly will miss this one?
Bwahahaha
Agreed Dennis, that is the play; although I'm not sure that BO has the political capital(actually I know he doesn't) to move on the "anti-speech" agenda which is what Dan Rather is suggesting. In the leftoid not so perfect world, liberal news would be publicly subsidised up to 100%, whereas all other news would not. Of coarse in the perfect liberal world, there would be no competition for liberal news… and don’t forget the subsidies.
Katie Couric, you don't have to take this!
Stomp your pretty little foot and go on a screaming jag.
Go on the air and cry a lot, and talk about unfairness to women, and cross your legs a lot.
You'll show them!
Poor Katie. It must suck having the envious collective musing about how to get their cut of your hard earned money. I guess Katie didn't get the memo, that she should feel guilty about her success.
All we watch is Fox anymore, on Fox you get the angry lefties like Ellis Henican, Lamont Hill, Kirsten Powers, Thompson Joe Klein etal every night, be it on O'Rilley, Hannity Greta or Beck, Fox lets these idiots rant on, and show the viewers the stupidity of their thoughts and the angery faces they hide behind, great station, if only I did not have to pay for the pathetic CCCCBC stations to get Fox. In Canada we are force fed the angry faces in newspapers, Weston, Martin, Omalley, Travers, on TV, Mansbridge, Boag, Fife the magic news-fairy etc. We have to indirectly pay these losers wages, sad. We need Fox Canada now!
can we have BawBaw walters and Katie crying together? Now that i would watch,if only to see how many eggs are thrown at the two frauds.Pravada could take lessons from NBC,ABC,CBC,etc.The poor commies never stood a chance against the leftards.Pretty sad when todays left make the commies look like rabid conservatives.
I saw that too Dennis, from the guy who may have done more than anyone to kill the credibility and therefore the viability of the liberal MSM product, "Taxpayer we implore you, save us from ourselves". Ten years ago, I wouldn't have believed it, but now, thanks to the internet and blogs like this, it's all too tediously predictable.
I got FNC 4 years back, and haven't bothered to tune into CBC news even once since then.
When they lose HNC on saturdays, they'll only have their relatives watching that leftist propaganda they shovel as news.
Alienated - here in Calgary, they reassigned the TV channel number a few years ago. I have to admit I barely visit the 3-16 channels, ever. I don't even know what channel CBC is.
Katie Couric’s Forbidden Dance of Gin - aka "Cougar Predating on Young Bucks"
Must be seen to be dis-believed.
“When CBS News anchor Katie Couric isn’t asking Sarah Palin gotcha questions, she’s doin’ Da Butt, or the Lambada, or whatever white ladies do when the Black Eyed Peas are on the sound system. More unbelievable images after the jump.”
“UPDATE: We’ve learned that these are from the after-party celebrating Couric’s debut as anchor of the CBS Evening News. Oh, lord.”
Expect Katie Couric to accept this setback with the same quiet dignity that she demonstrated celebrating her promotion.
Spoiled by six years of fox News in Texas, the first thing I did up here was make sure that fox News was in my cable bundle. I had to include MSNBC too but I don't think my remote will even recognize that channel selection.
Fox must be laughing. Earn big $$$ by reporting the truth - not exactly a hard formula, but well executed on their part.
I'm really sad for Katie, I think she's worth every cent, and if anything she should be given a raise... make it an even $20 million. Let those that toil in the trenches for the old school networks know exactly what the higher ups think of them and their worthless pap. I'm serious. Katie has paid pedicure? talk about it. Katie has a personal maid in each apartment? talk about it. Katie has a personal chef at home and another at work? talk about it. Katie has her this, Katie has that, talk about it.
... feed the alligators... feed the dissent... stir shit up... Alinsky rules. (hahaha).
Last night Olbermann was bragging that MSNBC is the # 1 news network aside from Fox. Well, even if that is true, that still puts him way down the list since Fox has the top six or seven shows.
But the last ratings listing I saw, Olbermann wasn't even ahead of Joy Rehab and her lame show.
And as for Chris Mathews, I forgot he was a news show host for about an hour every night.

That was true when the Smirk was @ NBC with Bryant Gumbel...Gumbel took advantage of her.. you know what I mean... Her Husband was dying and Katie was career building with knee Pads.. Just think of that smiling face looking up at Gumbel…
She earned her place at NBC..............
Katie Couric - wasn't she the one in that "So You Think You Can Dance Drunk" audition video?

This is the set up the Obamites will use to legally take over the press. In good Chittagong politics. They will owe Obama while he calls the shots.
In other words its the end of the free press in America. It will take a while to bring down private companies like Fox. It will be done through legislation.
The Marxist is right on schedule to own all of the US by the Government. So in effect the Constitution becomes just an old piece of paper.
Glenn Beck for POTUS in 2012!
...and speaking of Beck, his archnemesis, Queef Odor-Man, has been on the prowl too, but with little success:

Fox News had its best January in the history of the network
Yeah, and Dumb and Dumber did boffo box office for a while...
I guess his proves:
1) the idea of the "liberal media" is a propaganda myth that intelligent people always said it was
and 2) that more right-wingers sit on their fat asses watching TV while left-wingers do things like have jobs and take action and stuff.
Sarah Palin was forced to answer questions that nasty Katie couriac sneered at her during the 08 election. Now Sarah Palin has a job at the only popular news outlet in the USA! Poetic Justice.
