The good news would be the end of Couric doing daily interviews . . . I stand by my own recommendation for the job.

Have any of you watched this giggling idiot lately? She's way too "Hollywood" for a serious anchor desk. During an interview with Tom Cruise, she starts dancing around with him. The woman is a mental midget. We gave up watching the opening/closing ceremonies of the Olympics because we couldn't decide who made us sicker Couric or Costas - "Dumb and Dumber." Wait, Dean as chair DNC...Couric as chair CBS. OMG, Republicans will win in 2008.

"one of TV's few remaining superstar reporters." Shouldn't that read "superatar talking head?" Judgeing by some of her interviews done during the campaign season CBS can do a lot better.

Couric got the NBC gig after years as a local journo here in the DC area (channel 4, WRC). She started out as a beat TV reporter, so she's got those chops. Although your point about her perceived bias is more pertinent in light of Rather's clouded departure.

Do they really need to replace Rather? Why not just re-broadcast "The Daily Show" in his place?

The difference between Tom Brokaw and Katie Couris is the difference between the grand canyon and the bar ditch in my parent's front yard.

"But filling the anchor chair with a morning chat host would signal the end of the nightly network news as a serious player in the news game."

Tom Brokaw went from Today Show to nightly news anchor.
