She is especially bright; ask Bob Scheiffer-the one that said she'd never make it as a prime time host. Sorry Bob, she's held all of the time slots and managed them all very well; my favorite being the cohost with Matt Lauer. As you've already figured out, I am a full blown Katie fan.

Nowhere do you see a male anchor characterized as vicious, brazen etc. (Bill O'reilly, Stern and Limbaugh etc are of a small segment theater.)Hilary gets the same treatment. Women in the church are treated the same---with disdain. Support Katie. Its not even close. How clear can it be.

What do you consider "showbiz"? I don't watch much news at all so I'm not sure what you mean. Is it the content on her newscast, delivery style, media or what? :-? Interesting comment, Nate.

There's already too much fluff in the news and Couric is adding more. Probably this is only part of what going on, but I think it is something. If Couric were the Hillary Clinton of newsreaders (i.e., very strong on substance) there would be more of a case for Couric losing because of sexism.

Not sure. I do think that the flack she's been taking lately, however, is due to poor management on the part of her producers, not of Katie herself. CBS was a network on its way out before Katie was ever hired on to breathe life into its news broadcast. Unfortunately, it seems that only the "prettiest" of female anchors/reporters is getting hired these days, yet the men are as varied as you can get. I don't know when the day will come that we aren't judged solely by our appearance or amount of makeup. :( Good luck, Katie...you'll have to do TWICE as well as a man could to get an equal amount of credit. :( Okay…frankly, I have just never cared for Katie Couric. ;) Has nothing to do with her being a woman (there are several female news anchors on the cable networks, btw), I just don’t care for her personality, maybe.
