NYT: PANIC HAS SET IN A ROCKEFELLER CENTER OVER NBC 'TODAY' SHOW

NEW YORK TIMES writer Alessandra Stanley is set to kick NBC's TODAY show host Katie Couric when she is down -- kick her hard!
The whole MSM should get the same treatment until the media-droids are reduced to begging outside porn theaters and living under bridges.
Facing audience erosion, Couric "has grown downright scary: America's girl next door has morphed into the mercurial diva down the hall," Stanley is planing to smack in Monday editions, newsroom sources tell DRUDGE.
"Hopefully" she can escape to Syria, a wish she expressed on behalf of the Saddam devil-spawn a couple of years ago.
"At the first sound of her peremptory voice and clickety stiletto heels, people dart behind doors and douse the lights."
She-wolf of the MSM
NBC has turned TODAY and Couric "into a Marxist-style cult of personality.
Taking her role-models too seriously, eh?
The camera fixates on Couric's legs during interviews, she performs in innumerable skits and stunts, and her clowning is given center stage even during news events. TODAY hit a low point in July, when Saddam Hussein appeared in a Baghdad courtroom to hear the charges he will face when he goes to trial as a war criminal.
She was almost literally in sackcloth and ashes the day after he was captured, funereal black dress, puffy reddened eyes, tone of near-despair; you would think that her best friend had just died--rather than just being thrown in jail.
"All the networks interrupted their programming to show live images of Saddam -- all except NBC. TODAY stayed on Couric swatting shuttlecocks with the U.S. Olympic badminton team." Stanley punches: "Something has to be very wrong with NBC's TODAY if viewers are turning to ABC's Diane Sawyer as a refreshingly wholesome, down-to-earth alternative."
Well, there are reported to be nude pics of Sawyer ("hopefully" very old pics) on the net and none of Al-Qatie.
Impacting late Sunday...

#9  I remember about six years ago when she came into town for a local-hosted Today show feed (in Providence). The way the local staff oohed and ahhed and fawned all over her was nauseating. Of course, she just sucked it all up like she was the Queen.

#8  and on top of all that, Couric's legs are highly overrated.

There. I've said it, and I'm glad.

#7  Well I think she's kind of cute. Say! Anyone got a link to that- umm- proctology footage?

#6  Moreover, she looks like Mark Hamill in drag.

#5  Well, that's what they all get for trying to "re-create" "news" as "info-tainment". What will be hilarious is if someone creates a low-budget program of 'dry' news with a minimum of news wire pap, and read by an ugly guy with the delivery of Jack Webb. At it is a huge hit.

#4  Is CBS still looking for a news anchor?

#3  Not suprising at all. They should kick her down the stairs sooner rather than later. She'll land on her feet and the brain damage won't alter the end product she'll produce at some other media outlet/sewer opening.

#2  I find it hard to take serious anyone who, as a publicity stunt, airs film from her proctology exam. Penetrating reporting indeed.

I was quite aware of what kind of ass she is/was anyway.

#1  There's something exceedingly pathetic about Couric's precipitous slide from cutesy cheerleader to the bitch from Hell.

Okay, that's as close as I'll get to caring. Ax her ass. Give us another smarmy uber-sincere fake to not watch. Pay her a ton. Who cares? No one. No one at all, NBC.
