Kind of offended that Katie Couric was replaced with a man

[fried eggs]

On CBS News. It's as if they are returning to the sexist formula of decades past. I won't be tuning in.

[Auntie Bush]

1. Who is replacing Couric?

Got a pictues?

[femmocrat]

9. Scott Pelley from "60 Minutes".

Sorry, can't post a photo, but I'm sure you would recognize him.

2. i'm offended that your offended....sexist formula???? bwahahahahahahaa

[Logical]

3. Not sure I agree with you. Maybe they want to try a man to check ratings impact. n-t

[Cid_B]

4. Then you'll be like the rest of America....

... when Couric was in.

It would be hard to go down.

Evening news is on the decline in any case. I can't think of a female replacement that would have that "Wow, I'm gonna watch now" factor.

[tekisui]

5. So, since CBS bucked the trend by going with Couric they should be

forever bound to replacing her with only a woman?

8. Every since they Fucked Over Dan Rather

I have not watched ANY of their news

11. Meh...

He still claims those NG documents are good to go...

"Nobody has proved that they were fraudulent, much less a forgery."

10. Don't forget other qualities..

Woman...

Left Handed Woman

Ginger left handed woman

Ginger left handed woman of Eskimo heritage (very rare)

6. Don't fret...you've still got Diane Sawyer, who is as equally annoying as Couric.

Stick with Rachel Maddow and Amy Goodman and be done with it.

[Pab Sungenis]

14. I would love to see Rachel guest host "Nightly News"

or "Today." Too bad it will never happen.

[spin]

7. I think CBS News should hire the best anchor available ...

man or woman.

[MadBadger]

12. Unrec

So because they chose a man, they are sexist. I really dont get that thinking at all.

[obxhead]

20. I do.

It's sexist thinking. ;)

[unkachuck]

13. "I won't be tuning in."

....I wouldn't be 'tuning in' to any MSM propaganda, you might catch something....

....but please, don't be offended that katie was replaced by a man, be happy and satisfied she was replaced....when it comes to corporate shills, they're all testiclely challenged....

15. Is this a legacy anchor seat now?

[gloria jeanne]

16. Katie and CBS

I never watch mainstream news or television anymore . I prefer other sources , not just one sided controlled media . Sorry to see Katie being replaced by a man too . I watched her the first time she was on T.V. some years ago .

[femmocrat]

17. Welcome to DU, gloria jeanne!

I like Katie too.... I watched her evening news show every now and then. Not sure if I will watch it now.

[Bluebear]

25. welcome to DU!

18. So, you're saying the only was not to be sexist is to be sexist?

Picking a anchor who's male is automatically a sexist choice?

And picking an anchor specifically because she's female is NOT a sexist choice?

Glad we cleared that up.

Unrec'd.

19. Were you offended when Dan Rather was replaced with a woman?

:shrug:

[RZM]

21. Who cares, really? n/t

[hughee99]

22. You won't tune in because just because they're replacing her with a man?

[lunatica]

23. Why would anyone watch cutesy Couric?

She did one good thing and that was by accident. How was she supposed to know that asking someone what they read is a 'gotcha' question? It was a total accident.

[Blue-Jay]

26. Best? He's a stupid MAN!
