Shieffer Wants Couric as CBS Anchor

From Newsmax via Right Nation, Bob Shieffer wants Katie Couric as his replacement at the CBS Evening News. Schieffer has been the interim replacemet for Dan Rather since his retirement on the heels of the "Memogate" pre-election news scandal of last year.

Couric is "a big-time journalist. I’m hoping we can get her,” Schieffer told the Philadelphia Inquirer.

"She’s a great interviewer, people know who she is, and she has enormous credibility. People believe her. They take her seriously. She would make us a better news department.”

If she helps CBS to provide a better news department it speaks more for how horrible a news department they currently have than it does about any lofty goals they have for their own network's news.

Couric is a flag waving leftist that has made no bones about her liberal leanings and liberal bias. This is no improvement over the past at CBS, but just another verse to the same tired song.
