Same Song, Second Verse at NBC's Today

If anyone felt last year that CBS was going to chart a more political-neutral course after the embarrassing 60-Minutes episode that ultimately led to the resignation of Dan Rather and the firing of Mary Mapes, they were clearly mistaken.

Katie Couric, named this week as being the replacement for Rather at both the Evening News and 60-Minutes, is a noted leftist with strong political leanings toward the Democrat Party.

Now it appears that NBC will replace Couric on the Today Show with another rabid, left-leaning radical Democrat supporter.

It used to be that the networks at least tried to hide their political views from the broadcast. Those days are long gone.
