Perky Couric???

Shame, shame, SHAME on CBS. I'm guessing that sweet, perky Katie Couric isn't quite so "perky" anymore. Why would I say that? Well, you be the judge:



The photo on the left is the official first-pic-of-Katie released by CBS back in May. The photo on the right is the EDITED (gee, really?) version of the exact same photo, taken from the September issue of Watch magazine (which is owned by..........you got it......CBS).

They've invested a lot of money in this mule and, dammit, they're gonna make sure they find every way possible to ride it to possible news ratings domination. This is irresponsible on every single level, and the folks at CBS really should think about a little something called ethics.

So what if she's getting a little dumpy...people are supposed to watch her deliver the news because of her CREDIBILITY. (Anyone at CBS remember what that means?) This isn't the Today Show anymore, and trying to present the "perky" Katie from the early-to-mid 1990's isn't going to win anybody over.

Besides, when they get that first close-up of Katie's face, you'll see more crow's feet than you ever thought you would. CBS will have to break out the filter that ABC used years ago for Cybill Shepherd in Moonlighting just to cover up all of those wrinkles. My God...
