I can think of 75 women I would watch on the news before Katie Couric, starting with Camille Paglia, who is not a news anchor, but why shouldn't she be? She wouldn't work out until she slowed her rate of speech WAY down, though. Next in line would be our local news person, Julie Nelson, followed by Bobbie Battista, Meredith Viera, and the greatest news anchor of all time, Alicia Richards. Just to name a few. (I know that Brian Williams is the other news anchor of the three but who's the third? I just think people get their news from the internets now-a-days.)
I'm with you, sadly. no one wants to see katie couric do hard news. she'd have been better off with an oprah-esque show. give me christiane amanpour at night, I say :D they should have a 24-hour christiane amanpour channel. I'd watch it all the damn time.
