Congratulations to our gallant sister, Barbara Walters for her lifetime achievement emmy. "You go girl". Now that lady has a resume! Katie Couric, you're not chopped liver either. Rachel Ray, Diane Sawyer, Campbell Brown, Ann Curry...these are some of my…

Palin talks, no one listens?

Well, this isn't going so well.

Despite the supposed $7 million advance for her forthcoming memoir, Sarah Palin seems to be striking out on the lecture circuit. According to the New York Post, though Palin signed with the Washington Speakers Bureau (an A-list service which represents speakers as varied as George Bush and Dodgers' manager Joe Torre), she just isn't getting booked.

Diane Sawyer named ABC's network news anchor, but will that make you watch nightly network news?

It wasn't the biggest news story of the week but it made the front pages of some of the major (still-standing) newspapers and news web sites: Diane Sawyer will replace Charles Gibson as anchor on "ABC World News" and become the second woman to lead a nightly network news report. Lots of the stories framed the announcement as one more fair-minded leap to put a woman in a spot traditionally reserved for a trustworthy man. See, the network is in essence saying, we know you are ready to accept a woman delivering the news of the day, and not yet another avuncular, worldly, authoritative man. How bold of us to be ready for such...a...big...change!

Isn't the bigger question: Why are network execs finally choosing women for these top prestigious jobs after the audience for them is on the decline?

Pointing the Finger: Does the Media Give Biden a Free Pass While Hanging Palin Out to Dry?

There are far too many reasons that Sarah Palin has become the scapegoat of the media during this presidential election year beginning with her inability to name any Supreme Court cases during her now infamous interview with...

Battle ground state

Missouri is a battle ground state. We're still a toss up on most electoral college maps, which means both sides are giving us some love. We had Obama under the Arch and in KC on Saturday, Mc Cain in St. Charles (near St. Louis) this coming Monday morning and Bill Clinton at...

The Katie Couric Problem

nospam@example.com ()

I used to be a loyal viewer of CBS Nightly news but I, like most other people, have abandoned CBS in favor of either NBC or ABC (they are virtually interchangeable - with equally wonderful, warm, capable newsreaders), specifically because Katie Couric is such a glaringly incongruous presence on a...
