David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place. Katie Couric blames the media
Hey, Katie Couric’s starting to rethink that whole anchoring-the-“CBS Evening News” thing.
“I'm human,” she revealed to New York magazine. “I'm not going around, ‘Dee-da dee-da dee.’” Well, so far so good – humans, in fact, don’t do that sort of thing.
She added, “I have days when I'm like, ‘Oh my God, what did I do?’ But for some weird reason, they don't happen that often.” If she’s actually admitting that much, one can just imagine what’s actually going on inside her head.
“I’ve gone through a bit of a feeding frenzy and there’s blood in the water and I’ve got some vulnerabilities,” she says of her media coverage. “This person who’s been successful isn’t so great, and finally she’s been put in her place—that kind of mentality. I think it’s fairly primal.” Great – now even members of the media go to the blame-the-media card.
Couric said had she foreseen the scrambling to find a workable format for the newscast, her current gig “would have been less appealing to me. It would have required a lot more thought.” A lot more thought would’ve been a good idea in any case.
