Katie Couric Likely Leaving CBS News; Scott Pelley a Leading Replacement - The Daily Beast

Quote:
One strong contender if Couric vacates the anchor chair in early June, as now seems almost certain, is veteran newsman Scott Pelley. The 60 Minutes correspondent has long been a favorite of Fager, who doubles as the show’s executive producer. But with Fager taking a methodical approach to his first major decision, Pelley is not a lock. A few short weeks ago, the expectation in the Couric camp—after discussions with top CBS management—was that she would sign a new deal to stay in the anchor’s job through the 2012 elections as she figured out the next phase of her career. But the thinking on both sides has now changed as Couric has aggressively tested the waters—and found substantial interest in her services.

A morning lightweight unqualified to wear the "big boy pants".

LMAO! Katie Couric is the liberal media queen? She's got to be the biggest creampuff in the history of journalism.

Katie Couric is a perfect example of The Peter Principle in action.

She was great with her squeaky voice for early morning fluff and mixing it up with celebs and Matt and Al. She's basically a non-enity in hard news.

No doubt, Couric took Palin and Beck to school by just asking the most basic of questions.

Apparently asking Vice-Presidential candidates questions related to economic and foreign policy makes you liberal... what a world we live in.

No doubt she's a lightweight.

And she revealed Palin to be a mental featherweight.

Don't worry about her.

She has one of those "golden parachutes" the lib/progressives are always railing against.
