#2 Plus the trip with good news does not play well with CBS's audience.

#3 She should have done the HGTV Design Star -- she couldn't be worse than the 2 finalists we're stuck with this year.

#6 The sad thing is it is probably the best work she has ever done.

#7 I agree with Glenmore. Unfortunately, her reputation as a non-biased "journalist" is so shot, it doesn't make a damn bit of difference.

#8 Plus the trip with good news does not play well with CBS's audience.

Imagine you're a CBS news viewer. Years of watching CBS News tell you it's a quagmire, that it's all going to hell in a handbasket, that it's 'Lost'. Years of watching Uncle Walter, Dan, Bob, and now that young lady who came over from NBC. All that comfortable stuff to reinforce your lifetime of Democrat, liberal leanings.

Now that perky young thing goes off and pulls this stunt. It's enough to make a geriatric Democrat's heart stop. Far better to watch something else less... disturbing.

#9 "It's enough to make a geriatric Democrat's heart stop."

Not enough of them, unfortunately....

#10 up til now, she's apparently combined skill with "sleeping her way" to the top. Trouble is, when you reach a national audience, and your skills haven't improved appreciably, that's a LOT of people to f*ck for ratings....
