#1 ..Am trying to remember where I read it (and it may have even been here) but apparently there is some quiet concern in the CBS executive suite as to what they may have gotten themselves into with Ms Couric. She has been making no secret of her fondness for Hillary Clinton and has implied that she will plug Senator Clinton's candidacy at every chance, regardless of the fact they're supposed to be neutral.

I'm guessing on a fast, spectacular blowout for the new CBS Evening News...

So CBS's take is that if we pay you millions of dollahs we don't want no fat chicks on the air..

They'll be transferring to the news department.

#5 I know this doesn't have anything to do with doctoring photos, but as long as we're on the subject of Couric:

In the heavily rotated promos for her upcoming anchor debut, Katie profers the following gem--

"I hope that when you watch the CBS Evening News, you'll not only understand WHAT happened, but WHY, and how it affects your life".

Well little miss sunshine, with all due respect, that's precisely why I WONT be watching you or any other MSM broadcast. I don't need your opinion on why, and how could you presume to know how it's going to affect me? Report the news lady. Not that I'm a big Fox News proponent, but you could learn a thing or two from their slogan-- "We REPORT. You decide."

#6 I've asked that three inches in height be added to my official CBS photo," he quipped to the News.

I can forward some of the thousnads of spam emails I get which guarantee to add inches to your -er- height Mr Dickhead.

#7 It is a common and accepted practice to clean up the photo's for featured articles in mags. This is really no big deal, unless they are news photos touched up to make a story like TU3031 talks of.

#8 This is really no big deal

Unless the entire Mainstream Media's reporting veracity and photojournalistic integrity are in question. Then it becomes symptomatic.
