Reply #39: I was thinking about that, too

The Today Show used to handle serious national issues. It made people think. Is it ever pathetic these days. It's such fluff.

I quit watching when they introduced the screamers outside on the sidewalks. I can't stand to hear that kind of noise in the mornings.

Occasionally I will tune in at 7 a.m. for the news and because they don't go to commercial for the first 17 minutes or so. Usually it's a disappointment.

Boy, don't try tuning in at 8 for anything similar. At that point you're lucky to even get a minute or two of news.

Katie Couric has, on occasion, expressed sympathetic views to the left side of the spectrum. I don't dislike her although my husband thinks she's not too smart.

She lacks the gravitas required for a news anchor.
