CNN’s Cooper to Replace Couric?

Posted on | March 1, 2010 | 13 Comments

There are rumors and denials that CBS is trying to recruit CNN’s Anderson Cooper as a replacement for Katie Couric, who’s been stuck in the Nielsen ratings basement almost from the moment of her “Evening News” debut.

A Cooper-for-Couric switch would not significantly alter the traditional liberal slant at CBS. However, the utter flop of Couric as anchor is a thumb in the eye of feminism, so at least we have that to celebrate.

Not that Anderson Cooper is the personification of manliness or anything. If manliness is what CBS wants, they should try Rachel Maddow.

    I’ve got no use for Anderson’s politics, but I give him credit for helping that kid in Haiti.

    I’m still waiting for Fox to start their network news program on their main network with Megyn Kelly.

    Then we’ll see who will win in the ratings.

    I know Anderson Cooper. He is a good guy, even if you don’t agree with him politically.

    Yeah, he is a guy who likes to go shopping, enjoys Project Runway, and just being a pal to the girls.

    Oh yeah, he giggles when he calls conservatives “teabaggers.” It is an inside joke.
