Does anyone under the age of 40 watch the evening news? I mean, seriously? My point is that cranky old white men (I am thinking of my grandfather prior to Alzheimer's here) are the most inclined to dislike a woman anchor, especially one as ebullient as Couric.
Her assignment was a last-ditch and ill-fated attempt to stop the slide of what was once a respected part of the media landscape into three-minute paranoia fests (Are your kids on drugs? Are terrorists using the interwebs to take over the Social Security Administration?) interspersed by liberal doses of Metamucil and Enzyte ads.
