The unfortunate fate of America's first female news anchor.
  • in fairness, matt lauer would have sucked as an anchor as well...

    It wasn't because she was a woman that Katie Couric wasn't a very good news anchor. It was because she was the wrong personality for the job. She was great for the Today show, but not good for the CBS Evening News.

    Lesley Stahl and Christiane Amanpour are both female reporters for CBS, and neither lack the requisite gravitas or experience in hard news to be a good anchor.
