CBS News Contact info ....
Not unless I was missing something Couric never touched the
story that Val Plame was working to keep WMDs from Iran and she
tried to "sand bag" Plame / Wilson on more than one occasion.

ADDRESS:
CBS Evening News
524 West 57th St.
New York, NY 10019

E-MAIL: evening@cbsnews.com

PHONE: (212) 975-3247

The biggest story going; That Dick Cheney outed Plame so as to "get his war on"
was not touched tonight but Couric managed to get out an, "are you too partisan?"
shot at Plame.

All f***ing day I was looking forward to seeing bush & Cheney's crimes brought
out into the open but all Couric did was to rehash information that was already
out in public.

3. You mean Gidget did another lousy job?
I love how we've been reduced to having Miss Perky of 1990 "doing the news" now.

News is NOT perky. Especially during the last ten years or so. And it doesn't make things more palatable to have them delivered by perky.

She could do very well on "The View," or maybe Ellen Degeneres's show, or some such thing, but GEEZ... the CBS Evening News. So bad it's been "Gidget-ized." Sigh...

14. No offense made against the Gidget from TV. I grew up watching that show
and wishing I were her.

It's just that I want a little more than perky from my news anchors, both male and female.

7. Recommend.
And I also request that "Gidget" not be used as a pejorative for Couric. She lacks the sincere integrity to merit a nickname some of us lovingly apply to Ms. Monica Novotny of MSNBC, who is not the philistine that Couric is.

8. My e-mail to the network
"The show failed miserably in presenting an unbiased view of what transpired in the case of Valerie Plame. You are enabling the demise of democracy. Congratulations. I am disgusted by what you present as "news", and by the light in which Couric frames the story. We -- the populace -- are not as gullible as your analysts might surmise. Your stock as a reputable organization has been further diminished."

10. Nice job
Eric Sevareid, Walter Conkite, Ed Murrow, and now Couric.

I wish Joe Wilson had slapped her.

11. He did, verbally anyway.
"Their wives didn't work for the CIA."

"How do you know?

Well, uh, uh, uh.

"Exactly. Their families weren't attacked. Mine was."

SLAP!!!

Way to go, Joe.

12. I bet a fair amount of that ended up on the cutting room floor.
Joe Wilson in 1991 as acting ambassador to Iraq told Saddam Hussien
that if you want to kill any Americans that your are holding hosatage,
"Start with me."

Hussien let them go the next day.

The BFEE picked the wrong couple to mess with.

15. Bad move by CBS
You know, if they had just aired the Iran segment, they would have been fine.

Now, they've unleashed a storm of criticism. They're going to be overwhelmed tomorrow.
