When you specifically name someone, then it's personal.
I must admit I don't watch CBS evening news, I still think Katie Couric is a valid newscaster.

Ms. Smith on the other hand has yet to do a guest-host spot on 'Entertainment Tonight'.

I'm sure if she had the chance, she wouldn't have targeted KC.

Oh yeah, cuz the CBS evening news is child's play.

I am glad that Miss USA can see for her self that KC is nothing but a joke on CBS. She is young and got the right to voice how she feels. CBS are trying to get rid of her and I can't blame them. They paid all that money and only got another lemon!

So what did she say that's so outrageous?
The network of Edward R. Murrow and Charles Collingwood, the network that once took on Joe McCarthy at his peak, caved to right-wing pressure and fired Dan Rather for daring to blow the whistle on our chickenhawk President's war record and replaced him with with a lightweight cheesecake anchorwoman that can't win the public's respect. Couric has become a joke that's dragged the CBS Evening News' ratings to record lows. Rather has talked about the Evening News being "dumbed down and tarted up." Rachel Smith is just starting her career, and she doesn't want it to end that way; who would?
For the record, before she was Miss USA, she earned a journalism degree magna cum laude from a prestigious college and served an internship in the news department of a local TV station, so she's entitled to her opinion on the subject. She's already achieved far more than most young women her age (22), so based on her record there's a good chance when she's Couric's age she'll be taken more seriously than Couric is now.

Robert, even if she feels this way, there is a thing called decorum. I wouldn't hire her regardless of her credentials because she doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut.

Looks like Robert is the president of the Rachel Smith fan club. So, let's get this straight, she graduated top of her class at a major university, and she couldn't think of anything smart to say? I guess being 'book smart' isn't everything when it comes to common sense.
She may have ended her career before it started, but that's ok, she's just one swim suit away from another beauty pageant, and if all else fails....she can always
'dumb down' and become a contestant on 'The Bachelor'.
LOL

Ms. Smith should be made aware that women who start out as models and beauty pageant contestants rarely earn the respect of mainstream America. She's shown little tact and finesse with her statement.

What did she say that is so wrong? Couric is vapid and lightweight, everyone knows it. CBS isn't in last place because Couric is an electrifying and riveting newscaster, they're in last place because no one takes her seriously. She the Pop Tart of broadcast news, only without the Pop and without the Tart. Dan Rather was no better, as you watched out of sheer fascination to see if his dentures were going to fall out. Bottom line, none of this really matters.
