Couric Watch Knox Views is hitting it about recent comments made by Katie Couric. Couric, who says she is ready to start her job in the latest edition of USA Today, made this comment:

Viewers told her they want more perspective and "a better understanding of the ramifications of the news," she says. "I got the distinct sense they want us to go a little bit deeper" with historical background and "how is this relevant to their lives. (And) we heard from many people the news is just too depressing. Obviously, we can't sugar-coat what's going on, but there are cases where we can be more solution-oriented.

My take is easy. I don't really take Katie Couric that seriously, but that's just me. I know a lot of people like her, but I'm ambivalent.  ¶ 7/17/2006 05:13:00 PM
