Katie's Folly

CBS News said this week the April 4 installment of "Katie Couric's Notebook" consisted mostly of passages lifted verbatim from a Wall Street Journal column by Jeffrey Zaslow that was published in March.

On-ramp, I agree with you 100%. (Did I just say that? )

She was great on "Today". Unfortunately, most of her "hard hitting news" on CBS has been fluff pieces.

The producer gets fired, but Katie stays on? Wasn't it Katie's piece?

CBS is a load of crap!
