CBS pretty much confirms that they're standing firmly in the news as entertainment camp with the hire of Couric. To think, there are still people in America who get their news from the national evening news.
I make my living off the evening news Just give me something... something I can use People love it when you lose They love dirty laundry Well, I could have been an actor, but I wound up here I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear Come and whisper in my ear Give us dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em all around...
We got the bubble-headed bleach blonde Who comes on at five She can tell you 'bout the plane crash With a gleam in her eye It's interesting when people die Give us dirty laundry Can we film the operation? Is the head dead yet? You know the boys in the newsroom got a running bet Get the widow on the set We need dirty laundry
You don't really need to find out what's going on You don't really want to know just how far it's gone Just leave well enough alone Leave your dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em all around...
Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie We love to cut you down to size We love dirty laundry We can do the innuendo We can dance and sing And, when it's said and done we haven't told you a thing We all know that crap is king Give us dirty laundry
I used to see you on every T.V. Your smiling face looked back at me. I used to see you on every T.V. Your smiling face looked back at me. Then they caught you with the girl next door, People's money piled on the floor, Accusations that you try to deny, Revelations and rumors begin to fly.
Now you think about reaching out Maybe get some help from above. Now you think about reaching out Maybe get some help from above. Reporters crowd around your house. Going through your garbage like a pack of hounds, Speculating what they may find out, It don't matter now, you're all washed up.
Wootles!

I didn't even know who Meredith Viera was until I started hearing about possible replacements for Katie on Today. She looks like they could have been sisters.
I wish I could find the newspaper review from 6 months ago of Katie Couric's serious journalism capabilities. Basically, they found her to be a complete joke.
