No accounting for some people's taste.
Did you roll over any of the states individually? Iowa - 65% for Couric. Why does Charlie Gibson do so well in Montana and Tennessee?
As for Jon Stewart - I never watch him, so don't know his appeal.
She's not a newscaster, but I like Rachel Maddow. She doesn't talk over guests, she asks intelligent questions, and she has segments that aren't interrupted every 3 seconds for commercials - thus giving guests plenty of time to answer or dig their own grave :)
Definitely a joke!
Okay, I honestly don't watch any of the national news shows, but......I remember having GMA on many years ago when Charlie Gibson was host. For some reason, he brought his dog...maybe two...out onto the set.....He forever became my favorite just because of the way he interacted with his pups!! He was gaga over them, and the feeling was mutual!!! Have to trust someone who will hug and kiss his dogs on national TV!!

I didn't take it as hatred - just sheer, unadulterated frustration. Sort of how I felt after the 2000 election and when Clarence Thomas was nominated. I knew the candidate would be a woman, however I do feel there were/are better candidates out there, Kathleen Sullivan for one. The powers that be decided it was the right time for a Hispanic. That's fine.Quote:

Obviously I do not watch national news. But I thought Jon Stewart was a commedian, not a newscaster. Oops. :o
Personally, I love Charlie Gibson.
He IS a comedian, not a newscaster, but he does a "news show" on Comedy Central - it's not meant to be taken seriously, but there's no accounting for what people will believe!

There was a segment where he sparred with Brian Williams on his "News show" and I was surprised at the number of people that actually took the show seriously. Brian has been on the show many times and it is all in fun. They like each other and put on a 'tongue in check' show, which is what "News Show" is. It is no more than a newsy SNL. Both men on their respective normal shows are reading what their writers put on the teleprompter.
Don't worry Blue - this is not a real poll. (I was formerly in the market research industry so I am familier with the process).
A real poll would have contacted a cross-section of Americans and would have had quotas for gender, age, and other demographics.
This poll is completely biased towards people who vist the time.com web site and choose to answer the question. They could have posted the poll here at Pet Talk and it would have had the same amount of validity.;)
However, the fact that this is being treated as "news", shows the sorry state of the current media. :rolleyes:
Ok, so I'm not as "out of the loop" as I thought I was. Whew!Quote:

I do like Rachel Maddow as well.
