Fucking Chenbot presides over more gaffs and fuckups than most any other regional newscaster I've ever seen. Yet she is a big monied (I'd guess she earns $3 to $4 MILLION per year) so-called NATIONAL newscaster?

According to the following story, CBS might revamp The Early Show, so who knows what lies ahead for the Chenbot.

Is CBS planning to revamp its morning news show? That’s the word around the water cooler at the Tiffany network, where Katie Couric’s takeover of the evening news has started tongues wagging.

The new best-case scenario would be a CBS "Early Show" with CNN’s Anderson Cooper and NBC’s Campbell Brown as cohosts. Where exactly that would leave beloved anchor Harry Smith is anyone’s guess. And the fate of Julie Chen, who is also Mrs. Les Moonves, would be up in the air, too. Moonves is unlikely to remove Chen unless he can find something better for her.

The Cooper scenario is not so unattainable, CBS insiders feel. Cooper is already starting to do reports for “60 Minutes,” and CNN has traditionally had a sharing policy with CBS. The latter network seems comfortable with the idea, since it has no cable affiliate of its own.

But the Brown idea is the more interesting one. Since she was passed over for the role of Couric’s successor at the "Today" show, Brown has made no secret of her unhappiness.

Steve Friedman of CBS may feel that getting Brown to jump ship is easy — especially after she’s had to work with Meredith Vieira, the winner of the coveted position.

CBS’ entry in the early morning market has always been troubled, and has never quite come together despite many talented producers and anchors who’ve come and gone over the years.

Lots of stars have tried and failed in efforts to woo viewers from "Today" and "Good Morning America," from Diane Sawyer to Bryant Gumbel.

Meanwhile, Couric’s second night anchoring the evening news showed a couple of things: Her news is a little more family friendly, and Katie is the chattiest national news anchor in history.

She’s obviously decided to break the “fourth wall” and talk directly to the audience. The evening news has always been done in the third person, so this should be interesting.
And a story about a young blind man seemed — not to be unsympathetic — a little banal for such a coveted spot.
