Default Re: Career Mess-Ups

Katie Couric is a great pick. I've wondered why she made that decision. I have only seen her on the evening news once. Didn't she sit on a desk or something? I'm pretty sure she was sitting on a desk as she talked into the camera.

Here's what disappoints me about her. She was really great on the Today Show and had a lot of respect. Next thing I know she's involved in this embarrassing situation with plagiarizing a piece from the Wall Street Journal and reading the lifted script in a video essay as if she is talking about herself. So in my mind she deserves what is happening to her. How do you pretend that a borrowed piece is about yourself? What kind of journalism is this?
