The Media Market

Katie Couric runs NBC's Today Show with a firm grip. A personal cult has been created around her and anything but pleasant gossip is now being spread about the terror she brings to those who don't obey. (leak from Drudge)

Couric, who has been dubbed the

"Eva Braun of Liberalism" by Ann Coulter will face allegations in Monday's edition of New York Times when Alessandra Stanley brings the punches:
Couric "has grown downright scary: America's girl next door has morphed
into the mercurial diva down the hall [...] At the first sound of her peremptory
voice and clickety stiletto heels, people dart behind doors and douse the
lights. [...] Something has to be very wrong with NBC's TODAY if viewers are
turning to ABC's Diane Sawyer as a refreshingly wholesome, down-to-earth
alternative."

First Dan Rather, now Katie Couric... news show hosts might consider giving up their larger-than-life approach.
