So 30+ minutes of 60 Minutes has elapsed. Katie Couric’s 9/11 expose on the air problems took up the entire first half hour. In her attempt to be a serious journalist, as claimed in her evening news commercials, she ground an important story into repetitive drivel. But, her worse period:

“The role of the EPA is to protect people from the environment.” What? Straight from Katie’s mouth. This is a taped show — can’t they edit something so ludicrous out?

What does it take to be the best television journalist/anchor? It is so sad that we have such low standards for such influential positions… taking the lead from the highest office in the land.
