Katie Couric Fills Oprah Void--Good & Bad

I have to admit I am predisposed to dislike Katie Couric's new daytime talk-show.

She is part of the liberal media elite that hasn't given conservative politics a fair shake over the years. She's part of the reason the nation is going to heck in a handbasket, in other words.



Couric's entry into the field, simply titled 'Katie', deserves kudos though for getting some of the best and most timely guests around.

'Katie', for instance, was the first to interview beleaguered ex-Notre Dame linebacker Mantei Te'o and Sue Paterno, wife of the famous/infamous Penn State football coach Joe Paterno.

Couric showed decent balance of toughness and "hard" questions with both guests so I have no complaints there.

I have little taste for the mushy-gushy treatment she gives some of her guests, though, particularly the Hollywood types. Her audience also goes a little too wild for her at the beginning and throughout the show.

She's just another talk show host at this point, albeit a decent one overall.
