That's How Bingley and I Work, Too

A CBS News producer was fired and the network apologized after a Katie Couric video essay on libraries was found to be plagiarized from The Wall Street Journal.

...The essays are carried regularly on “Couric & Co.,” the anchor’s blog on the CBS News Web site. Couric and producers meet once a week to decide on topics and the producers write them for Couric to read on camera.


I'm the socially inept heavy lifter slogging behind the scenes, while he's he's the big money, debonair "personality". I've learned to deal with it. Therapy helps. But we do actually try to WRITE most of our stuff, which leads to the next embarrassing question. How can it be her 'blog' if some pinhead...

Never mind. I just hope some granny in Poughkeepsie who just got 'the internet' and thinks Katie agonizes over her blog entries ~ writing from the heart once a week ~ never sees this. It's too cruel.

I always thought Bingley was your food taster, Sis. At least back when you were young'uns growing up together. Got that backwards, did I?

As for Katie, anyone who thinks she's something special probably voted for John Kerry. Which, unfortunately, describes a little under half the country.......

The MSM sill has no idea what a blog is, do they?

They 'blog' like Tiger Woods drives a Buick.
