Wanted: Evening News Anchor

news, television, news anchor, tv, evening news, cbs, katie couric cbs news anchor katie couric After two brutal years of Katie Couric\'s perkiness, CBS seeks seasoned journo with gravitas, grit, and a loyal following. Who should fill the chair? A few suggestions:

Wanted: Evening News Anchor

\r\nGOING FOR HER: Lady-who-lunches style belies killer instinct honed at CBS\'s fabled news division. Has interviewed heavyweights like Boris Yeltsin, Yasser Arafat, and Antonin Scalia.
GOING AGAINST HER: Was passed over for Katie in \'06, and reportedly responded to the slight by trashing her all over town. \r\n

Wanted: Evening News Anchor

GOING FOR HER: Played the dignified sidekick to Couric\'s toothy antics on Today; has covered breaking news in Baghdad, Rwanda, and Darfur.
GOING AGAINST HER: Would her loveliness distract viewers from the news she\'s delivering? Because she is so, so lovely.

\r\nGOING FOR HER: Scary-smart, and has more stateside viewers than higher-profile Yank anchors Chris Matthews and Wolf Blitzer.
GOING AGAINST HER: The snooty English accent and a name that sounds like that of a talking doll our mother played with when she was 6. \r\n

Wanted: Evening News Anchor

Gwen Ifill, Newscaster, Anchorwoman gwen ifill Gwen Ifill, moderator, PBS\'s Washington Week
\r\nGOING FOR HER: Reportedly called \"the cleaning lady\" by charming Don Imus, she\'s a no-nonsense Beltway vet best known for her blunt crossfires.
\r\nGOING AGAINST HER: Passed on a gig with NBC, in part because PBS allows longer, more in-depth pieces. The CBS Evening News has time for about 10 minutes of reporting, with the remaining 20 devoted to Cialis ads.
