I have the flu so bad that I can barely move and it hurts to write this, but the French just made me really mad (again). Since everything hurts, I’ve been watching a great deal of French TV. Besides 10,000 reruns of “Friends” (dubbed, of course), there are a lot of news shows. I just watched one where they were talking about Katie Couric going over to CBS evening news. For me personally, this is great simply because I can’t stand Katie Couric, I love the Today show, and I never watch CBS evening news. It’s win-win for my news line up. The French story described her move and her career and then ended the story noting that this is the first time ever that a woman will be the solo anchor for the evening news in the US. Then they did this huge montage of all the solo woman anchors in France, cleverly pointing out how “behind” the US is. Again, come on France. Because you put a bunch of skirts (in low cut blouses, I might add) behind a news desk, you’re much more socially advanced than the US? Women didn’t get the right to vote here until 1945! If you ask any of our chefs point blank, four out of five of them will tell you that women (and a number of ethnic groups) can’t cook. So, sorry, Canal +, I just don’t buy it. And Katie, thanks for choosing CBS.
