The only person on planet Earth who's still watching CBS Evening New with Katie Couric informs us that she's still "upbeat" despite no one else watching the show. She is reportedly "feeling great" and is "having a great time".
Oblivious to the fact that she's been rejected by all Americans, the former (sports) cheerleader and current Democratic Party cheerleader says:
"We kind of ignore people who are observing everything we do and praising, criticizing or analyzing it, and we're just doing what we want... [being #1] was never an expectation by anyone at CBS News, and it shouldn't have been an expectation by anyone in the outside world. Viewing habits are slow to turn around... Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will The CBS Evening News. It's a process, and being in the middle of the process, while it's sometimes challenging and can be frustrating, that's really in many ways the fun part... I'm hearing incredibly positive things from people who really appreciate the fact we're trying new things. Not everything is going to work. I knew that coming in."
She understands those who've criticized her are just "doing their jobs". Likewise, she will no doubt understand when CBS decides to pull the plug.
