Couric to anchor CBS news; so much for the 'perky' label...

Just out of pure curiosity, I have no problem with her at all, but can anybody tell me what makes her special or different from any number of other tv personalities? Of all kinds of celebrity, news anchoring seems the most arbitrary as to who rises to the top. Actually I think I know what it is. It's important to be widely liked and trusted in that gig, which takes time and takes an ability to fit into the current pop cultural landscape. And it's also almost entirely arbitrary as long as a certain glibness and ease in front of the camera is satisfied. At this point she's an irreplacable product simply because she's proven to be likable and she's already famous and trusted to a degree.

But I'd be interested to know if anybody would argue that she's a "genius" at what she does.
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

She did not get there just by being eye candy... journalism is a tough, tough business.
