The public is divided

Tonight on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric,..Hemingway cats, in Key West, and how much the government has been spending to decide wheather or not to lock them up at night.

I'm not sure if that is even interesting to me, and I have a so called HEMINGWAY CAT. Plus they never did say how much the government has spent on this problem, but it must be in the thousands! It's like they didn't even finish the legwork on the story. And this IS a very big problem. There are around 40 cats we are talking about. Imagine, there are almost 40 cats on the loose in Key West every night. Something must be done!

Who in the heck is the CBS news director?! No wonder Katie is so low in the ratings. And they ran this story just before the Hillary needs to get the women vote story.

I can just hear the meeting before the deadline,.. "Lets run with the cat story,.. There's lots of cat lovers and haters out there, the public is divided on this issue... Then follow up with the Hillary story..."

Fluff news is never any fun.

The Hillary story should have been the front story of the night. Then again, maybe CBS was afraid the political-types would get riled and accuse CBS of not giving fair coverage to all the candidates. . . .

Did you mean Fluffy news? :)

come to think of it, it was sort of one sided towards Hillary.

Oooh! Bad joke alert!

Only if there are hairballs involved!

I'd be interested in hearing your opinion on that "Hillary needs the women's vote" story.

I just couldn't resist that one! :)

As far as Hillary goes, if women vote for her because she's a woman then I think that's the wrong reason.

I thought the story wasn't really news. Interesting story in another context yes, but news it was not. I think the media is going too far with her to the point of making news.
