Those feminine wiles have served her well. How potent will it be as she enters her 60s. Hey Katie, a cougar is not just an animal in the jungle.

The Katie look/sound-alike is uncannily good, just like a “younger” Katie! Wow!

Um, can I adopt Diana Sawyer? Always did like her. Or, how about Julie Chen? Marisole? Oh, wait. She’s a weather girl. No matter! It’s the compassion, right? Right?

Just trying to be helpful…!

Thanks, that was great. I enjoyed the Dan Rather impersonation, too. Even tho Katie’s politics are backwards, she’s still hot.
Sorry; I’m just a sucker for a pretty girl.

I see.

Kinda like putting endangered animal species in ZOOs for their preservation.

So, first we have to go into the media “wild” and capture the old MSM. Nets, traps, tranquilizer darts, whatever. Then after tagging and chipping, we ship them to the “reservation.” Since the reservation will have newsroom and studio mockups, when they wake up, they’ll feel that they’re right back on the job.

In the meantime, the zoo visitors can watch them primp in “makeup” and work before the non-working cameras, with an AI pretending to be the director in the control room.

I like it.

People have to WANT to change… I doubt most of the old media folks are into that. Even O’Reilly’s casual dismissals of the internet’s importance bugs me a little. I guess I could make an exception for some of those who come even close to the loveliness and logic of MM, MKH, Bethany etc… Maybe.

I’ll be happy to adopt Julie Banderas.

Darn, and I thought you wanted to adopt me :(

First. I don’t get it.

Think real hard, Jailbones. You can do it!

It’s Too Late For Dan, Tom And Peter, But……

One man is doing his part to Save Old Media–one anchorperson at a time. With Atlas being mugged every day by barbarians at the blogs, this man has the patience of a saint, slowly introducing new technologies to liberal luddite……

Give Katie a break, after all Dan did leave some pretty big documents to fill.

With each passing day, the old media becomes less and less relevant.

Digitally challenged. I’ll bet some of them don’t even have iPhones.

Let ‘em die with dignity.

RedWinged Blackbird on November 18, 2007 at 6:39 PM

Too late. All that’s left is the “die” part. I’m happy to help with that.

(Metaphorically speaking.)

Wow. Now that is pure altruism.

Won’t you help by adopting an old media maven and helping them make the transition to the new media?

I’m adopting Jane Pauley.

And can we cut with the “first”, “second” crap?

It’s a joke, and evidently more subtle than I thought. ;)

Second! Is this a spoof? Or a joke?
