Couric To CBS: “She’ll Probably Read The Teleprompter The Same Way The Others Did,” Bill Maher Says

By Brian 

Bill Maher, in a Time Q&A:

 Where do you get your news?

I’m not a cable person. I do watch the nightly news, but I switch back and forth ’cause I can’t stand commercials for Gas-X.

Will you watch Katie Couric?

I think she’ll probably read the teleprompter the same way the others did. The evening news really only has one news segment now. I heard Elizabeth Vargas say the other night, ‘Is the U.S. planning a nuclear attack on Iran with nuclear weapons? We’ll take a closer look.’ Usually it’s ‘Is there a better way to lower your cholesterol?’ These people used to complain that they only had 30 minutes. But obviously they don’t really want to fill more than seven.
