Katie Couric should not be admired. Katie did a special on how kids should take psyche drugs. Now, there are over 300,000 babies that will never have a life because of the drugs. Katie contributed to 300,000 deaths and that is only the beginning. Katie put money before integerity! I truly hope her bad karma hits her bad!
If Katie Couric becomes a part of The View, then I am out. Come on, ABC, you can do better than that.
People, they said she was guest hosting for one day. She is going to have her own talk show next year.
