From JOSSIP — Fact, Katie Couric is completely speechless at the end of this segment. Which segment? Find out, after the jump!
‘Fast Draw’ Hopefully Created On Etch-A-Sketch
Remember “freeSpeech,” the CBS Evening News’ attempt at doing something unconventional and allowing mostly already-famous loudmouths voice their opinion just shy of 7pm EST? Like Katie Couric’s reputation and ratings, it sank.
Why, then, would exec producer Rick Kaplan greenlight “Fast Draw”?
The new hopefully-not-recurring segment, which aired on Feb. 8 and drew attention after the Times flagged it, is something we’re filing under We Cannot Take This Seriously.
It features ABC veterans and newly hired CBS jawlines Mitch Butler and Josh Landis, artists who use Sharpies and cartoon sound effects to explain how the primaries, supposedly rooted in democracy, are actually controlled in the shadows, by delegates and superdelegates.
Kudos to CBS for actually breaking down a news story that keeps Chris Matthews up at night; many Americans still don’t understand what their level pull, inside a middle school auditorium, actually does.
But this segment, appearing here on YouTube, belongs only on YouTube. Not even JibJab.
