Katie Couric/CBS Negotiation -- DEAD!5/4/2011 3:24 PM PDT by TMZ Staff Katie Couric's negotiations with CBS to stay at the network to do a syndicated talk show are officially dead -- not gonna happen ... this according to plugged-in sources at CBS.0504_katie_couric_cbs_exOur sources say the breakdown occurred because CBS was unwilling to give Katie substantial involvement in the network's news operation. We're told CBS honchos were willing to give Katie pieces for "60 Minutes," but nothing more -- and Katie wasn't having it.As a result, Katie will make a clean break from CBS and will not be doing a syndicated show for the network.We're told ABC is now the likely future home for K.C.Source: You are not allowed to view links.

Katie Sources: CBS is LYING about her!!!5/5/2011 10:20 AM PDT by TMZ Staff Sources connected with Katie Couric tell TMZ ... CBS is lying about its failed negotiations with K.C. just to save face, because Katie has left the network in the dust.Katie CouricTMZ broke the story ... network sources are saying negotiations to keep Katie around broke down because the news division wanted to give her a very limited role -- occasional pieces on "60 Minutes," and Katie felt dissed.But sources from Katie's camp say it's BS. They say CBS wanted to keep Katie and offered her all sorts of news involvement, including 8 to 10 pieces a year on "60 Minutes" (the show even offered her a production team), an unlimited number of pieces on "CBS Sunday Morning," another Grammy special and other specials as well. One source says, "They were kissing her ass, but now that it looks like Katie is leaving, they're trying to kick her ass to protect their own asses."And Katie sources say ... the real issue for Katie is a syndicated talk show, and it's looking like ABC is just a better fit.As we first reported, Katie You are not allowed to view links.

She'll also get some extra pocket cash for her news duties. The ABC deal isn't final, but it's almost there.Source: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
Oh great theory! I'll go one further and say TS has been urging us to, in a sense, play defense for Murray with this Thread Starter series and graduation of levels as of late. He said we should stay mindful that our goal is proof that could stand up in court and convince non-believers.Really makes you think, doesn't it?

He wanted us to go back to the beginning and find strong evidence for our theories. He was always talking about evidences, but for the past 2 months especially. Plus he wanted US to find the evidence, not seat and wait until he will give HIS own evidence. I was scared by it since the first level. errrr L.O.V.E
So the article with the word DEAD written all over it is then said to be a LIE the very next day. Could this be a metaphor to this adventure?
Hello everyone, I wanted to share my thoughts on what has been going on recently and how they could fit together and make sense. There is a common thread running through all these main events which I will explain.-Firstly we had the trial being delayed which was frustrating to say the least.-We then had Jermaines anti-hoax tweets on the 4th May which was a response to pressure from people urging him get this site shut down because there are thousands of people involved now and they need to be stopped. (that makes us sound like a very strong bunch, an army maybe!)and this on the day that jury selection was meant to take place.-Pearl jnr then asks Jermaine to answer questions and asks for an interview, not just denial. This is a major development as this has been a no go zone since day one.-TMZ then have an article about Katherine saying Michael was no child molester, with poll. (reminder of '93 trial, MJ innocence and wanting to fight and prove innocence).-Pearl jnr has now put a video out which is an open letter to MJ fans which lays it out for fans in general to see some of the things that don't add up. -The latest one is TMZ with 'People v Murray where he gives his main arguments on both sides. This has a poll too. Opinions are needed/get you thinking.The one thing that sticks out to me is they are all connected to the word 'Trial'. This all feels like a trial. Opening statements, arguments, voting, . The trial was delayed due to new witnesses and then the hoax was given major publicity directly from Jermaine. If this is what is happening then we as an army of beLIEvers are a part of this trial with all our evidence and investigations and the result of Jermaines tweets were that this site got massive attention. People have been directed towards the idea of a hoax, even if through denial, which plants the seed. You may think this is a crazy idea but this is what it feels like, that the trial did start on 4th May as planned but it just changed to believers v non-believers, is Michael alive or dead? No evidence to prove that he died so it should be pretty obvious he is alive so hopefully many more people will see now. I can't wait to see what the next 'piece' will be.
