Political Discussions

I can't stand Katie Couric or for that matter, CBS as a whole. News came out that they edited Couric's John McCain interview to make him look good and of course, they tried to make Obama look bad.

    That's awesome. I literally laughed out loud at that panel.

    I don't watch network news. Has she really been that bad?

      There's a link to the interview just above my cartoon. She asks the same question over and over when she doesn't get the answer she wants. Obama is sharp, though. The third time she asked him about the surge, he answered, "for the third time..."

      She did that in her John Edwards interview when he was still in the running, asking about how the public would be concerned that he wouldn't be able to focus on his presidency when his wife had cancer. I think she asked him that about 10 times.

    Okay, I had to blog about this topic after all. Not about Couric, who probably thinks she was doing good journalism, but about the whole false premise of the surge issue:

    By the way satijournal, I could really see your point when I watched that interview more closely. She could not let it go, and even got a weird look on her face, like, how on earth could you think that Senator? And I hate to try again, but . . . Ugh.

    Oh, he schooled her in this interview

    Dear God, she really should have quit while she was ahead.

    Meaning, she should have stayed on in the infotainment segments of CBS

    Here's reputable news of a reputable study that reveals the media being tougher on Obama than McCain lately: www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-onthemedia27-2008jul27,0,712999.story

      Thanks much. I'm holding onto that one.

    The "liberal media" has always been a brilliant myth created by the media which is, of course, as conservative as the big corporations that own it.
