Good Golly Miss Molly!! CBS News/Couric Is Now Officially FOX'S TWIN!!

[The Cleaner]

Okay so I was curious about Couric and quickly turned it to CBS News to see her presentation. What I saw was so much worse than I had imagined!

First of all, Couric interviewed Bush tonight. My first thought was, "Yo Katy, where's the journalism? Where's the hard-hitting questions?" I quickly learned that the purpose of the interview was not to provide journalistic insight but rather to CLARIFY BUSH'S POLICIES.

Katy would ask, "Mr. President, could you explain this," and "Mr. President, what about your position on that..." Nothing hard-hitting, just asking Bush to clarify his policies.

Later on in the show, kiss-ass Katy took her "viewers" on a tour of a super-secretive "nerve center in the war on terror" to prove how her beloved, revered Fuehrer is protecting us.

I call BS!! Big time!

This is FAR, FAR worse than I dreamed. Sad! CBS News has now become the new FOX.

:puke:

1. So we've lost CBS and ABC

If they weren't already lost.

NBC has been gone for a while.

Um... maybe it's time to get out of the country?

[Cha]

4. Maybe it's time to

start the Revolution without tv.

[Nutmegger]

2. TERRRA! TERRA! TERRRRRRRA!

Got TERRA?

[Buck Laser]

3. Be careful!

Are you taking Molly Ivins's nme in vain? A notation will be made on your permanent record.:banghead:

[indepat]

5. In other words, free commercial time to electioneer

[City Lights]

6. Ha! "Kiss-Ass Katie." I smell a new nightly signoff for her!

And that's the news, folks. I'm Kiss-Ass Katie. Good night.

[peacebird]

8. didn't she ask for our help with a signoff statement? "Kiss-Ass Katie"

:rofl:

[City Lights]

11. She sure did! eom

[mmonk]

7. The all out battle is beginning and the networks

are giving us an idea how far they'll go. An all out battle over the constitution is also brewing. The sh*t is about to hit the fan.

[KansDem]

9. I wondering if the networks, realizing they've lost the "intelligentsia"

...have decided on an all-out campaign to keep the fluff viewers. It seems that more and more true news watchers are turning to the Internet(s) for their information and commentary (or so is my experience when talking with friends or co-workers). So what's a Corporate news whore to do? Turn your once hard-hitting news network into fluff viewing in hopes of keeping your numbers up.

10. were there any flags?

any RW&B waving in the background like on Faux?

[Janice325]

12. Well, at least we still have Keith Olbermann on MSNBC's Countdown

I love the guy! (even when his producers make him do the dumb Suri Cruise stories).

[Avalux]

14. It's OK though.

I don't like the fluff either, but it does draw in viewers and then Keith slips in the good stuff. I have no doubt he's influenced many unsuspecting viewers that way. ;-)

13. I'm in political hell right now.

My in-laws lean right....they have a Michael Savage book on the book pile in the kitchen. But proclaim themselves independents who detest all political parties.

I have not been able to utter a single word (and my state had a primary on Monday!)

Needless to say, I did not tune in to Katie this evening.

The last week has been uber-depressing. Did the U.S. ever have a representative democracy? I'm beginning to think not.

[Perky]

15. Whoa,,,,way to early to be that judgemental

give her a week

[derby378]

16. Too late - Cutie Couric has overstayed her welcome

Ditch the dead weight!

[smoogatz]

17. It's new, it's improved--it's INFOTAINAGANDA!!

Watch Katie praise Our Leader's wise and just policies while licking his handsome and manly testicles!!

Cripers. The network execs are all rightly afraid they'll find little envelopes full of anthrax in their inboxes if they don't play ball.

18. bush knew he had a little bubble-head walking right there beside...

him in that setup interview...she was demure to a fault
