The Right hates Katie Couric

[bluestateguy]

I'd say they rank her right up there with Dan Rather. I'm puzzled by some of the posts here that call her a right wing whore. Myself, I think she is more of the vapid sorority girl type: attractive without a of substance, which will fit with the corporate media very well. i don't take her seriously. I've actually been pleasantly surprised by Brian Williams over at NBC.

1. You have obviously not seen her try to go for the jugular of any

administration critic. It's sad really as she becomes very ugly when she does.

[tsuki]

2. I refer to her as the 14 million dollar bionic eyeliner. nt

[CalebHayes]

3. I don't like her either

[atomic-fly]

23. she is looking a little Tami Fay nt

6. Was that necessary?

I don't care for her, but that was pretty gross.

5. They hate ALL media. It's part of their dishonest game plan

badger the media to move to the right.

An analogy: If someone tells someone enough times they smell, and they lack the confidence to realize it's not true (trust their own judgement) then they'll eventually end up taking two showers a day.
That's the rightwing tactic with the media. Accuse it of being Liberal until it shifts from the center to the right.

7. Katie and Matt Lauer whore it up every fucking morning.

Those two vapid pieces of shit ham ball it up every segment or interview until they come up against anyone who isn't carrying water for the GOP, then the claws come out. The talking points come out fast and furious until they have effectively filibustered the wayward guest.

That mother fucker Lauer was inches away from trotting out "The United States is a Christian Nation" today. If the person he was interviewing wouldn't have digressed I know he would have said it.

8. she always looks to me

like her lipstick is smeared or on crooked. She sure isn't Dem friendly.

[tularetom]

9. Well I guess I can agree with even them

I hate her also. Well not hat but strong dislike. I don't think she is a wing nut. I don't think she is political at all but I do think she has been brainwashed (or spinal chord washed in her case) to parrot the rw talkin points and when you think about it what choice does she have at NBC?

10. You must not watch the "Today" show much lately.

Good for you. An example is the way she kept insisting that Democrats were just as bad as repukes with the Abramoff money.

[ismnotwasm]

11. Unwatchable to me

Both her and Lauer have NOT been Dem friendly, but that aside, she's pretty insipid.

The right hates by temperament and tradition. Blindly, they turn their hate toward whatever target talk radio, or mass media tells them too. Must be Couric this week.

[tabasco]

19. Next week hate week will be back to Iran.

People who don't even know where Iran is on the map will be saying "we have to do something about Iran!!" mouthing the corporate propaganda points.


Couric is one of the shills who will say whatever they tell her to say on the telescreen. Zero morality and will whore both sides of the fence. Craven. NBC went into full corporate whore mode and Couric went right along with it, becoming a more civil version of Ann Coulter.

12. Attractive?!

Her face reminds me of a "face" kids made when I was young (maybe they still do):

Place your thumbs on the corners of your mouth & pull upward, while placing your index fingers on the outer corners of your eyes & pulling downward. That's Katie Couric's face.

I used to watch the Today Show religiously -- it was on every morning as I was growing up -- & I can tell you that she is very supportive of Republicans.

Don't let her move to CBS fool you. I suspect that, being a single parent with 2 daughters, she's looking for better hours than having to wake up at 3 in the morning.

Will her rightwing favoritism affect CBS? I don't know. I'll have to wait for canofun or crooks&liars videos to find out. I'm not watching CBS News anymore.

[philosophie_en_rose]

13. I've personally seen her trash liberals and fawn over repukes.

:shrug:

14. So does the left...Poor phony, money hungry, clueless Katie! Maybe

the stupid moderates want her, they can have her, and her republican squeeze.

[zulchzulu]

15. Why? Her cutting stories of puppies and kitty cats may them freaky?

Couric goes right up there with journalists like...Deborah Norville and Paula Zahn. Campbell Brown hits harder than Couric anyday...and that indeed is pitiful.

[DELUSIONAL]

16. She is an air head twit . . . .

back when I was watching the evil tv -- I well remember her bitching during the 2000 about Gore just wanting to keep redoing the count until he won.

For that remark alone she gets the BITCH award. No make that a double double bitch bitch award. I hate that sub humanoid wind bag.

[Berry Cool]

17. Did you guys know she's dating

the Republican contributor who broke off his engagement to Laura Ingraham last year after she was diagnosed with breast cancer?

So they say...

Yet another reason to love the gal...:scared:

[Puglover]

18. Anyone see Lauers interview with Michael Schaivo?

Schaivo came across as sincere and thoughtful. Lauer was doing his level best to portray him as selfserving with such zingers as:

"C'mon, could'nt you have let him (Terry Schaivos brother) into the room one last time?"

"Boy thinking back to when I was 21 I can't imagine making a statement like that."
(Referring to Terry telling Michael that she never wanted to be kept alive on life support.)

I truly hate these corporate whores who have invented infotainment.

22. I saw it...

I thought he was playing devil's advocate and did an okay job, plus it seemed like NBC did some select editing.

[KitchenWitch]

20. You know, I liked her until shortly after 9/11/01

I am not so sure that she changed as much as I changed.

[cynatnite]

21. I don't know about vapid...

but she isn't one I take seriously as a journalist by any stretch of the imagination. That's why I don't mind her at all on the Today show.

But, giving her an anchor seat at CBS news shows how desperate CBS is for ratings. They need to put a high quality journalist.

I think this move will fail.

24. Here's what I think of her:
