4. fair or biased as a journalist?

She's not even a journalist--she's a "host." There's a difference.

6. I've never used a phony name or email address until now,

and I have NO intention of changing my style. So I VOTED, but all I got was a pageful of cheesy merchandise to order. WTF??? Those assholes at NewsMax don't believe in paper trails for the vote. I'VE BEEN DIEBOLDTED!!!

8. Katie Couric

Has'nt there been enough time wasted on this talking head already? No wonder the country's going down the drain if such a high priority and extensive coverage is given to a topic like this one.

9. newsmax.com where redneck meets redneck . . . indeed

So? What's the expectation of rednecks about Katie Couric? That she's damned if she acts feminine (too light to chair a news program), or damned if she doesn't act feminine (to bitchy to chair a news program)? Uuummmm, is there something supposed to be read into her light demeanor on a light demeanor daily "news" magazine morning show? LOL

In all sincerity, I await seeing what she can do. Let's keep on open mind, shall we? DUers will, I am sure.

10. Sorry, I've watched her for years --

every morning from the first day she began on Today until the late '90's -- & I'm familiar with her style. It's obnoxious enough that the soon-to-be 50-year-old depends on her "perky cheerleader" act to get by, but she's a media tool for the Republicans & a consistent "gotcha" interviewer of the Democrats. And she has a mutual fondness of the Bushes (I wouldn't be surprised if they helped her get that job).

The only thing that interests me is how her transition from a network that holds huge defense contracts to the network that gave us Edward R. Murrow & Walter Cronkite goes. I won't be tuning in; I'll watch the clips from canofun or crooks&liars.
