Thoughts on Katie Couric and her interrogation/interview
Edited on Tue Mar-27-07 09:56 AM by helderheid
Is it possible she was beating herself up for not spending more time with her husband while he was living with Cancer?

1. I think it more LIKELY that she is just a Bushbot
with an inherent disdain for Democrats regardless of how similar the situation.

3. I think there must be some disconnect
And that her true love is money.

5. Some other people have thought as much
I disliked her judgemental tone, but I wondered too if the Edwards picked up on her personal hostility not towards them, but towards herself.

That aside, she did a poor job and could have made it into a top-notch interview by asking questions such as her treatment, etc.

6. Nah. I saw her interview them in 2004. She was rude and obnoxious to them
then, long before the cancer issue came to light.

7. IMO, she was trying to boost her ratings at the expense
of a treasured family.

I'm sorry but this was one "tough" and totally out of line interview by Katic, no compassion.

Recall that she has been told to be tough, well she was and see where she landed!

One would think that she, who leaves her children to have a "lonely childhood" and grow up without a father, would be far more compassionate.

Why doesn't SHE give up her job to be with them is my question to Katie. :puke:

8. my question is: if a male interviewer had asked those questions would it be as offensive?
I honestly don't know but I suspect if some guy (not a smart alec type but some older grandfatherly type) had done this interview we wouldn't be talking about the reporter.

11. It was shoddy journalism, not just her accusatory tone
relying on "some people say" is tactic that will get you an "F" in journalism 101.

12. It has nothing to do with the fact that she is female
Her interview was mean spirited and unprofessional .She is beneath contempt
