WHOO HOO! Insannity to host "Free Speech" on the Katie Couric Show!

[LTR]

ABC Radio Networks' syndicated talker Sean Hannity has been slated to appear within the next week as a contributor to the "Free Speech" segment of the "CBS Evening News With Katie Couric."

The nightly segment, which allows Americans from all walks of life to give their opinions about the day's news events and issues facing the country, has previously featured a number of notable figures as guest commentators, including former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani and Premiere Radio Networks talk show host Rush Limbaugh.

Gee, so how many liberals have been on that show anyway?

1. "All walks of life"

Bullshit - it's been all partisan pundits so far.
Not exactly John Q. Public...what a crock!

[SpiralHawk]

18. "o'felafel face is a demagogue, as is Anal Cyst Boy, Limbaugh

Couric, the lightweight psuedo-journalist, is just giving a bigger platform to demagogues.

Not a public service.

It is, instead, basically unAmerican and dishonorable.

CBS has lost me. Never again. Don't need not steenkin pizie propagandist "reading" the BushCo party line to me...

[FormerDittoHead]

2. I guess CBS / Couric has just given up on "shooting for the middle"...

I suppose they figure they may as well get a sub-group of dedicated freepers to watch, rather than NO ONE AT ALL...

[goclark]

3. Good ole Katie nt

[Robbien]

4. None.

they say from all walks of life, but I see the only walks of life that count are those that are on the rightwing side of the road.

16. Last night, but they quickly had to have a pro-war Iraq vet on the very

next night to offset Heuvel's anti-war talk. And it looked like she went on too long and the show cut her her off before she was finished. When Rush was on there was no immediate response the next night to counter his stupid comments.

6. Goes aways to explain her precipitous drop in the polls. . .

Worst Week of Ratings for Katie Couric

7. CBS strategy: steal viewers from Faux.

Isn't it obvious by now?

Actually I say more power to them at this point. Let em take a bite out Murdochs ass.

[wtmusic]

9. I thought Faux was a sinking ship

and they're going to chase it to the bottom? :shrug:

[Felinity]

10. Bill Maher passed on the offer

He said he had some sort of problem with their not allowing him to talk about what he wanted to talk about. Something about IRONY!

Seriously, free speech isn't free on CBS. It's more, let's see how can I say this, CONTRIVED.

How are Katie's ratings doing. Last I heard ABC was bringing up the rear again.




(edit to correct network)

15. Maher's mad he can't say F*@K on broadcast TV.

Probably not, but it would cramp his style.

[katsy]

11. 2 priority issues for the new Democratic Congress, before all else:

1. Fairness in media & limit ownership

2. Get corporations & churches out of politics - kill k street

[AX10]

12. Exactly!

[Rose Siding]

13. Has she even featured a Democrat yet?

:grr:

[BushOut06]

14. I enjoyed when they had Morgan Spurlock on

If they had more people like him on, it might be tolerable. But it does seem like they trotting out a Parade of Idiots lately.

[Bigmack]

17. Who would be comparable to ...

Han-nutty on our side? I'm trying to think of any lib/left/progressive who bullies and foams at the mouth like that lying sack of shit.

If Walter Cronkite was dead, he'd be spinning in his grave!

19. couric's ratings are dropping like a lead balloon
