Katie Couric is such a WHORE!!!
Her performance (and that is exactly what it was) during her interview of John Kerry this morning was so Foxesque it made me want to PUKE. Not that it will matter, but I sent this email to the Today Show:

To:today@nbc.com

Subject: Katie is the greatest

Greatest WHORE for the administration, that is. Her performance as your perky infotainment mistress while interviewing Sen. John Kerry this morning was nothing short of biased and unbalanced. If you aren’t going to send her back to journalism school to teach her the importance of fairness and balance in the media, then at least do your viewers a favor by not renewing her next contract and send her to Fox News where she can whore for the administration to her heart’s content.

1. Couric = Bushwhore
I guess Anne Coulter was right about something. Couric is Eva Braun.

2. Katie isn't a journalist. She is an entertainer. Like Oprah, Rush,
Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Tyra Banks, Judge Judy, etc.

This was a journalist: Edward R. Murrow

7. Agreed - Katie is a talking head
She is not a journalist - she is essentially a talk show host.

17. The phrase you're looking for is "Television Personality"
Without the Tube, they'd be nothing.

This is becoming a daily email for me.
I'm through with it. No more Today show.
We'll all get enough of this crap in the re-education camps.

4. I CANT STAND IT ANYMORE !!!
Not only did we get her garbage, we got Russert too. I can't get my NBC channel on my downstairs TV set so I'm not tuning in to GMA. I'm going to have to stop having the morning news on altogehter. Today's performance was too much for me to bear!

Kerry did a good job. He made sense and he was strong without being abrasive.

5. Check this Katie quote from her AARP interview.
What would suit her best, Couric believes, is an opportunity to do "important journalism. I have a real appetite for smart journalism that's not being done currently. I'd like to provide some type of forum for more intelligent discussion of the issues, so it's not just one person on one side and one person on the other and a lot of screaming."



Third paragraph from the bottom:

http://www.aarpmagazine.org/people/couric.html



Um Katie, I don't think "important journalism" would work for you.

6. Couric needs a new gimmick to replace
the death of her husband, whose early demise propelled her into super stardom.

"Poor Katie, so young, so perky, so brave."

Her shtick has become boring, she's getting old, and her perkiness is increasingly forced. Time to move on.

8. There have also been several years of stories...
in the local press about her boyfriends (she appears to be serially monogamous). A few widow's weeds are removed each time.

14. Can't we keep the criticism to her abysmal reporting/interviewing?
There are few things I find more insulting/silly than armchair psychological analysis of celebrities.

her husband's death into a gimmick. Poor, brave, perky Katie.

10. They probably love the email. That shows them that people are
watching and paying attention. Stop watching it would be the best move.

15. I loved how John Kerry just laughed at her at the end when she thanked him
I like this new strategy...where the Democrats laugh at their tormentors. Last night when Bush mentioned the Social Security reform was great. Katie looked taken aback when Kerry just laughed at her attempt to nice it up at the end of the interview, like, "Whatever." I cracked up.

22. Whore is a perfectly accurate description of Katie...
And my American Heritage dictionary says so:

PRONUNCIATION:hôr, hr
NOUN: 1. A prostitute. 2. A person considered sexually promiscuous. 3. A person considered as having compromised principles for personal gain.

25. It doesn't matter
As soon as the reader hits "WHORE" in your email, they're hitting the Delete button.

I understand your feelings, but you aren't going to get your point across expressing yourself in that manner.

18. On NPR (Neocon Public Relations) yesterday, Steve Inskeep interrupted Dean
repeatedly throughout the interview, and he has never interrupted anyone in any interview before. He could not take a baby's bottle, but he attacked the DNC chair without abandon.

28. Did you notice the caption on the interview?
It said, "Dothe Democrats Have a Plan?"

That is the Republican meme these days. If you can't defend your own plan attack the other guy.

The Dems need a comprehensive plan for America that they publish so the media can not ignore it.

32. Her demeanor says everthing.
She was not comfortable with having to interview Kerry.
I've noticed that the demeanor of several media types changes when they interview Democrats.
This happens on FoxMSGOPCNNNBC. In fairness, CBS and ABC don't do this.

36. I sent an e-mail to NBC about Katie last week
It was about her telling Howard Dean that Dems did recieve money from Abramoff. I told them I was done with NBC and the Today Show. (For all the good that did.)

37. Did she ever retract her Abramoff statements she made to Howard Dean?
She promised that she'd check to validate Dean's negative responses to her assertions that Democrats took money from Jack'moff's machine too. Has she ever followed through on that? Not that I'm expecting her to, mind you! But if someone can document that she hasn't, that's one more thing to hang her with whenever someone does decide to take her objectivity (or lack of it) on at some point.

43. My email to the Today show

Subject:I WILL NEVER WATCH ANY PROGRAMMING ON NBC!!! EVER AGAIN! UNTIL THE DAY I DIE!!!!

Katie Courics performance this morning interviewing John Kerry is an outrage!!! I din't even watch it, but I read about in the blogosphere. This by the way is where I am geting my daily news because the mainstream media and NBC news in particular is horrible. I will be informing my freinds and my family and anybody who will listen to me to never watch NBC ever again. I am also contacting your advertisers. You people truly suck. Katie Couric is a no talent bitch.

44. I don't think it's fair to complain without having seen it, but at least
you are honest about it.

I don't know one Bushbot making noise about Brokeback Mountain, that evil celebration of gay sex, who have seen it.
