1. Shiiiiiiiit! That almost makes me forgive her for yammering over Bruce doing a solo acoustic
version of For You on the Today show. Almost.

3. Wow. Couric dipped her toes in the waters of real controversy in this country.
Good for her. Maybe there is promise for some reporting out of Couric that rises to the level of a Walter Cronkite or a Edward R. Morrow.

5. Waaaaaaaaaaay too little too late

Sorry, I don't give her or any of her cohorts a pass. They cover non stop all day the idiocrac minority at these town halls, ignore the majority who actually want the facts, and then mumble a couple of lines at the end of the day, out of guilt no doubt, of clarity, just to cover their ass.

If there is no public option at the end of all this, you can blame not only the GOP, Hate Radio, but also the MSM and their utter failure to present the facts of how Single Payer is the cheapest, universal plan, and to expose the Senators and Congressperson's ties to Big Pharma and Big Insurance.

11. I disagree....
I've been watching Couric since she took over. In the beginning, she tried to play by the right-wing rulebook and watched her ratings sink like the Titanic. At some point, she tossed out the koolaid. Her interviews with Palin were total game-changers because of the stupidity they exposed. Couric deserves some slack just for that effort.

6. Hopefully we'll hear more commentaries like this
on network news, but I'm not holding my breath.

7. This is how the media should report on
every event where Republicans are involved. "And speaking of ignorance..." This is WILLFUL ignorance, freshly stamped with the Fox News Seal of Approval.

12. It's about time! Katie was so diplomatic with Sarah P, so demure, but
now she's starting to get it!

Maybe she can do more, she's not dead yet.

How about she fire the news writers who feed her pap, and fluff, and do real news about real Americans, racists and the rest of us who suffer with the results of Faux fire flamers and diddle brains.
