6. She's gotta be the dumbest 60 Minutes host I've ever seen.
Edited on Sun Oct-21-07 06:53 PM by Postman
"why are you partisan"?

to Joe Wilson ---"you're still seething"?


How does someone like this p.o.s. get a job?

8. she has a lot of 'dumb'? guys to direct her.
I dont take exception to Katie because she is a woman - she;s just a regular nothing. I take Great exception because there are soooo many more dumb guys out there doing the same schtick.

31. Yes she does have dumb guys directing because
the whole damn thing about the media is PARTISIAN and they prove it every day. With viewership falling especially news programs they have to wonder. WHY WHY WHY. Because people are damn sick and tired of the partisan crap. When you see a news program you want news, news that tells the story not GEORGE BUSH AND THE REPUBLICANS points of view.

If they would learn what the public really wants, news, and gives it to them, viewership might pick up.

35. I hear ya.
but but...
the courics (penis vagina, whatever) are just tools for us to play with in a soap opera kind of way - distractions. they have no ability contrasted to the awesome Wealth of the corporations that send that message out that War Is Good.

I'm actually feeling sorry for those so called reporter/journalists whatever. Must be a trying Time for them. Me ? Me? or not Me? It's been shoved down the throat of 'demockrascy' for a time now. Me,Me and How much of Me and My comfort do I risk?

just by words.

16. On what planet is Katie Couric being FAIR?
At the beginning of the interview, she PURPOSEFULLY DID NOT say that the CIA Director HIMSELF said VPW was COVERT when she was outed. KC said that, ACCORDING TO the Wilsons, VPW was covert.

That's a pretty big omission, if you ask me...:grr:

19. That's a good point. We all know that there is no doubt
that she was covert, but to viewers who don't know, not mentioning the proof is a big omission.

17. Okay, it's after seven.
I did not dare post, as mad as I got. I am outraged, totally fuckin pissed. Sixty minutes just cannot be a serious program with this bubble headed bimbo on there.

That woman is dumber than Adam's off ox. When she has the chance to do an interview that changes the world--and how the hell many can honestly say they've ever had a chance to spend fifteen minutes and change the world?--she turns out to be a total nobody, a useless twit to whom an interview with that nitwit in Hollywood would pose a devastating challenge.

I am so damn angry I just cannot describe it. What total pig-headed scatter brained fluffy idiocy!! Grrrrrrrr...

23. I'm lucky the keycaps on my keyboard are still intact...
Katie Couric is a fucking JOKE. A BAD JOKE. A stinky, rank fucking joke emanating from the same studios that Murrow and Cronkite used to broadcast from.

So very sad where our media - the so-called "fourth estate" - has descended to.:(

33. I so hope there's a tremendous backwash
from this that rattles the warm stream media all week and into next sunday's blabfest.

Fifteen million friggin dollars a year that stupid network pays her! Just like the spendthrift republicans they--the network--make rotten decisions and still the idiot public keeps them in positions where they can continue to screw up.

25. Must add,
Ms. Couric would make a good match with that empty brained pretender who interviewed disgraced Larry Craig and his wife, last week. They both need to get jobs at MacDonald's or wally world or something equally challenging.

30. does she even know anything about the scandal?
i got the feeling that she was just saying something from rote, like it didn't even matter what Valerie said. this is what passes for TV hosts these days, sheesh. now i remember why i only watch the daily show with jon stewart after this disgrace. :grr:

34. Ha! Now that might be interesting.
As long as she didn't open her yap and remove all doubt. We'd all remark about how intelligent she was and how smoothly she handled her end of the show.

Oh guh! I'm making myself ill. Haven't been drunk in ten years, at least, but this might be a good time.
