If anything, this is just more proof they were set out to get from day one. They didnt focus on the good things she had done, no, they focused on all the "weird" things like moose burgers, her kids names, etc.



YouTube - Katie Couric RAW: Leaked footage of Couric Making Fun of Sarah Palin (FULL)

Conservatives4Palin.com: EXPLOSIVE: New Video of Couric Mocking Palin on the Day She was Named as McCain's Running Mate! (http://www.conservatives4palin.com/2010/08/explosive-new-video-of-couric-mocking.html - broken link)

Excerpts from article:

Quote:
" the producer running the sound board shut off the sound because he or she didn’t want to have Couric’s disdainful and contemptuous view of Governor Palin’s children captured on even an internal CBS tape that they never expected would see the light of day. You can tell this by the “OMG!” reaction of the CBS news employees who were in the control room as Couric said that about the Governor’s kids."
Quote:
"It’s not just what was said by Couric in her discussion of Governor Palin, but also the way CBS framed the narrative of Governor Palin’s life in their story. The script covers moose burgers, her kids, her being a former beauty queen and being on the cover of Vogue. Sarah Palin was a sitting governor, and at that time, before the Obama campaign and their allies in the press spent months relentlessly smearing her good name, she had the highest approval ratings of any governor in the country. She was also responsible for getting the largest energy project in North American history underway after several decades of interminable delays in Alaska. She was a courageous corruption-busting whistleblower who turned in the leader of her own party in Alaska for his corrupt practices....
But what in this impressive biography did CBS News and Couric choose to focus on? Moose burgers and beauty pageants."

For a moment I thought Couric was way way ahead of the curve that many haven't even thought about following yet. But then I realized that this was about the funny names. Well, I think almost everybody should have been with her. Almost.

This is nothing new. The fact that the "major news" organizations are packed with those that continually pump out the progressive and liberal agendas is an accepted fact with anyone except the most Leftist in this country. Couric is just a puppet on a string. It is also accepted that to control a people you must control their information sources. It is quite evident that reading these boards (which I only started doing a few days ago) that many swallow this leftist propaganda hook, line, and sinker! They are herded like the sheep that they are and are unable to think objectively or in an independant manner. They spout back the pablum that the US press has fed them for 40 years.

I am not saying that this Youtube clip is news ... because it isn't. That doesn't change my assessment of most of the television and a lot of the major print media in the US. This clip just shows Couric as the condescending person that she is ... a mirror of her character.

What, do you suppose, would be the level of outrage if it had been Britt Hume of Fox News who had been recorded making fun of the names of Obama's kids?

C'mon now ... can't we all just accept the double standards the leftist stand by and just get on with our lives?

Why? Never seen a white kid with those names? I think it would be rude, and I'd think less of the guy...but I wouldn't call it racist.

You mean the popular lamestream media is biased and ignorant? Well, I'm shocked.

Fakie Katie Couric will be remembered best for killing off CBS News.
