By WMC Dear WMC Supporter, Katie Couric sure knows how to make, as well as cover, the news. The other night, at the NOW dinner in Washington, D.C. where she was honored, I heard her say, "In case anyone's wondering, I'm a feminist." I was among those who nevertheless asked, "WHAT did she say?"

Couric It is one thing when a bubbly cutie from a morning show lands a massive give as the first woman nightly news caster and then fails miserably because her intellect is not quite as capable of dealing with reality after 5 PM. That kind spectacular failure is the failure of the network to adequately take into account the limitations of the person they are hiring. One could hardly blame Katie Couric...

I posted this earlier on RedState.com. I think it is very important. Much has been made in the media about how John McCain shot himself in the head when he told CBS News’ Katie Couric on Tuesday: Colonel McFarlane (phonetic) was contacted by one of the major Sunni sheiks. Because of the surge we were [...]

Congratulations to Katie Couric for having the courage to ask Barry a few tough questions. Unlike the rest of the media, Katie held Obama’s feet to the fire as it relates to the surge and his continued failure to support it. I think at least in this instance Obama was revealed for who he really [...]

I've always been taught that when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging! I guess McInsane never learned that lesson... In an interview with Katie Couric on Tuesday night McInsane had made numerous gaffes. Interestingly, one of the...

So, last night CBS Evening News aired an interview Katie Couric conducted with John McCain. Or rather: They aired portions of an interview, because they removed, among other things, a part in which Couric tells him that Barack Obama alleges security might have improved in Iraq even without the U.S. troop surge in 2007. "What's your response to that?" she asked. McCain was aghast, and responded that,...

When Katie Couric told Haaretz that "The glory days of TV news are over," her words framed what looked like a lament, but her recent deeds make them seem like a threat. Her recent interview with Senator Barack Obama, at the very least, certainly failed to glorify any of the parties involved. Follow me through the video and long-ish blockquote below... COURIC: Before the surge, as you know, Senator,...

Consistently last in the news ratings war, America's highest paid newsreader is now claiming that she is a victim of sexism and that discrimination based on gender is more prevalent - and tolerated - in US society than racism: "I find myself in the last bastion of male dominance, and realising what Hillary Clinton might have realised not long ago: that sexism in the American society is more common...

On the July 22 broadcast of the CBS Evening News , while airing portions of an interview anchor Katie Couric conducted that day with Sen. John McCain, CBS News did not air McCain's response to a question in which he characterized the Iraq war as "the first major conflict since 9/11," apparently disregarding the war in Afghanistan, which Couric addressed in her question and which began in October 2001....

Erm, let me see: Katie Couric, the CBS evening news anchor who earns a reported $15 million a year, compared herself to failed presidential candidate Senator Hillary Clinton in an interview with Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz. "I find myself in the last bastion of male dominance, and realising what [...]

Hey, why not … Faux and and all the rest of Main Stream Media have become the equivalent of the National Enquirer. Good grief. Grandpa McCain has truly become pathetic. He completely steps on his dick, CBS covers-up for him, and then when called out on it...
