"The Manchurian Candidate": Katie Couric is a paid BushCo apologist! |
|
The automaton smirk that you see on all the "talking heads" when they want to discount democratic guests or subjects of discussion IS THERE!!! My God, it is the same face! They KNOW wht they are doing, and I think they have been trained to do the smirk!!! She was talking to the director and actors of the Manchurian Candidate and she poopooed them..."You are taking it to the extreme, aren't you?" "Angela Lansbury says you should not mess with a masterpiece" "So this isn't another Fahrenheit 911? (smirk)"

Katie is not a paid BushCo apologist. She's a voice of the establishment, meant to reinforce the status quo. She may not realize it consciously, but she never would have gotten to the place she is without doing so either consciously or subconsciously.
F9/11 ruffled the establishment's feathers because it didn't tread within the realm of conventional wisdom. Normally, such efforts are easy for the establishment to discredit. However, Moore has attained such a high profile because -- let's face it -- he's a controversial figure with an IMMENSE talent for documentary filmmaking, that it puts all of these establishment voices on the defensive. The only thing they can do is to smear him and his work at every turn, in hopes of eventually discrediting it.
The statement about The Manchurian Candidate was not directed at that movie, but rather at F9/11 and Michael Moore.

7. Katie Couris is a wealthy Manhattan socialite |
|
She cares more about what parties she's invited to than she does about her responsibilities as a "journalist." She hangs out with the ultra-rich, the aristocracy. Don't expect her to rock the boat on behalf of plebes like us.

10. Wonder how much stock she owns in GE???????????? |
|
Do the talking heads of stock options? Do they profit from the war?
They are as culpable for the war crimes as is the administration and should be tried for their part in the deception and lies!
