Barf! Couric fawns over Rice in 60 Minutes piece |
|
Why, oh why, are we subjected to Couric on one of the last real news shows left on network television?
She just did a butt-kissin' profile of Rice, showing her on her exercise bike, playing her piano, and pretending that she had something to do with the civil rights movement in Birmingham.
The toughest "question" Couric asked was, "To quote my daughter, who made us boss of the world?" which Rice of course handled easily. The rest of her "questions" were merely setups to get the standard GOP talking points.
What a sad, sad excuse for journalism this was! What absolute tripe!

2. couric should join the view |
|
the interview sucked, couric sucks and CBS obvously has no qualms with wasting money on contracts. katie and condie should have exchanged makeup secrets. That would have had as much gravitas as her "interview" with the secretary of state.

It was nothing more than a giddy, lightweight little puff piece.
With all of Rice's failings as both NSA and SoS, one would think Couric would have asked something tougher than her 'to quote my daughter' trash. Unbelievable.

Dear God, Katie uses a question from her teenage/tween daughter? |
|
How sad is that. I've been asked that exact same question by a four year old!!!

10. All of those phoney freaks know how to get down with the fawning. |
|
Just make me hurl. Katherine Harris Cruela is a perfect example of the fawning technique. Gives me the damn willies. :puke:

6. News pixie Couric is a bigger disappointment than anyone |
|
could have imagined. Lightweight. And a corporate mouth. That about sums her up.
No honor. No service to the people of the United States of America. No journalism.
All fluff all the time.

|
I think that's what people would REALLY like to know...was Katie PERKY as Condi-licious spun thrilling tales of non-existent WMDs that could take the form of mushroom clouds?

16. Kouric makes me not want to watch 60 minutes ever again. |

Here questions and reporting are making 60minutes a second rate news show.

17. You give them too much credit, IMO. I would expect more |
|
hard-hitting questions from the County Junior College Journalism majors.
So Katie is getting her interview questions from her daughters now? Maybe they really do know more about what is going on than Katie.
