Just saw Nancy Pelosi's interview by that woman Katie Couric.

[onecent]

I would have gotten up and walked out. Katie had this look on her face like she was smelling rotten eggs....and was rude to Nancy.

I wrote CBS, and told them this country wants change. And begin with Couric.

Katie went on about how the democrats "don't have a plan"..blabbity blabbity blabbity....

[babylonsister]

1. CBS sure didn't get their money's worth with that one. I have

yet to watch anything she does, and don't feel any future inclinations to do so.

[SpiralHawk]

4. Katie has definitely established herself as a News Bimbo

How low can CBS go

Can the corporate propaganda catapultists

Just say NO to news bimbettes

[flying_wahini]

2. Katie is a fraud !

She should have stuck to what she knows best,
pap and drivel, not hard news.

[madokie]

3. she was pleasant for the early morning 4 am crowd

when I first noticed her, but as she climbed the ladder or whatever they call it she went more and more to shit.

[City Lights]

5. KKKatie is in way over her head.

She's better at colonoscopies than news.

[Rockstone]

7. "Come fly with me"

[txindy]

6. Maybe Democrats "don't have a plan" because the M$M refused to report it

Or could it be that it's hard to make detailed plans when republiCONS have closed door, repub-only meetings and refuse to share critical facts with the Democrats?

Think that might be the case, KatieCourageless? :eyes:

Oh, but, then you knew that for years and refused to report it.

Shame on you. You're nothing but an overpaid stenographer, Courageless.

[July]

8. She said to PELOSI that Democrats don't have a plan?

Pelosi, who's got a First 100 Hours plan?

Did Couric do NO homework?

Wish I could get her salary for pulling Republican talking points out of my ass.

[Xenotime]

9. WTF?!? When did she become a freeper?

[SammyWinstonJack]

12. 2000?

:shrug: I can't stomach her or her buddy Matt Lauer. :puke:

[Xenotime]

27. really?

:shrug: I get I didn't know.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

10. How did Pelosi respond?

I can't imagine she let her get away with it.

[seabeyond]

11. dems should IMMEDIATeLY, when faced with hostility from media

sit back, relaxed, a smile.... and ask "why are you so hostile" and wait for an answer.

call them on it. everytime. not fight, not angry

makes media look bad and dem adult

[Clark2008]

16. LOL - like Wes Clark does?

Wes Clark, when confronted with such hostility, sits back, smiles and then continues on with HIS talking points instead of answering THEIR talking points.

He's a primar in how to do it. He should teach a class on it or something.

[seabeyond]

18. i like clark. i have seen kerry and dean do it too. maybe

now that we have congress, dems will be on air more giving them the opportunity to teach media appropriate behavior. i am seeing our dems challenging this more. we just have not been seen a lot. clark gets on the most, easily

[Rob H.]

19. Another thing Clark does that I like

I saw an interview wherein the blow-dried talking head tried to misrepresent something Clark had said and Clark very firmly but politely tore the guy a new one and called him on deliberately trying to make it sound as if Clark had said something he didn't say. Wes definitely has a set of brass ones--I hope he runs for office again. :thumbsup:

[Mad_Dem_X]

22. Yes, Wes knows how to handle the media

Other Dems need to take a lesson from him, especially now, when the media is going to try everything they can to make us look bad.

[txindy]

24. Yes, he really should lead workshops on how to handle attacking media.

He's got their number, that's for certain.

[Jawja]

13. Why bother writing to complain?

They won't listen. They are the GOP Corporate Media. They will continue to trash Dems (remember Gore and Kerry?), on and on and on. Doesn't matter where the Repugs have led this country. The GOP Corporate Media will continue to shill for their masters by working to destroy democratic government.

They will never be "fair and balanced."

Turn them off. Work to continue to build the new alternative source for news, information and community instead. In the future, the GOP Corporate Media will go the way of the railroads as opposed to the "horseless carriage."

[Bouncy Ball]

15. Yep. Turn them off.

It's their worst nightmare. TURN. THEM. OFF.

I can find out anything I want on the internet, I don't need to watch the corporate whores spewing right wing talking points on TV and I don't need to listen to it on the radio.

[Jawja]

26. Exactly.

They are not giving me a product I am interested in. Sorry, but their advertisers fall on deaf ears in my house.

Give me a product I am interested in, and I might buy. Otherwise, I am wasting my time demanding and expecting them to be real journalists serving the American public.

They stopped serving the public years ago when they aided and abetted the witch hunt and impeachment under false pretenses of Bill Clinton. Remember? That was a not so subtle hint that they were not interested in serving the interests of the people.

The BIG clue was when they starting ramming George W. Bush down our throats at least 2 years before the 2000 campaign. With the exception of a strong showing by at the time "maverick" McCain, the GOP Corporate Media anointed George W. Bush as the Repug nominee and then went on to be complicit in Grand Theft Election.

Get the picture? They are not now or ever going to suddenly start being journalists serving the interests of We The People. They are the GOP Corporate Media and the best thing to do to them is to turn them off. They are now irrelevant.

[Bunny]

14. "Navy SEALS Rawk!!!"

'Nuff said about Katie.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

17. Her body language, facial expression, tone of her voice, &

the way she spat out her questions, were all good indicators that she didn't like Nancy Pelosi. She was very rude.

[Mandate My Ass]

20. She did the same thing to John and Elizabeth Edwards in '04

She looked like she loathed both of them and her questions were rude and of the "when-did-you-stop-beating-your-wife?" nature.

Haven't watched her since, or any of them for that matter.

[Rockstone]

23. poor woman has sacrificed her childrens lives for her own career

she has a live-in woman to be a mother to her daughters. But she is home by 8PM to at least eat dinner with them.

[msongs]

21. PBS news hour interview w/margaret warner was pretty good tho short

esp re pelosi's verball attacks on bush, which she accepted and said she was essential correct in her observations :-)

25. On Lou Dobbs

We do have plans, not a plan, and it was brought up on Lou Dobbs lst night. He gave one solution from Obama and said there are OTHERS.For pete's sake turn off Katie like I turn off * and cronies, when they are on.
