Couric: 'Palin Makes No Apologies for Her Pro-Life Views'

It's the kind of liberal media bias that is perhaps the most telling of all. The unconscious sort, revealing an MSMer's world view.  On today's Early Show, introducing the portion of her interview with Sarah Palin dealing with abortion, Katie Couric states: "Palin says she makes no apologies for her pro-life views."

Can you ever imagine Couric introducing an interview with a Dem and saying "so-and-so makes no apologies for his pro-choice views"?  Neither can I.  In Couric's circles, support for abortion rights in this default position, the view that all right-thinking people hold.  No apologies necessary.

But being "pro-life"?  That's the kind of thing any cultured person should really consider apologizing for.  If Palin won't, so be it: but she better not expect to be invited to the better parties on the Vineyard this summer.

View video here.

Bonus Coverage: check the end of the video clip as Couric and Harry Smith schmooze about Couric's segment on the interview on tonight's Evening News.  Katie gets ticked that Harry doesn't know there will be two questions asked, not five, and Harry sarcastically replies "thanks Katie; always good to have you here."  Tension convention!

And there's Miss Katie

And there's Miss Katie sitting there, hands folded, like a teacher lecturing a dim student!

That's as opposed to her cozy chat with Biden

Must....find....more.....duct tape!

 

I have seen many screencaps

I have seen many screencaps of the interviews, and no matter how small or fuzzy they are, Couric's disdainful, sour puss comes thru loud and clear in every single one of them.

No kidding.  I said in

No kidding.  I said in another thread that you don't even have to hear the questions; just look at Katie's face and it says it all.

I wonder how much heavy editing this 'interview' went through?

Will we get to see the stuff they left on the cutting room floor like we did with ABC?

Apparently Couric makes no appologies for her biased stupidity that she tries to pass off as 'reporting'.

 

You want change? Give me a dollar.

Harry's Hope

I bet Harry hopes to succeed Katie when she is bounced out of the anchor chair on the CBS Evening News

Couric, the washed up has been now beds with obama.

Katie Couric is literally a disgrace to CBS ... .........thou CBS is a disgrace all on it's own. Their totally bias and sexist media coverage is litterally overwhelming. 

Once again, the name

Once again, the name reveals much:

Katie Couric = Ciao Cute Irk

I hope we get to see her in her cheerleader outfit with the big "O" on the front before they let her go, though...

During Harry's  "Thanks,

October 1, 2008 - 07:45 ET by motherbelt

During Harry's  "Thanks, Katie, always good to have you here"  I thought I was watching David Letterman!!

Look at it this way

Obama said the other day that one African child dies every 30 seconds from malaria, and we have to do something about that. The something that could be done is DDT. But to aliberal, they don't recognize the junk science in Rachael Carson's idiotic book, they think if only we had more money ...

Moral of the story, liberals think logic is something to be defeated, truth, somnething to be outlawed, and free speech, well just wait on that one.

I say the blood of the dead African children is on the hands of liberals and their false science gods.

"No apologies"

October 1, 2008 - 08:44 ET by mustangsally

Palin used the phrase "I am pro-life and I'm unapologetic about my position there that I am pro-life" in the interview.  I do not think it is unreasonable that Couric would say "Palin is unapologetic" about her views on abortion.

There is ample room for a critique of Couric's bias but it should be done in a fair way ...

Comrad Couric is THE ONE WHO SHOULD APOLOGIZE

Comrad Couric is THE ONE WHO SHOULD APOLOGIZE for the grissly acts of baby murder being promoted by her and her leftist goons.  HOW HORRIFIC!  Where's the CHOICE!  The baby has no choice as its being torn limb from limb or burned alive in its mothers womb.  America needs to SEE what abortion is:

I insist on an immediat apology from Couric for her participation in the American Holocaust.
