Katie Couric: 'Maybe We Need a Muslim Version of The Cosby Show'
In her @katiecouric Web show analyzing the trends of 2010, the CBS Evening News anchor made a serious speech (in her serious, deep-thinker glasses) against the deep "seething hatred" against Muslims in America:
I also think sort of the chasm, between, or the bigotry expressed against Muslims in this country has been one of the most disturbing stories to surface this year. Of course, a lot of noise was made about the Islamic Center, mosque, down near the World Trade Center, but I think there wasn't enough sort of careful analysis and evaluation of where this bigotry toward 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide, and how this seething hatred many people feel for all Muslims, which I think is so misdirected, and so wrong -- and so disappointing.
She really winced on that last word. When comedian Mo Rocca said he went to "really fancy schools" and "I cannot tell you five things about Islam," Couric shot back "Maybe we need a Muslim version of The Cosby Show." She continued:
I know that sounds crazy, I know that sounds crazy. But The Cosby Show did so much to change attitudes about African-Americans in this country, and I think sometimes people are afraid of what they don't understand -- like you, Mo.
Rocca said "I think religion should be taught as an academic subject in public schools." Couric said "I totally agree with you." But left unsaid is this: how well do network news people do in explaining the tenets of Islam or any other world religion? If there's great ignorance of Islam in America, Katie Couric has done nearly nothing to solve it -- and nominating Hollywood to solve the problem with a lovable family comedy isn't really taking responsibility.
No one on the set wondered if Couric was being reckless in taking the idea that many Americans had -- that a mega-mosque two blocks from the hole of Ground Zero was insensitive and should merely be located somewhere farther away -- and wildly extrapolating that with "seething hatred" of "1.5 billion Muslims worldwide."
This is not new for Couric. In a quote that made our Best Notable Quotables of 2010, Couric devoted a "Couric & Co." commentary to denouncing the Islamophobes:
It might be Islamophobia, Obamaphobia, or both, but when loud speakers are blaring ‘Born in the USA’ and signs say ‘No Clubhouse for Terrorists,’ it’s clear we aren’t just talking about a mosque anymore. There is a debate to be had about the sensitivity of building this center so close to Ground Zero. But we can not let fear and rage tear down the towers of our core American values.
Earlier in the show, Couric did talk about other things CBS failed to accomplish on the air:
What about the Nashville floods? Larinda Sue [sp] on Twitter asks if the Nashville floods will make our list, and it made all of us think, as w're preparing for the show...what other stories were underreported? The Nashville floods were really underreported. Anything else come to mind that we should have been paying attention to that we didn't? I would say we're probably not paying enough attention to Iraq. Does anyone else agree with that?
Martin agreed and said "We're in danger in the media, but also as a people, of becoming inured to war, sort of a permanent war," and "because there's no draft, a lot of us don't have skin in the game, as they say."

Cosby Show, a "dangerous myth"?
Submitted by Tim Graham on Thu, 12/30/2010 - 2:21pm.
In lauding the Cosby Show's war on deeply racist America in the 1980s, Couric ignores that Cosby commissioned some left-wing academics to take his show apart, which resulted in a book called Enlightened Racism:
Based on an extensive study, funded by Bill Cosby himself, of audience responses to The Cosby Show , this provocative book reinforces criticism that, despite the show's great popularity and positive influences, it promotes the dangerous myth that blacks who don't "make it" have only themselves to blame. The authors, who teach in the department of communications at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, interviewed 52 focus groups, learning that viewers involve themselves deeply with the show and often see it as reality. White viewers can identify with and accept TV's Huxtable family as "nice" blacks; black viewers appreciate the show's lack of racial stereotyping. However, the authors argue, The Cosby Show 's images of the black upper class--like most images broadcast in recent years--hide and distort how most blacks live, thus relieving white viewers of responsibility for such inequalities.
The Cosby Show relieved white viewers of responsiblity
Submitted by ProudAmerican58 on Thu, 12/30/2010 - 2:49pm.
for inequalities?! This racist tripe could ONLY have come from left-wing academics who majored in Race-Baiting 101.
This show was created and produced by an extremely talented black actor/comedian who'd already been famous for years. If "white" (along w/ black, asian, hispanic, etc.)viewers should feel responsible for anything, it should be for Cosby's enormous success, which some would say is unequal to that of many non-black performers.

Bozell for Cosby
Submitted by Tim Graham on Thu, 12/30/2010 - 3:00pm.
Brent Bozell went after that book and this one:
Author Michael Eric Dyson has gone after him with a full-length book asking "Is Bill Cosby Right?" His subtitle answers the question: "Or Has the Black Middle Class Lost Its Mind?" He claims Cosby represents a snooty "Afristocracy" of black professionals denouncing the "ghettocracy" of single mothers and inner-city gangsters. Dyson complained there's "nothing like a formerly poor black multimillionaire bashing poor blacks to lend credence to the ancient assaults they've endured from the dominant culture."
I wonder if Mr. Dyson has lost his mind. In an interview on his book with the New York Times Magazine, he suggested that "None of us want our children to be murderers or thieves. But Cosby never acknowledges that most poor blacks don't have a choice about these things." Don't have a choice? If this is not the most perfectly pathetic example of excuse-making, I don't know what is.

What we really need is a Christian Cosby Show, so everyone can see that they aren't a bunch of bible-thumping lunatics. If the goal is to do away with people's stereotypes, seems like a good place to start.
What I find ridiculous is how this twit can be against "homophobes" and "islamophobes" at the same time. She must know what happens to homosexuals in Islamic countries. If I were gay, you're darn tootin' I'd be scared of Muslims!

So what does he do? He nervously runs out of there and you guessed it, calls terrorist attack hotline.

We could see how he does his last days such as going to a bar to get drunk, watch strippers and then the next day, as a season finale, he goes to an American location where there are a lot of potential victims and to add shock to the finale, he might be prevented from carrying out such an act!

there IS a 'Muslim version of the Cosby Show' on CBC, from Canada. it's called "Little Mosque on the Prairie" and it is about Muslim families living in a small town in Canada. it's actually a very good show, and pretty funny.
not surprisingly, the Muslims featured do not include any suicide bombers.
I don't think Americans have any problem with Muslims per se. but we are getting fed up with people like Katie Couric pretending that 99.9% of all terrorists aren't Muslim. speaking for myself I'm also fed up with the LSM telling us about all these terrible acts of "Islamophobia," when in fact the number of hate crimes against Jews is 8 times higher than that of Muslims, and hate crimes against blacks and gays are far higher than either religion.
nobody seems to think we are a nation of anti-Semites, but somehow when it's Islam, suddenly it's a different story. one wacky preacher threatening to burn the Koran proves that we are racists, but the hundreds of American flags burned in the Middle East is not considered a problem.

Thats right Katie, we all needed the Cosby Show to educate us about African Americans. Before that I couldn't have told you three things about the race.
Actually Bill Cosby would tell Muslim youth the same thing he tells young people of color. Pull your pants up, shut up and listen to your parents and your teachers, respect others and get an education with the goal of contributing to society in a positive way.
Oh, and take responsibility for your actions and yourself!

Submitted by almostacowboy on Thu, 12/30/2010 - 4:59pm.
Liberals who support Islam have no sense of irony. I think that's even more obvious since they call themselves "liberals" in light of the following definitions of "liberal":
unless you'd like to own a gun or an SUV
unless they don't like that particular belief or action
as long as it makes us more like Europe
to the extent that they should be given every protection and benefit under the law while remaining exempt from it; does not apply to the TEA Party
but it's ok to be closed-minded and intolerant of those who prefer traditional, conventional values
ESPECIALLY if it's other people's money

'Theo! What' choo doin' with that bomb vest?'
Submitted by Slyrr on Thu, 12/30/2010 - 8:31pm.
Couric's love-fest with murderers continues. First it was Saddam's Iraq. She seems now to be vying for Helen Thomas' position as 'self-loathing-america-hating-muslim-loving' opinionator.
One can only imagine what her vision of a 'Muslim Cosby Show' must be. The 'Huxtaballah' family or something. Wonder if Couric would be able to deal with the fact that the women would not be allowed to have a jobs in the show - so say good-bye to the strong, smart lawyer Mrs. Huxtaballah. The women would not be allowed to question the behavior of their husbands. They would not be allowed to speak. So all the Huxtabullah women and girls would have to wear burkas and stay silent.
And I guess Cliff Huxtuballah would be instructing his son Theo Huxtubullah on the proper use of suicide bomb vests.
What a heartwarming sight Ms. Couric thinks that must be. Women subjugated and in their 'proper place' - and boys used as living weapons of mass murder. What a brave new world it is that liberals desire.

It sounds like a fine idea, Katie; but really; let's do it as a reality show, and YOU be the wife. After all, isn't it an "accurate" portrayal you're looking for, instead of all those typical sitcom stereotypes and caricatures? But remember, when you show up on the set, it's BYOB (bring your own burkha).
She seems to overlook the fact that the "Huxtables" exemplified the best of American black families; that part of black culture which is so often villified and demonized by the Sharptons, the Jacksons, the Farrikhans and the rest of the marxist-leaning, demoncrat-loving majority of blacks. You know; the ones with the love/hate relationship with slavery: using it as an excuse for rage, yet being all too willing to live under the thumb of the government and activist poverty pimps.
'The Cosby Show' wasn't about the typical bottom-feeders, jivers, gang-bangers and welfare amazon tribes that predominate black culture. It recognized blacks as dignified human beings, who were expected to behave dignified through their words, actions and accomplishments.
Oh, and Katie; it wasn't fear and rage that tore down the two very REAL towers; it was Muslims, preying on the innocent and defenseless. That IS their culture and their religion.
Please, Newsbusters; forward this to the perky Ms. Couric. Happy New Year!

“Diane is well aware of the dangers of having a child in her mid-sixties. She will speak with doctors, live on television, about the dangers and complications of a pregnancy late in life. She will fret about the decision and then conclude that an abortion is the right course of action. The very next night she will have the abortion in front of a television audience at the same time that Couric is receiving her pap smear and Geraldo Rivera is being water boarded.”
