Anchor Calls Palin "Dangerously Uninformed" [Satire]

Semi-News/Semi-Satire | 8 Oct 2008 | John Semmens

[John Semmens]

CBS News anchor, Katie Couric characterized Republican vice-presidential nominee, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as “dangerously uninformed and naïve.”

“She doesn’t watch my show or any other major network news program,” Couric complained. “She doesn’t read the New York Times, Washington Post or any other respected daily newspaper. Her sources for news are something called the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman, the local Wasilla TV station KTUU, and, get this, some blog called Free Republic. Do the American voters want someone this far outside of the mainstream to be a heartbeat from becoming president?”

[Old Sarge]

That is only just satire.

Only just...

[jimfree]

Got it before opening your post John.

[dayglored]

Shootin’ fish in a barrel ag’in, I see... ;-)

[Doctor Raoul]

He’s got Katie down pat.

“She doesn’t read the New York Times, Washington Post or any other respected daily newspaper”

Talk about being misinformed . . . Katie is Flakey

[acapesket]

Thanks for the Laugh!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Couric is suffering from that Obama “tingle.” Shut up and tingle Katie! Why don’t you and Whoopi Cushion go do another pro-abortion march somewhere BEFORE the election.

She doesn’t watch my show or any other major network news program OMG I can hardly type this post from laughing so hard - what a moron.

[svcw]

Satire!

[dynachrome]

“and, get this, some blog called Free Republic”

Hehe. Thanks for the plug.

[Vision Thing]

“She doesn’t watch my show or any other major network news program,” Couric complained.

Katie, over 295 million out of 300 million Americans don't watch your show.

[AMNZ]

Katie might get educated if she knew a little more about
“Free Republic”. What a twit.

[bray]

Good stuff. You do have to admit that Katie Colon is an expert on the Dangerously Uninformed.

She doesn’t read the New York Times, Washington Post or any other respected daily newspaper. ,,......................... That was the give away that made me look at the source John. Ya almost got me.

Can we please have a mandatory “SATIRE” alert in the title. This is making us look stupid.

CBS News anchor, Katie Couric characterized Republican vice-presidential nominee, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as “dangerously uninformed and naïve.”

Heaven help us all, Sarah is dropping out of the race and going to work as the evening anchor at CBS.

[nufsed]

Outstanding!

[Seruzawa]

Cry! Cry me a river,
I want you to,
Cry! Cry me a river....

[taildragger]

And Katie...

She's never seen your Colonoscopy Video! What a rube!

[OrioleFan]

Yeah this is satire, but if it weren’t I would have replied:

And Katie is a qualified reporter (ask Walter Cronkite).

[Bulldawg Fan]

Sattire or not.........”an effete corps of impudent snobs who characterize themselves as intellectuals.”

EAGLES UP ! ! !

[John Semmens]

You write: “Can we please have a mandatory “SATIRE” alert in the title. This is making us look stupid.”

Well....

“Semi-News/Semi-Satire” appears right next to the title.

“Satire” appears in “key words.”

“Humor” appears in “topics.”

Readers are well-informed if they make a slight effort.

[Cold Heat]

It does not matter what you do, they are primed for hip shootin these days.

One positive thing about former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau — he never missed an opportunity to inform members of the national media how little he thought of them, and how little he valued their opinions on anything. He often said that he never watched the news, or read news articles. He preferred books, or his own, trusted sources of information — and he had many of these at his disposal.

Most people would be amazed at how much better informed a Governor can be than anyone who depends entirely on the mass media for information. Palin would have daily briefings from top experts in various fields — also, she would be plugged into the Republican Party apparatus. There would also be opinion polls — done right — and she would have a complete analysis of these polls presented to her. In addition, as a Governor, she would be able to network with other Governors & would have calls to Washington returned. The only thing to be learned from reading national newspapers is what propaganda the people are being fed at the moment.

[autumnraine]

I know, I know. It’s just so embarassing!

[Sacajaweau]

You did good John...but I kept reading...and KNEW!!!!

[BornToBeAmerican]

Katie, whatever you are on, don’t stop. Reality will kill you.

[VR-21]

"I know, I know. It’s just so embarassing!

You're in good company. John's a master. Here's a picture of him with me after reading one of his past posts.

[alaskamomma]

heehee, very funny.

[dynachrome]

“Nattering nabobs of negativism”

[dynachrome]

I see satire 3 times in the headers and you’re still reelin’ them in!

[WillT]

In Katie’s world, you are not informed unless you watch her show or the network news or read the NY Times. That’s about what I thought she would say - typical liberal elitist attitude.

[WillT]

I must admit - you had me going there for a minute !! I don’t think it’s too far from the truth, actually !!

Do the American voters want someone this far outside of the mainstream to be a heartbeat from becoming president?” _______________________________________ Congratulations, she is finally getting it. The answer should be a very obvious YES. Every news source listed is no longer a news source (if they ever were) but propaganda for the left. "mainstream" and her news sources have little in common. Hopefully McCain doesn't read them either.

John's a pro fisherman -- he gets them hook, line, and sinker... But something like this... he doesn't even have to cast a line.

As noted in #30 above, here's VR-21, fresh outta the barrel:

The rod in John's hand is just to make you think he had to work at it. Don't you believe it!

[VR-21]

Ever the sportsman, John did throw me back to be caught again. When I wise up to his spinnerbaits, he throws me a topwater.

Yep, I'm usually very careful to look at the poster id line, but even so he sneaks one by me from time to time too....
