Does the MSM sense blood in the Bush administration water? That seems to be the case, judging from the breathtaking accusation that Katie Couric just leveled at it.
The context was Couric's interview of Chris Matthews on the subject of the investigation by special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald into possible leaks in the Valerie Plame affair.
Matthews was hostile enough, musing whether the Bush administration "in defending themselves against the charge we went to war for a corrupt or bogus reason, that there wasn't any weaponry, a deal with nuclear weapons, did they break the law?"
But that evidently wasn't venomous enough for Katie. She cut Matthews off peremptorily, interjecting:
"Yeah, and Chris isn't it more than just Iraq, doesn't it speak about the way this White House possibly operates" risibly seeking to distance herself from what was clearly her own notion by tacking on at the end of her question "in the minds of some?"
Matthews, perhaps shocked at the scope of Couric's charge, turned the matter back to the specific question at hand - whether the Bush administration, in seeking to discredit Joe Wilson, broke the law.
But just in case there were any doubts, now we know: Katie Couric, the most widely-watched, most powerful morning talk show host in America, views the President as heading a rogue administration whose modus operandi is to break the law. Stunning
Both Couric & Mathews are sucking heartily from the teat of the radical left. Mathews show is nothing but a podium for the absurd.
ROFLMAO
In what parallel universe does that happen?
Governs,
Let me confer upon you the official DUSTYMOMENT IRONMAN STOMACH AWARD for being able to tolerate that hateful, vengeful ___________ (rhymes with witch). Frankly, there is nothing that comes either out of her mouth or from that program that I would consider to be "newsworthy".
Evidently, SeeBS feels the same way since they couldn't convince her to become their next Dan Blather and promote more "GuardGate Memo" style "news".
Next to no one in the RED STATES is being fooled by this MSM barking moonbat idiocy.
The Today show should be called Yesterday. These nuanced propagandists are sooo last millenium.
Just another Katie "notnews-hotflash."
ROFLMAO
In what parallel universe does that happen?
It's a fact. The Today show still has the highest-ratings of any morning talk show. It is watched by an average of over 6 million people every morning.
I don't understand how one liberal media whore interviewing another liberal media whore is news.
Thanks, DM, I will treasure the award ;-)
Watching and reporting on the nefarious doings at the Today show is my twisted pleasure!
Katie is positively breathless, ain't she?
She really couldn't wait to cut Matthews off and get in her scandalous accusation.
If that is true we really are one sick nation!
What did that e-mail say? Didn't Rove say that he didn't take the bait? (What does he mean by that?) I take it to mean he didn't get into who Plame was. Is that it?
Fluff tv. Ain't worth watching. But for some it is their PRIME SOURCE of news. Sad.
you people watch this crap every morning?
< / rhetorical question >
But you would never get those facts from the MSM. Honor amongst thieves and all that.
What a silly bitch.
