CBS New anchor Katie Couric ordered staff to drop all references to "Governor" or "Gov." from her interview with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. When a staff member pointed out that in other venues, Couric and CBS News had referred to Governor Palin's opponent, Joe Biden, using his title of "Senator" or the abbreviation, Couric, according to a CBS News editorial aide, sought approval from CBS News management to drop the "Governor" reference during her broadcast interview with Palin that began on Wednesday night.
"It's not true," said another CBS News source. "We treat everyone the same."
But, in fact, that's not the case: as late as September 22, CBS News and Couric -- even on the CBS website -- used Biden's honorific. Here is an excerpt from the transcript of a Couric interview with "Sen." Biden:

My god...how can anybody claim there is no bias in the media after this election? It’s amazing how obvious it is now.
I've not heard any man be so vicious about Palin OR about any male candidate as women have been.
Caty Crap strikes again. What else would you expect?
Couric is a bitter, little old lady clinging to her anchor desk and microphone.
rathergate taught them nothing
Surprise, surprise.
Gee, who saw this coming? I mean, the Democrat newsrooms have been so fair up to this point....
McCain’s willingness to send Palin into these ambushes makes me seriously question the man’s judgment.
I have never watched Katy Couric since I saw her interview the children of that nut that kidnapped Elizabeth Smart. She asked the under age children, on national tv, if they had ever been molested by their father.
I sent an email to the station, daring them to ask Couric’s children if they had ever been molested by their father.
Couric tried to make a big deal of McCain’s association with campaign honcho Rick Davis who used to be a lobbyist, but she never mentions how she used to campaign for her late sister Emily Couric when she ran as a Democrat state senator in Virginia.
Exactly, these fools have conducted business in such a way that a cable outlet, FNC, beat them for the GOP convention.
Someone more talented than I needs to juxtapose the determined fierce look on Sarah’s face next to the pinched, smarmy look on Katie’s in a side by side...
‘nough said.
The msm had their shot at her. They missed . It’s all but over.
Why is this troll doll still allowed in front of TV cameras?
Even CBS must see the relentless damage Couric is doing to the network week after sickening week.
“Ive also noticed that local media is far less biased.”
That depends on where you live, I suppose. Here in Minnesota, we’re neck deep in bias, from Don Shelby to the (Red) Star ‘n’ Tribune.
one thing we know about Sarah....SHE IS AN OUTSIDER....SHE IS NOT WASHINGTON....SHE IS US!..
and when they belittle her, they are belittling us....

Yup... even young people are waking up. My daughter (23y.o)went to a young Rep. event in So O.C., Cali.. tonight and there were 40 plus showing up to network and see what THEY can do to get McCain/Palin into office.
My daughter is not super political, but came home pretty jazzed and looking for more opportunities to get involved. Proud of her. She has been a loyal GOP’er since third grade, and I am ashamed to admit I was a Democrat. She came home after the class did their weekly reader segment and told me and her independent Dad to vote for Bush!
This is CBS, a national news organization that millions still treat as their only news source as they watch it on TV every night.
How incredibly small minded they are to engage in such behavior.
Big effing surprise !
You hit the nail on the head!!
Disrespect is the main ailment of the liberals. Everyone is of lower status than they are .. therefore .. disrespect is just their natural way of looking at things.
The liberals disrespect us to make themselves look better. When .. in reality .. it only makes the liberals look worse. Shhhhh! Don’t tell them.
Couric’s actions toward a “sitting Governor” were just apalling; not only rude but arrogant. Couric has proven that while she tried to make Sarah look diminished .. all Couric succeeded in doing was diminishing herself. No one deserves it more!!
She is not worthy to hem Sarah Palin's skirt...which she is probably incapable of in any case.
It doesn’t matter. You jig is up, lefties.
