As 2010 comes to a close, the media industry is taking its annual breather to reflect upon all the things it had to cover in the past year. Katie Couric, in her CBSNews.com review of 2010, highlighted the controversy surrounding the Park51 project. “The bigotry expressed against Muslims in this country has been one of the most disturbing stories to surface,” she told her panel. In that media narrative, she saw “a seething hatred many people feel for all Muslims,” which she theorized could be remedied by another, more lighthearted narrative: “Maybe we need a Muslim version of The Cosby Show.”
She came to the situationally comedic solution after offering this take on American Islamophobia:
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.
So could funny Muslims in even funnier sweaters be the answer? “I know that sounds crazy,” she said, “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.” She was referring to Daily Show veteran and NPR regular Mo Rocca, who was present for the discussion. A Harvard alumnus, Rocca shamefully confessed that despite having attended “really fancy schools,” he knows basically “nothing about Islam.”

LOL Maybe we should have a Muslim version of CBS News. Katie, a burqa fitting YOUR head is already on order! You could end your newscasts with, “Courage, Jihadists!” Bob
“We need a Forensic Files Show trying to figure out who killed Katie Couric.”
Probably the one-handed man.

*I believe that to be a muslim and an American at the same time is a mutually exclusive proposition.
What a moron she is. As if television could somehow civilize Islam.....
“Katie dons a Burka”
New season, new show to air in mecca.
Muslims can’t take a joke and most Americans don’t find beheadings very funny. On second thoughts, it would be a huge hit if they limited beheadings on the show to friends and relatives.
She is such a freakin idiot.
I'd like to start the competition off with "What's my Fatwah?" based on the fifties show, What's My Line? where a Imam, Muslim cleric is questioned by a panel who must determine the Mullah's Fatwa and more, and "Can't Tell The Truth" rules of which I'll leave up to you.
Wait until she has to climb into a burqa.
Instead, we need her to go live in Saudi Arabia
Then we’d all be happy (except the Saudis)
Katie Couric: ‘Maybe We Need a Muslim Version of “Married, Married, Married, Married, Married, Married, Married,
Married, Married, Married, Married, Married, Married, Married, Married, Married, Married, Married, Married, Married, Married, Married, Married, Married, Married, Married, Married, Married, Married , Married, Married with 72 Children”
The Cosby Show was a gross and massive misrepresentation of typical Black culture and average Black life in America.
See? This is the Liberal thing. Fantasy and surrealism IS reality for them.
What they WANT to be true is more important to them than reality or facts.
In short they are crazy, and “The Perky One” proves that she is a fantasy land moron every time she presents one of her ‘ideas’.
After all, in Couric’s mind she is much more “enlightened and intellectual” than Palin(obviously, duh) because it takes a lot more brains to smile and giggle while reading written words on TV off of cards than to be governor of Alaska.
It could be shown here in central Indiana on Comcast channel 911.
The Ahdami Fam-al-lee
(snap, snap)
Yep, and the weekly episodes could include the father killing off his wife(s) for bringing dishonor to the family, and killing an occasional daughter also.
"The bigotry expressed against Muslims in this country has been one of the most disturbing stories to surface," she told her panel.She's right -- it is one of the most disturbing stories to surface, which isn't surprising, because she's one of the partisan media shills who helped make it up. Maybe we need a non-Moslem version of beheading for Katie Couric and the rest of the partisan media shills. Thanks lbryce.
Maybe we need a version of the CBS Evening News that is hosted by a real American patriot.
