I can't believe Dan Rather would say such a thing.
To: Stallone
You know - I have to agree - I find Katie repugnant, but it's not her looks - it's the way she interviews.
Having said that, I thought this guy's comments were inappropriate. Five little girls murdered in front of their classmates, and he goes off on a tangent about abortion. I thought his speech was irrelevant and in very poor taste.

Repugnant! If anything is repugnant, it is the leftist bias at CBS News.

Speaking of intellectual dishonesty, if the womens' movement were consistent, it would want to protect the lives of women in the womb.

One of the things I despise about the left is their lack of intellectual honesty. Might be worse than that - the MSM thinks we are not intelligent.
That said, most people pick up a paper, scan the headlines and put it down. The headlines are good propoganda tools.

then she should apologize to her children for giving birth.
To: Air Force Brat
The man's comment about abortion was part of an overall concern he was expressing about what he called a moral free fall in this country. The entire focus on abortion came from complaints from pro-abortion people.
And when all the dots are connected, Katie Couric expresses concern that people may find his comments repugnant.
I read all of the man's words, and saw a replay, and I disagree with your comments. I don't think what he said was irrelevant or in poor taste.

She needs to be at the "statistical zero" mark. IOW the same ratings as a test pattern. But test patterns convey useful information. Limited but still usefull. I think her ratings need to fall to that of random noise
To: xtinct
One of her clinicals is at a clinic which deals with teens and women who have recently had abortions. The teens are despondent. I wonder if there is any corelation with suicide rates and abortion rates. I've heard that both have been falling lately.
To: AmericanInTokyo
He said... "This country is in a moral free fall. For over two generations, the public school system has taught in a moral vacuum," he explained. "We teach there are no absolutes, no right or wrong. And I assure you, the murder of innocent children is always wrong, including by abortion."
So Katie said...
"We knew when we decided to put on this segment that a lot of people would disagree with it. We also knew some might even find it repugnant."
Now, let's try a thought experiment, what if he had said...
"This country is in a moral free fall." he explained. "We teach that guns are a Constitutional privilege , but I assure you, the death of innocent children by gun fire is endemic in America; meanwhile some of us put our heads in the sand and quote the second amendment "
Would Katie have then said...?
"We knew when we decided to put on this segment that a lot of people would disagree with it. We also knew some might even find it repugnant."
Sure, and cats swim seas and pigs climb trees.

All words used to allow the injection of their own opinion into the news. Nothing new. Exactly! And "unnamed sources" too.

"Amazingly I've never watched the woman." Not so amazing, neither have I. I would have a hard time even recognizing her, as well as most of the other annointed media elites. And yes, I'm proud of myself .

Well, aside from our despisiing Katie Al Couric, she is absolutely right. Some do find pro life views repugnant,,she didn't invent it. She however would never say "some find abortion repugnant".
Katie is not the brightest bulb. She should have left it at "people disagree on whether abortion influences the current killings in school".
But to be fair to the bimbo, she is right.

"Sometimes, I feel badly that courics mom was pro-life." Perhaps at the time, Katie's mother thought that abortions were repugnant.

"She looked stiff and uncomfortable, pale and lifeless." Perhaps "repugnant" is the word you are looking for.

Couric often uses this devise. Invariably "Some people" includes herself.
