Your way of "debating" a point with me is to sarcastically misrepresent what I have said. Your last post concludes "Yup, the Today show is just a pure as the wind driven snow." Let me make clear for you what apparently do not understand. I think the "Today Show" is a complete waste of time for a number of reasons, only one of which is the very liberal bias of the co-hosts, the writers, the staff and the management. Maybe that helps you.
However, in this particular thread, the discussion has been about how the interview of Coulter by Couric went today. In earlier threads, I pointed out that what I said a few days ago was correct, and that many here were incorrect, in making such stupid predictions that Coulter would bury Couric, would have her crying, cringing, apologizing, whatever, or that Couric would be afraid to show up today. Such nonsense came from people who are SO biased in their worldview, so hateful of anything and everything they disagree with, that they lose ALL objectivity. There is far too much of that in this forum. There are some very intelligent comments on these boards, but there are also blindly biased viewpoints by those who NEVER want to be objective.
Your intimation that I view the Today show favorably is your very defensive way of burying your head in the sand. Reasonable people understand the interview today did NOTHING to change minds among people who watch the Today show. Coulter bit her lip and played nice for a change. She was polite and diplomatic. Couric scored some points, Coulter scored some points. It's over. The Today Show will be back tomorrow with some kind of pointless stunt or interview with a movie star. Coulter will go back to the media stages she prefers, where she can go back to being witty but condescending.

And the same could be said of you. Of course, we'd have to drop the "witty" part.

Amazing.

Thanks for making it clear what is important to you. That you are always right, and everyone else is wrong. Forgive us for all no bowing down in worship. I never made any claim that Couric would be in tears, unable to muster an adverb, etc. Why you keep bringing that up with me is rather perplexing.

The fact remains that Couric and friends misrepresented themselves and their network regarding the verbal ambush on Coulter today:

"Good morning. The Gipper was an airhead! . That's one of the conclusions of a new biography of Ronald Reagan that's drawing a tremendous amount of interest and fire today, Monday, September the 27th, 1999."

. ...and now they want to declare victory and go home.

I would end with "Deal with it", but only someone with a need for constant attention and positive reinforcement would say that.
