Why Nobody Watches Couric Anymore

Few people watch network news these days. The Cronkite, Brinkley, Murrow legacy has long been eroded by first the emergence of 24 hour news channels and then by the dawning realization that the network news is clearly biased. Of those few who watch the formerly-Big Three network news shows there aren't more than a handful that watch CBS. Much of that can be related to the selection of "perky" Katie Couric as the principal talking head.

If you wonder about the assertion that she is deep in the pocket of the liberal administration and she simply doesn't "get it", you need look no further than this primetime interview:

Why Aren't You On the Obama Team?

Gosh, Katie, it isn't the job of Prime Ministers to sell the Messiah to their electorate. It is the job to represent their nation on foreign policy issues to the best of their ability.

COURIC: Can you explain this to me, then? In a poll conducted a month ago – just a month ago – 71 percent of the Jews in Israel surveyed said they dislike President Obama; 47 percent expressed a strong dislike.

What do you think might be the reason? Aren't you supposed to be a journalist? Maybe it is the bumbling outreach of the Bamster's crew to Iran and their ineffective efforts to curtail Iran's quest for a nuclear weapon? Could it be the reluctance to actually impose meaningful pressure on a nation which has clearly expressed its intent to wipe Israel off the face of the earth? Or would it relate to the groveling, kowtowing and obeisance to the Muslim world which has expressed similar intentions.

I would tend to dislike someone who was doing that, wouldn't you Katie? The real journalist's question would be about the other 29% of Jews who seem oblivious to the fool on the hill.
