I actually heard one commentator or "journalist" suggest that Katie Couric asked "straightforward" questions of Sarah Palin, and not "gotcha" type questions. That is a Big Lie (1984 style). Let me illustrate with concrete examples of why Katie Couric is corrupt, incompetent, and not worth watching.
"Do you favor legalizing infanticide in the case of rape of a 15 year old girl which results in a baby". Likely answer from Barack "World" Obama (evading question): "That is not an issue. No one is talking about infanticide. We need to be talking about limiting the need for abortion." Katie Couric (insultingly repeating question): "Do you favor legal infanticide in the case of rape of a 15 year old girl " Obama: "I favor not letting it get to the point of that kind of thing. I favor keeping abortion legal so we never have to face questions like that, but we need to try to limit the need for abortion with sex education." Katie Couric (even more insultingly): "Do you favor legalizing infanticide for a 15 year old girl how is raped, if she ends up having the baby because she was afraid?" And so on. Eventually, of course, Obama will probably either get irritated and attack the question (as I would do from the beginning with any of these stupid Katie Couric questiosn), but you should get the point.
Imagine that Katie Couric went on. You voted not to require medical attention for aborted (induced late term abortion where the baby is not intended to survive). We have a tape where you said that a woman should not be forced to confront/regret her choice by having medical efforts made to keep an aborted baby alive that is meant to be dead, and will probably die. You have said that puts too much of a burden on the woman in making her choice. You also seem to favor legalized abortion up to the moment of birth. Katie Couric (with this pramble): "Do you understand why many people consider your position endorsement of infanticide--even people who do not consider all abortions the equivalent of infanticide." Yes, you can imagine the insulting repeat of the question over and over again, as Obama evades the question. Actually, you can't imagine it, because it never happens, and never will happen--certainly not with Katie Couric.
In fact, I have heard Obama evade questions time and time again. I have never heard an insulting repreat of the question. Often, the media person just lets him get away with it. At most, the media person will suggest that the question (never as unfair as those to Sarah Palin, except maybe by O'Reilly) has not really been answered. To simply repeat the question in an insulting tone is unfair and corrupt. Katie Couric is simply a corrupt, incompetent, leftist "journalist", like Gwen Ifill (see previous entries today).
"Katie's" absurdly unfair questions to Sarah Palin (what Couic obviously feels are the "real" issues in this campaign--not):
1. Do you favor making it a crime for a 15 year old girl, who is raped, to abort the resulting baby? Now that is a "hard" question all right for anti-abortion people like myself, but no "harder" than the above questions for a pro-abortion person like Obama. Further, it is less relevant that the infanticide questions, where there is a recent Federal law ("Born Alive Act") requiring medical attention for aborted babies born alive. The Supreme Court has not allowed democracy to work in this country. So we are not even allowed to debate when abortion should be allowed and when it should not be. The "moderate" position once (a lie) asserted by Planned Parenthood, is that no one favored abortion on demand up to birth, but that the law should make reasonable exceptions (such as rape). If the Supreme Court had not intervened, by the fiat of a majority of nine men overruling the democratic will of the people), we could debate this issue on a state by state basis. As it is, the issue is irrelevant to Presidential politics. After the insulting repeated questions by Couric, by the way (did I tell you she is corrupt and no "journalist"? I know I did), Palin gave a good answer (actually, all of her answers were good; the first one or two just avoided a direct answer to the irrelevant "legality" part of the question). Palin said that no one is going to put a raped 15 year old girl in jail (absolutely correct, even if she did an abortion that was technically illegal). Rather, Palin said that she would counsel the girl on the meaning of life, and taking a life (essentially that abortion is a form of infanticide not morally different from killing the baby after it is born--my position, although I regard this "hard case" as being so rare as to make it irrelevant, when we have a million and a half abortions a year, to the issue of restricting abortion). The implication, of course, is that the baby should not be punished for the crime of the rapist, but that you would have to have compassion for a 15 year old girl in those situations. These are may expansions of the argument. Palin merely said that she would counsel the girl on life, and why she should allow the baby to be born (adoption afterward would be an option). This is after Palin emphasized that no one would put such a raped girl in jail. It is a great answer to an insulting, stupid, corrupt, dishonest question--corrupt and dishones because pro-abortion politicians are never pressed on the absurd parts of their position, and their almost routine evasions.
2. Palin was asked whether she favored the "morning after pill" Again, this is hardly an issue in this countr. Again, Palin have a perfectly acceptable answer, only to be faced with the insulting (I might have hauled off and socked Katie Couric at this point--certainly verbablly--but Palin was more patient than I am) repeat of the same question. Again, Palin came up with a fine answer. She favors contraception (as do I), but she believes life begins at conception (as do I). Therefore, she could not favor use of a pill that destroys life. Again, the whole question is irrelevant, since it is not an issue in this country at the present time. Further, this question is not nearly as "embarrassing" to a pro-life person like Sarah Palin or myself, as is the question fo a pro-abortion person: "What magic thing do you assert happens when the umbilical cord is cut that results in a human being where killing that human being is infanticide, while an instant before killing that same being is nothing more than tissue destruction"? There is even the "morning after pill" question: "Don't you think it is absurd to require a prescription for birth control pills, but to sell morning after pills over the counter?
You should get the point by now. And I have not even gone into the "evolution" question to Palin, which was more than outright insulting Then there is the religion question. The mere asking of these questions, as if they are an issue for Palin and not the obviously heathen Democrats, is so bad as to qualify Katie Couric for exile to Australia (see my entries over the past few days on sending establishment people to Australia).
Katie Couric is an incompetent "journalist" (infinitely more so than Sarah Palin, or even Joe Biden, is an incompetent VP candidate). She is corrupt and dishonest. She did not ask "straightforward" questions respectfully. She asked insulting, irrelevant questions in the most insulting way possible.
You should not watch Katie Couric. I never have (meaning I am ahead of you, as usual). Katie Couric is obviously a female out of her depth in the anchor chair. She is an unintelligent boob.
Nope. I did not just contradict myself. I don't watch Katie Couric. I saw and heard clips of parts of the interview on other programs.
