Couric on Palin – Not so subtle deception by CBS

Last evenings CBS news broadcast with Katie Couric featured two interviews; one with John McCain followed by an interview with Sarah Palin. In the first segment, Ms. Couric, on the current financial situation, asked John McCain if he agreed with Sarah Palin in her statement that the United States was heading for another depression.

Later during the Palin Interview, Couric first asks Palin if she believes that the United States is heading for a Great Depression, Palin answer was non-committal; she stressed the importance of a bi-partisan plan and noted that if nothing was done that could be a possibility. The question one has to ask is: How stupid does the Elite Media feel the American people are? Anyone watching this specific broadcast understood immediately that Couric was dishonest in her alleged reporting. It is precisely this type of media coverage that continues to help push rankings and subscriptions further in to the abyss. One thing is fairly certain, come November 5th, there will be a shift in the media; either they will become more embolden with the arrogance of self-perceived importance in swaying an American election, or they will be even more marginalized than they are today – blaming the internet repeatedly for their woes. The interesting aspect of the internet as a catalyst vis a vis declining viewership and subscribers is that these types of media have solid web presence; however, traffic is often a problem. The problem the networks and major daily papers have is simple: They don’t understand that they have lost the trust of a majority of Americans because their bias is not concealed; rather it has become glaringly apparent. Journalist should report - not pontificate (or campaign) – that is editorial content, not a report. Ms. Couric’s editorial interview with Sarah Palin is shown below.
