Couric: Aren’t “Liberals Controlling the Mainstream Media?"

Well, some of us have known for some time that Al-Querty leans way left, and carries a certain junior senator from New York and her water!

[Jaysun]

"there's always been a market for lies and deceptions and I show in this book, going back to the 1950s.."

Bullshiet. If that were true AirAmerica would be thriving.

[Fenris6]

Stupid Katie Couric. I could feed an entire Somoli village on what she spends on Cosmetics and niptucks.

No where in her "analysis" is the obvious question: "If there's no left-wing bias on the tele, then WHY did conservatives start up AM talk radio formats to express themselves?"

Stupid bimbo.

[Saundra Duffy]

most people, I think, on the street would say the media it tends, tend to be more liberal than conservative

Duh

[Jaysun]

If you haven't eaten recently, I suggest going to http://mediamatters.org/ and looking at this guys website. He's a typical kook. He rants about OPINION shows and supposedly "exposes lies." It's the same circular nonsense that you always see. No evidence of lies.

Republican Noise Machine is a good name for a band

You're absolutely right. If nobody objects, I'd like to propose that name to my band. It's much better than our current name, "The Chrome Buzzards"

[pookie18]

Sorry, I've just started dinner & even if I hadn't I'd probably hurl...

Perhaps the greatest thing about the "perky one" is that her I.Q. rivals her age.

[Gefreiter]

Couric allowed the flawed premise to pass unchallenged.

Dan Rather's show claims to be news. Sean Hannity makes no such claim. The difference between these 2 positions is obvious to me, why not to her?

Republican Noise Machine is a good name for a band

yes it is LOL...

[Arrowhead1952]

Brock: "I don't. I mean first of all the amplification system and this is what I detail in Republican Noise Machine it is what mediamatters.org is trying to fight back against. The talk radio amplification system, liberals do not have that. They, they do not have a dedicated cable channel like the Fox News Channel."

They, they do not have a dozen or more dedicated cable channels like the Fox News Channel."

Couric: "What about Al Franken's Air America?"

Al can't compete with the likes of Rush, Laura and Hannity. His show is already DOA.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Oh good. This should make O'Reilly mad. I like it when they make him mad. LOL!

[Timocrat]

This is a right wing Republican henchman at the head of a news channel. This is inconceivable Katie."

ABC,CNN, MSNBC all had Rick Caplan extreme liberal - golfing buddy of Bill Clinton. "Inconceivable Katy"

[TC Rider]

Po' David Brock, he's got sand in his vagina.

(What really cranks me off about Brock is that whenever Gary Aldridge's name or his book, "Unlimited Access" comes up, the normal lib response is that, "Aldridge was discredited by other Conservatives!". The only discrediting 'conservative' was none other than nancy-boy Brock)

[TC Rider]

Republican Noise Machine is a good name for a band

I thought it was the name of Orin Hatch's band.

[dirtbiker]

Perhaps the greatest thing about the "perky one" is that her I.Q. rivals her age

Actually, I believe her age has eclipsed her IQ a long time ago.........

[WOSG]

Brock: "We don't know what that will be. But let me tell you this. Whatever Al Gore does it will not be what Roger Ailes is doing. This is a right wing Republican henchman at the head of a news channel. This is inconceivable Katie."

Larry Kaplan, FOB (Friend of Bill) and (former) head of CNN is "inconceivable"?

What a joke this guy is. At best, he is showing that there is some conservative media out there. And they have a fraction of the share that biased liberal media has. HE CALLS DAN RATHER OBJECTIVE? wrong.

[martin_fierro]

“Aren't most people in journalism, primarily, except for say on Fox, and in certain conservative publications, aren't they for the most part, and of course the media is, are not monolithic, but pro-choice, you know, against prayer in school, probably favor affirmative action?

That sentence should be taken out back and shot.
