We know what is in her heart.

But technically speaking, the article headline is not correct as it does not conform to the article. She had said (even if it were cleverness on her part), that 'even some people might find it repugnant.' She did not call it repugnant herself which is the exact title of the article. I am not playing devil's advocate. I am just commenting on the journalism here. Again, certainly this is her view, but she herself did not directly say that, only insinuated. Hence here clever nature.

What heart ?

He said... "This country is in a moral free fall. For over two generations, the public school system has taught in a moral vacuum," he explained. "We teach there are no absolutes, no right or wrong. And I assure you, the murder of innocent children is always wrong, including by abortion."

So Katie said...

"We knew when we decided to put on this segment that a lot of people would disagree with it. We also knew some might even find it repugnant."

Now, let's try a thought experiment, what if he had said...

"This country is in a moral free fall." he explained. "We teach that guns are a Constitutional privilege , but I assure you, the death of innocent children by gun fire is endemic in America; meanwhile some of us put our heads in the sand and quote the second amendment "

Would Katie have then said...?

"We knew when we decided to put on this segment that a lot of people would disagree with it. We also knew some might even find it repugnant."

Sure, and cats swim seas and pigs climb trees.

Well, aside from our despisiing Katie Al Couric, she is absolutely right. Some do find pro life views repugnant,,she didn't invent it. She however would never say "some find abortion repugnant".

Katie is not the brightest bulb. She should have left it at "people disagree on whether abortion influences the current killings in school".

But to be fair to the bimbo, she is right.

Leftist journalists love to find "Jason Blair" type sources to speak FOR them, to say the things that they (as impartial observers) could never editorialize.

Some headline writers scour for DNC talking points and use the headlines to slam Republicans in "news" articles. An example of such a headline would be "Republicans are party of no ethics" (note the quotes). Just because "someone else" said it, does not mean that the journalist does not agree wholeheartedly.

Some barking moonbats think it is "perverted" that kids are not instructed to have sex from age 3 up (see the Sex Positive agenda) and denounce abstinence as "unhealthy" because it is a supression of sexual desires. I never see the media "acknowledge" this worldview that "some people" find abstinence repugnant (the common talking point instead is that "it doesn't work").

Since not all worldviews are covered, I'd have to say that Axis Katie delibertely mentioned those people who'd find it repugnant because of similar ideology at work. Why not mention those who find the gun grabbers' efforts to push for tighter gun control in the wake of such incidents to be "repugnant"?

Lemming Culture of Death.

[EDINVA]

it's a rhetorical game leftist media types use all the time .. they act as if it's not THEIR thoughts but the thoughts of the great unknown "some."

[subterfuge]

Ah, Katie's venerable source, "some people." She's been using that trick for a decade to espouse her and her overlord's views.
