CBS's Katie Couric: 'I Feel Like Right Now in Many Ways, We’re a Very Angry Nation'
NewsBusters ^ | December 22, 2009 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 12/22/2009 5:15:23 PM PST by Rufus2007

Angry, frustrated, troubled, disappointed, disgust, disrespect - words not normally associated with holiday season. However, they were words Katie Couric used to describe where she sees the mood of country right now.

Couric, the anchor of the "CBS Evening News," in a live Facebook video chat on Dec. 22, took on illustrating her view of the populace - a not very sunny picture (emphasis added).

"I think more distant - I hate to say that, but I think, I think the economic situation in this country, I think, when people are struggling, that sometimes they need a place to vent their rage and to channel their rage and I think, I feel like right now in many ways, we're a very angry nation," Couric said. "Very frustrated, troubled and disappointed in many ways in terms of people feeling that the American dream just isn't within their reach. I mean I still think it's a place of incredible opportunity and entrepreneurship. But I just think that, I don't know - maybe it's because what I do for a living, I feel that the country is pretty polarized right now."

Katie
Americans are angry
With your warped Communist ilk.
Stop Polarizing American’s country and fight for it instead. Question authority, investigate power, and follow the money.

Hah! I bet the 'Master of understatement, Ms. Couric', would have written the same in the 1776 Philadelphia Tory Times
... '...The rabble in the colonies seem to be a bit miffed about something... I say, for the life of me, I cannot fathom why...'

Couric is employing her super-secret chopped-blond professional corporate journalist superiority mind-control wide-eyed hypnosis sympathetic understanding command talk to suggest that now that her communist faction has raped the country half to death and is going to give a double-tap screw on Christmas eve before sending grandma to the grave while the politicians exempt themselves and drink champagne, that maybe the conservatives should resort to violence so that martial law can be imposed and the concentration camps can start up at long last.

But you’re not supposed to see her trying to suggest that, so just forget it and obey her secret-encoded mater subliminal suggestion, ya hear, flyover peasant?

I wish this braindead Obama cheerleading skank would shut up. I have no idea what this dork is talking about? I mean all is well, unemployment at high 16-18% levels. Obama is a Muslim with no papers in the White house. The media plays one party against the other...this stupid B*tch doesn’t know what she’s talking about. I think things are just great....no anger here. :)

“but I wish there was a way for all of us to discuss our differences without being - digging in our heels so much and being respectful of other people’s points of view.”

It is my point of view that my liberty, property and labor are not the state’s to do with as it pleases . . . so when is she going to start respecting that?

Land sakes! Golly gee. Lil’ Katie thinks Americans are being ever so mean!! Has it occurred to you Katie that Americans are fed up and boiling mad at the imposition of socialism? That the great majority of Americans are disgusted with this poseur of a president and his thuggish cronies? Good Lord this is one very stupid and vapid woman.

Oh, we are very angry.
They think we will cool down?

I saw another thread where you refered to a certain politician as a Judas Priest!

Reminded me of some angry music from my youth.

Katie is part of the MSM that has done nothing but smile at conservatives while attempting to show her disdain of them behind the toothy smile (Sarah Palin interview established that). She's part of the problem, and nothing she can perkily say or do will change viewers opinion of her (and her shenanigans). She helped chase them straight to Fox News.
