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.

One of the things I despise about the left is their lack of intellectual honesty. This author is intellectually dishonest and needs to change the title, which is misleading.

"some viewers may consider...", "critics say...", "some people have said..."

All words used to allow the injection of their own opinion into the news. Nothing new.

I would say some viewers may find Katie repugnant. I don't have to hide behind some viewers and may though. I find Katie repugnant I will never watch her show.

The drive-by-media must be in a dither over this one....on one hand, this is a man they could use to their advantage, as an anit-gun poster child....however, now they find out he is pro-life!! And blaming the schools! and society! not the NRA for his son'd death!! Poor Lame stream media....

>>"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."<<

Way to go minimalizing the man grief, Katie you crud.

Other than a couple of times years ago, I have never watched her either I am happy to say. After she had been on the evening news for several weeks. I watched her just because I wanted to see how she looked, hair, makeup, clothes, demeanor, etc. you know, girl stuff.

She looked stiff and uncomfortable, pale and lifeless. Her new job doesn't seem to be agreeing with her.

Couric's ratings are not low enough.

She needs to be at the "statistical zero" mark. IOW the same ratings as a test pattern.

Katie (Botox) Couric is a birdbrain.

Repugnant = the report my niece passed on to us this weekend. She's a 3rd year nursing student. One of her clinicals is at a clinic which deals with teens and women who have recently had abortions. The teens are despondent. She advised these 14 year olds to talk to their moms. Unfortunately, they are unable to do that because their moms do not know that they had abortions.

The other 3 women were seriously depressed - 21 - 25 - 34.

According to my niece the aftermath of these abortions is devastation. That is repugnant.

Also repugnant: As of 2006, eight medical organizations recognize that abortion raises a woman's risk for breast cancer, independently of the risk of delaying the birth of a first child (a secondary effect that all experts already acknowledge). An additional medical organization, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, issued a statement in 2003 calling on doctors to inform patients about a "highly plausible" relationship between abortion and breast cancer. General counsel for that medical group wrote an article for its journal warning doctors that three women (two Americans, one Australian) successfully sued their abortion providers for neglecting to disclose the risks of breast cancer and emotional harm, although none of the women had developed the disease. more
