but David Broder says that there is no bias in the medjia, so obviously SeeBS has a fair and balanced reason for doing that.

and nobody ever bring this up to katie? no one challenges her? we get freeper news and that is it? why isnt anyone getting in that little princesses face and asking why biden gets the ‘senator’ appended to his name, but Governor Palin doesnt rate a title before her name?

Oh, I expected this...
this is a standard girl fight tactic, to belittle your opponent by calling her “hon” or by first name or calling attention in a sweet way to a bad feature

Katy Couric is just fighting by girl rules...bless her heart

I’m sure Sarah dealt with worse than this in the PTA

[Eric in the Ozarks]

This violates the CBS News Stylebook. How far they have fallen !

[softwarecreator]

I don’t understand why she keeps doing interviews with the totally left-wing MSM, she gains nothing from it and it’s just an opportunity to be mistreated and ridiculed by a hateful interviewer who’s hellbent on making her look bad.

No surprise here but I doubt that it will make much difference. It has always been my experience that when one declines the opportunity to address a person by their proper title, one simply diminishes themselves.

[YOUGOTIT]

Look CBS, ABC, NBC and CNN are all anti-American offspring of Hitler and are totally Nazi in nature. They are whores and pimps and no one should look or listen to these anti-American Nazi democrat scum.

A paper trail on this would sure be a big help. Anybody have any documents?

[RetSignman]

YEAH, THE OLD DIMINISHING TRICK.

George Washington refused to parley with the Howe Brothers until they referred to him as "General Washington." I think Sarah should calmly smile at s like Couric and say, "unless you mean to insult the people of my state, Ms. Couric, I will thank you to refer to me as Governor Palin."

[Fawn]

Those friggin bastids. I hate them more and more all the time...the unfairness makes me sick.

[P-Marlowe]

Ultimately the higher ups at CBS News agreed, saying that wherever possible, the reference to "Governor" should be struck from graphics, scripts and published transcripts

Words fail me.

"...why biden gets the ‘senator’ appended to his name..."

Simply an honor that goes clear back to when Joe an FDR went on the tube in 1929 to discuss the Depression with America.

[neodad]

Is she still on the air ping?

[cookcounty]

So what did Couric call her, “Hey you?”

[JFC]

katie.. shut up!

[ruschpa]

Undoubtedly, Katie is as biased as they come.

But I saw the interview with Palin last night and looking at it from a purely unemotional and critical point of view, I didn’t think she did too well. She looked nervous and unprepared.
