katie couric

So, Katie Couric is hosting Good Morning America (zzzzzz) and NBC got all hilarious and tapped former halfterm governor and eighth-wit reptiloid Sarah Palin for some clever/stupid counterprogramming. It’s the Thrilla in Wasilla! (A gig cohosting Today is what passes for INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT NEWS in the New York Media Elite Corridor ever since Manhattan kicked [...]

Don’t these Egyptians realize they’re supposed to provide a nice backdrop for these newscasts and stop moving around so much? Ignore the Americans in their safari shirts. Sure, you should kill each other in the back of the shot. That’s great. But stay a safe distance away.

Here is Katie Couric running through a script about Sarah Palin the day John McCain picked her as his running mate and—OH NO—she says the same thing about Sarah Palin’s children that has been said by every person ever. Why does she hate Trig so much? Stop making fun of him, Katie! See, she hates [...]

When Katie Couric “scored a victory for women” by taking over the CBS Evening News in 2006, no one trusted her ability to deliver the news without going on long asides about shopping or breast-feeding or whatever else it is that women talk exclusively about. So Walter Cronkite recorded a voiceover to introduce her broadcast [...]

Who cares about anything Fox News actor Glenn Beck says or does about anything — he’s really not worth getting so worked up about on a daily basis, tipsters! — and god knows why Katie Couric is interviewing him… but this is a pretty funny three minutes of television. Katie asks, “what do you mean [...]

C-list Republican media twat John Ziegler, famous for accosting Nate Silver, accosting Max Blumenthal, and politely interviewing Sarah Palin in her home, went to the USC Journalism School the other night for the Walter Cronkite Awards Dinner — honoring Katie Couric, the ENEMY — and apparently wasn’t content to make his fuss in the area [...]

Ooh look pretty pictures! The famous journalistic news-reporting organization Vogue profiles your Katie Couric, your Rachel Maddow, and wait, who’s this? We seem to have seen this one somewhere, recently… If you click through to Comments and scroll down just enough, you can now see six (6) images of Campbell Brown on this web site: [...]

…And this unbelievable nugget comes from a Fox News reporter. That Sarah Palin thought Africa was a country, not a continent. God bless you, Carl Cameron, for promising an “avalanche” of Palin revelations that had been off-the-record until the election was over. She threw temper tantrums and was unmanageable. She didn’t prepare for her Couric [...]

Here’s “gotcha journalist” Katie Couric getting quizzed by TMZ about her reading habits. She says the same exact thing that Sarah Palin said (“all of them, any of them”), except she says it to be funny. HOW DISRESPECTFUL. Katie also says she reads The Economist for the articles, and for the monthly compendium of slightly [...]

Sarah Palin continues to avoid the “mainstream gotcha media” wing of yellow black journalists after Katie Couric, the host of a basic news program for old people, proved to be too In The Tank in too many interviews. Since last week’s debate, she’s only granted interviews to such staunch conservative kingpins as Hugh Hewitt, Rush [...]

What’s even better than watching these terrifying clips of Sarah Palin and Katie Couric every night? Reading our favorite chit-chat blog, National Review‘s The Corner, the next morning! The Palin-Couric Sessions have been SO OBJECTIVELY HORRIFYING, and it’s a real hoot watching the Corner bloggers scramble together new Republican make-shift counterpoints each and every time. [...]

Here’s the promised new chapter of The World’s Most Painful Interview, in which CBS journalistic monster Katie Couric continues to look almost sad about how fucking dumb this Sarah Palin proves to be, again and again, whenever she is asked to speak.

If you haven’t yet read this latest Palin interview with conservative hack Hugh Hewitt, we have some advice: do not bother reading her answers, at all — only the questions. Unlike mean sexist Charlie Gibson, fiery “gotcha journalist” Katie Couric, or any other interviewer that Palin has made respectable, Hewitt’s questions are FAIR to the [...]

A couple of days ago, Jonathan Martin mentioned a particularly disturbing SECRET video that CBS News was sitting on from the ongoing Couric-Palin Sessions. Palin, supposedly, was asked some question about the Supreme Court and couldn’t discuss any other case beyond Roe Vee Wade: “There was no verbal fumbling with this particular question as there [...]

Because she’s masochistic, Sarah Palin went back for more inquisition with her MORTAL FOIL, the ancient fire dragon Katie Couric. Of course this time she brought her actual father, John McCain, to come and sit in and change the subject when Katie Couric starts getting mean. Palin sounds, uh, better(?), and is able to not [...]
