How did a nice girl from Arlington, Virginia become a notorious whore for war criminals?
But brace yourself for a pack of lies.
How does a typical corporate media whore become a $15 million dollar anchor desk whore?
Years of practice:
On February 16, 2006 Couric failed to question Republican strategist Mary Matalin regarding remarks she and other surrogates of Vice President Dick Cheney previously made absolving him of blame in the accidental shooting of his hunting companion, despite Cheney’s admission that he was solely to blame for the accident.
A whore interviewing a whore. 21st Century American journalism at its finest!
Couric prefaced her questioning in an October 18, 2005 interview with Karen Hughes by baselessly stating, “I know you’re not at liberty to talk about the investigation into the CIA leak” involving the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame, essentially inviting Hughes to answer any questions about the leak investigation by saying, “I’m not at liberty to talk about it.” In fact, Hughes was very much “at liberty” to talk about the leak investigation.
Another double whore spectacle! A real journalist would have asked why every traitor in the Bush White House hadn’t been locked up yet. But Couric is not a real journalist, she’s a corporate media whore with a LOT of Wal-Mart stock:
On March 21, 2006 Couric introduced a report on Wal-Mart’s expansion of its retail business in China by telling viewers: “It’s a company that is as American as mom and apple pie.”
For some reason, the $15 million dollar whore didn’t explain how on earth Wal-Mart’s child labor violations, illegal anti-union tactics, unpaid work, nighttime employee lock-ins, and false Made-in-USA claims compare favorably with mom and apple pie.
In a September 6, 2006 interview with President Bush, Couric asked a number of softball questions and allowed President Bush to make numerous false and misleading claims regarding the Iraq war’s effect on terrorism recruitment, the administration’s warrantless domestic surveillance program, the ongoing hunt for Osama bin Laden, and the current state of port security in the United States.
Corporate media whores like Couric aren’t going to ask Bush about his blatant warmongering and treason. That’s not their job. They get paid to be whores, not journalists.
During a profile of “scary smart,” ” ‘girly’ and fun” Condoleezza Rice, broadcast on 60 Minutes, Katie Couric let Rice make, without challenge, a series of false and misleading statements about the Bush administration’s decision to invade Iraq and its use of prewar intelligence, as well as the war’s effect on global instability. Couric tossed Rice softball questions, such as, “Is it hard for you to have a social life?” “How does one go about asking the secretary of state out on a date?”
I have a better question. Is it hard to service war criminals day after day, you $15 million dollar whore?
Many of Couric’s comments and questions during her March 24, 2007 interview of John and Elizabeth Edwards were intrusive and inappropriate. She asked John Edwards if he might be “capitalizing” politically on his wife’s incurable cancer because of his “insatiable ambition.” She said, “Some people watching this would say ‘I would put my family first and my job second’ and you are doing the exact opposite. You are putting your work first and your family second.”
If anyone has insatiable ambition, it’s you, $15 million dollar whore.
During a recent report containing an interview with Gen. David Petraeus, commander of Multi-National Forces in Iraq, Couric did not challenge Petraeus’ assertion that “if you look at the country as a whole the number of ethnosectarian deaths, you name it, the number of incidents has been reduced dramatically.”
I’ll name it. It’s a whore stroking a pimp.
Over a period of several months, Couric devoted only 1 minute and 44 seconds of CBS Evening News airtime to questions surrounding whether Attorney General Alberto Gonzales testified truthfully in his numerous appearances before Congress.
Whore power!
During an interview with Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff about the recently released National Intelligence Estimate Couric did not ask Chertoff about the NIE’s finding that Al Qaeda has “regenerated” several elements of its infrastructure, including a “safe haven” in Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas.
Well, at least she didn’t blow Chertoff on live national television.
On 60 Minutes on October 21, 2007 Couric demonstrated once again why she gets paid so well to be a whore for George W. Bush and his war criminal administration:
It’s almost as if Couric implies that Plame Wilson should have expected the White House to out her because the work she did touched on the question that sent her husband Joseph Wilson, to Niger.
COURIC: You never for a moment thought this could potentially jeopardize my career?
PLAME: It’s called ‘living your cover.’ This had nothing to do with what I was doing. He was part of the debate.
COURIC: But admit it, it comes awfully close to what you were doing, even covertly. I mean, you were trying to ascertain if Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. He’s writing an article saying ‘it’s really not valid, this one assertion.’ I mean, can’t you see how those two things might collide and in a very dangerous way?”
Couric should be embarrassed for her arsenal of GOP talking points disguised as an interview. Seriously, this is a covert agent telling you that national security was compromised and you think this is the kind of question that needed to be asked?
“Can you understand how people just were turned off by that whole thing? They felt “Gee, maybe she’s enjoying her celebrity a little too much.” Couric even at one point accused Valerie of being very partisan and Joseph Wilson of still seething… can you believe that hackery? Did it ever cross her mind to ask that of President Bush in her softball interview from Iraq? Of course not.
Since when does anything cross the mind of a brain dead whore?
For decades, CBS News was respected around the world because of the journalistic integrity of legends such as Edward R. Murrow:
and Walter Cronkite:
Those days are gone.
$15 million. That’s how much.
Katie Couric.
$15 Million Dollar Whore.

Fortunately, the shower facilities Buhdy has provided at Docudharma are excellent.
Um, I guess you can call her whatever you want, but Whore does seem just a little bit sexist.
journalists, public figures, and politicians are always attacked using some critique the focuses on a negative female stereotype? They are bitches, whores, they laugh funny, they dress funny, they are too pretty, they are not pretty enough blah, blah, blah…
Do I like Katie Couric. No. Do I even think she qualifies as a journalist? No.
A vast majority of male journalists do not meet the standard of Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite and shill for bullshit and money. Edward R. Murrow ended up doing celebrity interviews… so how well did CBS really back him up?
Will you call all the other male journalists who do exactly the same as Katie, hookers and whore?
fond of the term, “whore”, but I think in the case of Couric…this might apply.
With all of the other media whores out there … Bill Orally, etc. … at least Katie is cute and perky.
If they get her to give the newscasts buck naked, I’d watch (for a little bit, anyway).
Then I’d want to see her … never mind.
Her piece last night was no exception.
Her comments on Obama attending a Madrassa even after it had been shown that the school was NO Madrassa didn’t change her mind. She refuses to face up to facts and proof that what she says is untrue.
You could tell that she thought Valerie Plame was guilty and was not a victim by the way she interviewed. She never once mentioned treason, no did she accept any premise that people in the White House were culpable, going out of her way to “protect” them by saying they were not CIA as if that had any relevance to what had happened. The White House is in the news again today for leaking classified information about Israel bombing a nuclear plant in Syria….they do it all the time and try to blame the leaks on someone else….Katie doesn’t get it, because she doesn’t want to.
Is there some other way to make the point without calling her a whore and a hooker?

male and female. So, looking at it from a non-sexist view, just ask yourself this:
mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the biggest whore of them all? I think Katie just might come to the top of your mind! She has mastered the art of media “whorism.”
(for I cannot remember), “Would you sleep with me for a million dollars/pounds/euros?” Receiving an answer in the affirmitive they noted – “The principle is then established. It remains only to haggle about the price”.
How about “Strumpet”, or “Doxy”?
Just like that repulsive traitor Novak, and the phony “journalists” at faux “news”–all graduates of the Propagandists for Bush School of Journalism.
is a pittance, a bargain price for keeping the zombinals quiet and complacent.
Imagine the ensuing riots if our Charolette Iserbyt retarded citizens were actually, well, like smart or something.
her new segment, something about free speech, giving generally unheard voices the chance to be on TV, and in the first week that included Rush Limbaugh.
But the others are no better. Brian Williams says he always listens to Rush so he’ll know what’s going on with the people.

Captain Kangaroo wasn’t either.
Alma’s version of whore, a souless sellout, and yes she is one. I also think they ALL are and not very bright ones at that. Katy is particularly infuriating because she looks like this Americana version of female, like Laura on Dick Van Dyke. So perky and squeaky clean and krewl. The CNN ones I have come to believe, both male and female, are androids or really good robots. As a woman the Females on TV offend me more then the men because deep down inside I think woman are smarter.
all read the script from the teleprompter?
What was the name of that movie where (I believe it was William Hurt) that played aguy about as smart as a box of rocks, but presented the news very well as a TV anchor. The old anchor had retired and another guy thought he would get promoted, but didn’t because he was better as a field reporter and when he finally got a chance to appear as a TV anchor he started to sweat profusely.
I don’t ever watch TV news anymore BTW. I find it a waste of time getting stirred up over.
As for questions, she probably prepares them ahead of time and gives them to “the boss” for approval. She’s probably perfect because they never have to revise her questions list.
