What Is This “Terrorism” Of Which You Speak?
Being America’s Sweetheart is a highly underrated role. You can be as dumb as you want and as long as you keep smiling brightly and stay blonde everyone will still love you.
Just ask Katie Couric, who rakes in $15 million a year to anchor the nation’s least popular news program. Not bad for someone who let America watch as she had her anus probed.
Did she forget? Did she think we forgot? Was this for her benefit or for the benefit of those watching?—”you probably have never heard of them, but there is a terrorist organization out there called Al Quaeda, and let me tell you, they are some really, really bad guys.” Hmmmm……Al Quaeda……Al Quaeda….no, doesn’t ring any bells. No, no, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of them. Tell me what they do again? Hmmmm…I’ll have to Google them when I get home.
The CBS president, Sean McManus, said “CBS News takes pride in excellence and it’s impossible to overestimate the quality of Katie’s work.” Really, Sean? Impossible? I don’ t know—it might be just a leetle possible. I’m not saying a lot possible, but maybe just a little, because Katie’s probing question about now, who is this Al Quaeda? really didn’t change my life. I’m just not sure that the quality of this particular bit of news reporting was up to the usual standards. I’m fairly positive that most people already have a pretty good idea about what this so-called Al Quaeda organization is – but, I could be wrong. Maybe much of America has been talking ever since this special bulletin aired about that strange, unheard of group with the hard-to-pronounce name. In which case, thank you, Katie, for asking the hard questions, and letting the American people know the name of this unfamiliar organization. You have certainly proved your worth by getting out information that most of us would never hear about if not for you.
