From Thinkprogress:
CBS News anchor Katie Couric is currently reporting from Iraq. Today she spoke to Bob Schieffer on CBS’s Face the Nation and largely reiterated Gen. Petraeus’s talking points on Iraq.
She said that Petraeus believes there “really is a trend” of success on the security situation in Iraq and believes President Bush’s escalation “needs to continue.” She also recounted “signs of life that seem to be normal” at a market she visited, but then conceded that the positive aspects of her report are based on “what the U.S. military wants” her to see:
Well, I was surprised, you know, after I went to eastern Baghdad, I was taken to the Allawi market, which is near Haifa, which was the scene of that very bloody gun battle back in January. And, you know, this market seems to be thriving. And there were a lot of people out and about. A lot of family-owned businesses and vegetable stalls.
And so, you do see signs of life that seem to be normal. Of course, that’s what the U.S. military wants me to see, so you have to keep that in mind as well. But I think there are definitely areas where the situation is improving.
Katie was hired because he lied for the GOP and did the spin/blame/lies. Be careful what you wish for. Katie gets low ratings because she lies even when the proof is in her face. In Bob's report I would say Katie bitch slapped herself. Her report with Connie Rice was a joke. Bob's got the last laugh now and a much bigger rating too.
ReplyDeleteKatie should seriously consider FAUX Noose.
ReplyDeleteYes Katie should, I know a lot of military moms who cannot forgive the way she shilled for this war.
ReplyDeleteShame on you Katie!
