Say it isn't so!
I didn't think this was possible: Ponte: Couric Further Left Than Rather.
Katie Couric’s politics "are apparently even further to the Left and more partisan Democratic than Dan Rather’s,” commentator Lowell Ponte writes."For this reason, she is unlikely to restore CBS’s credibility or redeem CBS’s well-deserved reputation for left-wing bias.” If Couric’s previous work is any indication, she could bring to CBS not only her liberal bias but also her penchant for making potentially inflammatory comments.
The story recounts a couple of times where The Perky One opens her mouth and sticks both feet in. Comments that would have gotten anyone else fired, just roll off her like water off a duck.
The story includes her resume, including getting kicked off the air at CNN and on and on.
Even Salon.com didn't pull any punches:
In a March 18, 2004 profile in the Left-leaning Salon.com, Rebecca Traister detailed the stories of "Queen of Mean” Couric "throwing temper tantrums on the set, bullying her staff and using her influence to get people fired, mailroom boys and network executives alike,” Ponte reports."Ann Coulter was right to describe Couric as the ‘affable Eva Braun of morning TV … she hides behind her Girl Scout persona in order to systematically promote a left-wing agenda.’”
When you can't get a sympathetic magazine to portray you in a positive light, something's wrong. Very wrong.
