Her puff-piece on Rice (on 60 Minutes) was a disgrace to all journalists. Her fawning over Bush was unprofessional and sycophantic. Her slamming of Howard Dean telling the truth on the Today Show while turning a blind eye to Bill O'Reilly's lies was ignorant and biased. And those are just the ones I know about.<BR/><BR/>VW, the thing with Coulter was not so much a disagreement with Coulter's politics as it was an attempt to protect her "journalistic integrity," which Coulter had impugned in the book.<BR/><BR/>In Couric's defense, it seems the right hates her as much as the left. So maybe she is just an awful journalist who should not be on the news at all.<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/>Billwilliam harrymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06981478282688361274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617569.post-1159994928026840502006-10-04T13:48:00.000-07:002006-10-04T13:48:00.000-07:00I certainly never thought of Katie Couric as a con...I certainly never thought of Katie Couric as a conservative sympathizer.
