**Written by Doug Powers Tomorrow is the final night of Katie Couric’s stint as anchor of CBS Evening News, at which point Scott Pelley will take the reigns, lean forward even more and possibly face-plant the entire operation once and for all. Everybody knows that Couric is the run-of-the-mill media elite liberal, but how in […]

**Written by Doug Powers If you happen to be among those who oppose a mosque near Ground Zero, you might not be so biased if only some enterprising television producer would create a sitcom about an upper middle class Muslim family — perhaps featuring a lawyer wife and a doctor husband in a colorful cable-knit […]

“Family first” for thee, but not for she.

“Do the pike thing.”

Criticizing Katie Couric is fun, easy, and always good for some red meat-feasting. I’ve done plenty of it and it’s almost always deserved. But this time I’m not going to add my voice to those haranguing her for her decision to go to Iraq. Not yet, anyway. Conservatives frequently criticize TV personalities for not taking […]

The Associated Press controversy over its six burning Sunnis story is not just about AP. It’s a burning credibility crisis that stretches from Pallywood to the Fauxtography scandal and beyond. Milblogger Greyhawk takes on the Times’ Ed Wong and his reporting in Hurriya. Greyhawk zeroes in on this paragraph: From morning until afternoon, at least […]

I’m blogging from the road (don’t worry, Bryan Preston is driving) on our way back from a Michael Steele campaign event. We’ll have an interview with him posted tomorrow at Hot Air. The GOP candidate was endorsed by a passionate, bipartisan group of pastors–several of whom made a point of declaring “I am a registered […]

I haven’t been a regular prime-time evening news viewer in years. Decades, it seems. Katie Couric isn’t going to change that. I’ll tune in to see Rush Limbaugh on Thursday, and then tune out after that. Rush talked about his role on the CBS Evening News this afternoon and why he accepted Couric’s invitation: Early […]

Mary Katharine Ham is fed up with guy bloggers having all the fun. So for all the ladies in the house: Man Candy. Free market think tank types want in on the action, too. They are actually holding a contest to vote for the “most beautiful policy people.” I link, you decide. Dan Riehl and […]

Remember the anti-war “hunger strike?” You know, the one that allows you to consume sherbet-loaded Jamba Juice, ice cream, and coffee? Well, Smash reports another staple of the moonbat deprivation plan: Beer! Wonder if Katie Couric has been “fasting” on the Cindy Sheehan plan, too?

Via Drudge comes this report that a CBS News local station in Minneapolis confiscated the pen of a local blogger covering Katie Couric’s Meet The Little People tour: Katie Couric’s series of focus-group meetings with community groups across the country — without the presence of the news media — ran into a snag in Minneapolis […]

Down Under, an Australian Katie Couric wannabe got busted by a Brigadier General who didn’t go along with her MSM stage managers. Background here. I’d like to see more of that pushback here in the U.S. Anyway, the face-off between the general and the bubblehead is my video clip of the week–along with some classic […]

Hot Air affiliate Ian Schwartz has a video tribute to the departing Today Show star. Fly away! NBC is making the most of it: According to buyers, the network is charging $110,000 for a 30-second spot in Ms. Couric’s final appearance on ‘Today.”

Credit: Strange Cosmos/Strange Politics Reader Lynda sends along word that NBC News is soliciting one-minute farewell videos to commemorate Katie Couric’s departure from the Today Show.

Scripps reports in Florida: The Stars and Stripes have been replaced by the Mexican flag at Chasewood North, and residents of the condominium community off Central Boulevard are puzzled as to who made the switch. “I woke up Sunday morning and looked up from my patio and then realized that the American flag wasn’t on […]

Katie Couric pays tribute to anti-gun, Bush-bashing zealot Mike Wallace, who is retiring from 60 Minutes. Giggled Couric this morning: He’s “studly.” Ick. Download and watch the clip (.wmv file). Hat tip: Allah Pundit and Newsbusters

Liberal bloggers, fresh from mauling Washington Post ombudsman Deborah Howell and launching a boycott campaign against, snort, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, are now targeting Katie Couric for her “right-wing bias.” (Hat tip: Lorie Byrd at Polipundit) Chuckle. Snort. Guffaw. I’ve uploaded the exchange between Couric and DNC chair Howard Dean over Jack Abramoff and his associates’ […]

My latest column blasts the “good” leak/”bad” leak and “whistleblower”/”felon” memes now being used by the Left to defend the NYT/NSA story. To the Times’ defenders, keeping secrets to protect counterterrorism operations is an impeachable offense, but keeping secrets to protect the Gray Lady’s fanny is an elite media prerogative. The latest Cox & Forkum […]

Robin Boyd at Newsbusters notes that the Associated Press is playing book publicist for NYTimes reporter James Risen, whose book blabbing about the Bush administration’s classified counterterrorism programs is out today: The AP has earned quite a reputation of ignoring the positive reports out of Iraq and painting with a broad brush of negativity. They […]

A picture’s worth a thousand words NRAnews.com blogger/radio host Cam Edwards wondered why CBS News allowed 60 Minutes host Mike Wallace to appear at an anti-gun Brady Center event late last month. Edwards describes the appearance: That’s Mike Wallace two weeks ago at a Brady Center fundraiser in Washington, D.C. At the event, held at […]

The thought of 48-year-old Katie Couric in low-rise jeans and a metallic silver thong (scroll down, 7th item under “Sightings”). Classy.

From the Democratic Underground: – Its (sic) a war. My country’s army is killing civilians; am I a “fair target?” – the root causes of terrorism are what needs to be addressed in order to get a handle on changing these circumstances. There are myriads (literally) of terrorists who have reasons for what they are […]

According to Drudge, John Kerry repeats an oft-used line in an interview with Katie Couric today to show he’s tough on homeland security: Well, I do know that America will be safe. Under my leadership. Because we’re gonna not allow 95 percent of American containers to come in uninspected.” Kerry and his minions use the […]
