CBS News anchor Katie Couric, the talking airhead, tried her best to make Sarah Palin look like a 'dumb' conservative. Perhaps Couric should do some serious introspection before doing that to anyone else.
Before and after Obama's speech Tuesday night, Couric, as usual, played up the 'support Obama' rhetoric with her comments, such as 'The American people overwhelmingly support Obama's plan for the country,' and 'President Obama has an enormous amount of political capital to spend.'
Yet she turned right around and cited several polls that show the complete fallacy of the words she had just spoken.
For example, she stated that only approximately 33%-39% of Americans support bailouts for the automakers, Wall Street, and those who can't pay their home mortgages.
Excuse me, Ms. Couric, but the figures you cited in those polls clearly do NOT show that 'Americans overwhelmingly support Obama's plan for the country.' Are you not aware, Ms. Couric, that those figures show exactly the OPPOSITE of what you said?
Perhaps you are NOT aware. If that is the case, then you are without doubt the biggest ignoramus to ever occupy an anchor's chair.
But if you ARE aware of the contradiction, then you just lied to the American public.
And you people wonder why Americans in ever-increasing numbers say they do not trust the mainstream news media. You are either too dumb to recognize a blatant contradiction in reporting, or you deliberately lie to the public. In either case you do not exactly inspire confidence on the part of the viewing public.

Couric/CBS News Lied
Tonight's broadcast of Katie Couric's CBS Evening News was replete with more lies on behalf of the Obama campaign.
First, Couric and CBS lied about the 'fact check' process on McCain and Obama during last night's debate. Supposedly, Obama's tax plan will enable small businesses to get a tax cut, thus helping 'Plumber Joe.' This is according to some watchdog group.
The assertion is FALSE. Under Obama, who wishes to allow the Bush tax cuts to expire, everyone will experience the largest tax increase in U.S. history. Interesting that NOBODY takes into account the INCREASES in taxes that will come when Obama-Democrats allow the Bush tax cuts to expire. This skews the figures of the 'facts check' organizations and assumptions about the Obama tax plan.
As I have repeatedly stated, you cannot claim to lower taxes for 95% of Americans if you will let the Bush tax cuts expire. THAT will RAISE taxes automatically on everyone.
Plumber Joe, therefore, will get hit hard even if Obama does nothing but allow the present system of tax cuts to expire in 2010. This is the dirty little secret Democrats don't want you to know, and CBS/Couric are helping them lie about it.
Second, Couric pointed to some poll showing that Obama supposedly beat McCain in last night's debate by an outrageous percentage, 52-29%.
That poll is SKEWED. The samples CBS and the New York Times use are heavily loaded up with Democrat participants, making their polls patently FALSE.
Third, CBS came to Obama's aid in trashing Plumber Joe by bringing up a tax bill he owes the state of Ohio--a mere $1200 or so. But the report was worded in such a way that Joe's reputation was impugned. This is unconscionable. And this is the way Obama and his mainstream media morons do business.
Fourth, CBS/Couric showed a video of Joe supposedly admitting today that under the Obama plan he would get a tax cut. If he did actually say that, it was because of the CBS-Couric blather that hides the expiration of the Bush tax cut in 2010, which will dramatically increase taxes on every single human being who pays taxes in this country.
CBS-Couric-mainstream reporters are pathetic.
