Katie Couric on The Today Show was even "more liberal" than Katie Couric!

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

He listens to Rush Limbaugh, etc., so I know where he heard it. My only consolation is he is very unhappy with the Republicans right now. All of them.

13. The Dad has a very unusual sense of humor
I think he’s just trying to provoke an argument, which O.K.

Before I voted the first time I asked him what the differences between Democrats and Republicans were and he told me that the Democrats are usually more for the working man and that the Republicans are usually more for business.

I’ve yet find this description wrong.

He also told me who he was voting for in that election and told me that I should make up my own mind.

9. The Right hates Katie Kirk (I pronounce her name "Kirk")
They label her a militant feminist and a trendy Hollywood liberal.

11. The Right is crazy.
Katie is not a liberal. Not a feminist.
What I think is funny is that Meridith and Matt Lauer both got started in Rhode Island On Channel 10. Different years. I remember them. Especially Meridith

10. The Today Show is joke
What does it matter the politics of who co-anchors it? They cover news for maybe 15 minutes in the first half hour. The rest is the "freak crime news story of the day" for the last half of the first hour. Then they discuss health issues to sell new drugs or do stories to tell us how christian we are for the rest of the morning.

14. Well yes your right but
I get sick of the horrible state of affairs going on around me and like to see what else is out there. Puts me in a decent mood to get through the day.

12. Meredith Viera IS a liberal

15. I wonder how she'll do on a right wing show on a right wing network.
Actually, I'm a bit surprised they hired her. Perhaps they put talent over politics. Perhaps they realize the wind is beginning to blow from a new direction, and they are making changes to accommodate that change.

Who knows, it will be interesting to see how she handles it all.
