Well, this should be fun to watch - Missouri rejects Obamacare. Obama to sue? Couric and her "explosive" video

I wasted five minutes of my day watching the "explosive"  video of Katie Couric "mocking" the names of Sarah Palin's sons, thereby "proving" her bias.  Folks, this was nothing more than a run-through of her program where, when first reading the names Track and Trig, she questioned where they came up with these names.  I would have done the same thing.  She is also accused of making fun of Wasilla, when in fact she was trying to ascertain the correct pronunciation - something I wish more TV reporters would do when having to report on a location with an unusual name.  And, let's face it, Wasilla does sound funny.

I am in no way implying that Ms Couric was not biased with her reporting of Sarah Palin.   To focus on beauty pageants and moose burgers while ignoring Palin's many accomplishments was certainly biased and  and meant to show her as "not a serious person."  Couric, as well as most every MSM reporter (I refuse to call them journalists), were obviously out to "get" Sarah Palin.  The recent Journolist outings made that patently clear.

However, to bandy about this silly video and call it "explosive" and "proof" of bias, makes the right look as silly as the left.

A sobering article from the Daily Pundit:

Modern Times

[...]Our rulers have little regard for our opinions, except to the extent they can manipulate them. And when they are not treating us like criminals – things get worse. They treat us like children. And naughty children at that.

We are now advised by the government in a thousand ways that life has become far too complex for mere citizens to manage. Important decisions must now be assigned not to the individual, but to panels of qualified authorities, because they are learned, and they are thoughtful, and they most certainly know what is best for us.  read the rest
