Back in 2007 and 2008, it was remarkable watching Barack Obama treated to one puffball interview after another, courtesy of Steve Kroft on “60 Minutes.” Kroft compared him to Abe Lincoln and oozed about his “political poetry.” But it’s simply irresponsible, after three and a half years of President Obama wrecking the economy, that CBS — now with anchor Charlie Rose — is still in puffery mode.
There’s a certain level of contempt on the part of CBS. It could and should focus its attention on the plight of every family struggling with unemployment or a house that’s underwater financially or facing its loss of religious liberties with a federal government drunk with power. CBS chose instead to waste most of the interview asking the Obamas about summer vacations, where they’d like to travel in the world and whether there’s still mystery in their marriage.
This was not what they call in the business a “newsmaker interview,” even though there is no greater newsmaker in this country than the president. This must have reminded Obama of his teenage years at Baskin-Robbins, because Rose seemed to be making him a triple-scoop sundae, with chocolate and sprinkles on top.
Anyone who tuned in to “Sunday Morning” for the hard news would have “questions” like these:
– “It’s not a bad place to live.” (the White House) “Well, you got a basketball court; you got a tennis court. You have a fountain. You can see the Washington Monument.”
– “How are you going to spend your summer? … What is summer vacation?”

CBS, et al major media including FOX, are stll acting irresponsibly by not giving any traction to the question as to why Obama’s Social Security Number geographic code (the first 3 digits) is a Connecticutt geographic code despite there being no evidence in the public domain that he ever lived in Connecticutt?
I stopped watching CBS, Complete Bull Shit………..when they had Katie Couric, the little head buttwipe on as the news anchor. She is a rude, self righteous, self centered, self involved useless tit, a pimple on the behind of America and everyone she speaks to. She is good for one single thing, to kiss the arse of the Disease in Office. She literally DROOLED over his name, and over him when she had the chances to do so. I stopped watching her one night when she became extremely rude to Sarah Palin. Rude isn’t even a good word for the way she behaved and spoke to Sarah. Interupting every sentence with some rather derogatory remarks, and upbraided Sarah each chance she got. By the end of it, I despised her and her face, and every other thing about her. And, she is only one of the many Buttwipes across the country, doing what they seem to do best these days, kissing ass. And none of them are worth watching, or listening to a word they say. You can hear the smack, smack. smack of the lips as they continue to kiss the foul rearend of this MU SLIME who means to destroy not only us, but them also, when, if, he becomes The First American DICK TATOR!!!! And I sincerely hope, for OUR sakes, that he does not achieve this goal. But what I do hope, is that when we are able to take our country back, that we rid ourselves of the Enemies in the Lame Stream Media, for they are nothing more than TRAITORS TO THIS NATION OF OURS!!!!!! CBS, ABC AND NBC HAVE ALL TURNED ON AMERICA, AND IN SO DOING, TURNED AGAINST AMERICANS THEMSELVES!!!!! This should not go UNPUNISHED!!!
What you say about perky Katie Couric is all true.I used to call her Katie C–trag.Her husband didn't die of natural causes he committed suicide.I just wonder how many Lewinskys she gave Sambo that Moochella never knew about.This devious traitor got what she deserved because she sucked as an anchor on CBS. I never could understand why people thought that she was so cheery, the slut was nothing but an Obutthole ass kisser.
Oh Edward, if you ONLY KNEW THE WORDS/THINGS THAT I HAVE CALLED THIS EXCREMENT FACED LITTLE $(@&!)^ I mean, every nasty word in the English/American language! She literally makes me sick to my stomach, she’d “gag a buzzard off a gut wagon”, as my dad was fond of saying about things that made him sick! She is just one in a long line of disgusting and revolting examples of buttwipes and butt kissers in what is called the “media”. Diane Sawyer has now become the same. I can’t listen to her either, looking at her is sickening. Hearing her speak in that soft oh, so sickeningly “sweet” tone makes me want to head for the Throne………..and hurl until there is nothing left. So, I no longer watch any of it. I can’t think of enough names, things, insults to call any of them. Except TRAITORS, and as such, HANG EVERY ONE OF THEM FOR THEIR TREASON! To see them, and every single one of the TRAITORS in the Capitol, and all of Washington DC would be a cause for great celebration! I do not drink, but if I live long enough to see each of these scum, these TRAITORS hang for their CRIMES AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, I will go buy a bottle of champagne and drink the whole thing!!!!!! I’d have a headache, but that would be in itself, a pleasure, because it would be less pain than ever having to see a one of those Disease Loving Germs ever fouling up the tv screen, and infecting our nation with their lies………..and they all KNOW THEY ARE LIARS AND TRAITORS!!!!!!!!! Katie, cheery my ass. She is about as cheery as a dead, rotting corpse on the side of the road.
Your right Diane Sawyer sucks she a one sided bitch but so is Barbara WaWa Walters hell in her hey day she was one of the first women to run around with a spook and then you take that idiot Andrea Mitchell who like Poopalosi had their asses pulled up to their faces to make them look younger as if it helps them.I don't watch NBC,CBS,CNN,ABC or any of the liberal media so called news networks so i Don't know the new idiots both men and women posing as fair news reporters or commentators.
