Mizz Katie, Dominatrix of P.C. News, feels the tip of the whip on her boohiney. Ouch

by Angela Durden

Ever hear of 60 Minutes? 20/20? Network news shows? Newspapers? News magazines? Sure you have. What do all these have in common?

Low reader and viewer counts, that's what.

Why have these been losing readers and viewers? Because the writers, editors, and producers think all folks are stupid and gullible, and they believe they are brilliant and have all the answers, so they continue to feed packs of lies in support of their politically correct agendas by doing just what Katie Couric did in her, chuckle-chuckle, latest search for understanding of another's viewpoint. 

Here's the latest spin-kerfuffle Couric has gotten into: Click this link to see and read more about it. 

When called on it -- with evidence showing the manipulation -- Couric quickly delivered her non-apology and told us how she herself questioned the editing, but that she allowed her producer to talk her into it -- poetic license and all that in the service of higher journalism, blah, blah, blah.

 Yes, yes! Couric's producer fell on her sword and took full responsibility for those eight long seconds of silence -- the producer called them a beat (notice the singular usage when 8 is definitely plural) -- interspliced with quick cuts of the faces of those being interviewed on the Serious Subject of Guns. 

That silence and those quick cuts  -- deliberately chosen and placed just so -- made the interviewees look: 

Stupid. 

Guilty. 

Ashamed. 

Inattentive. 

And nuts. 

Which, of course, Mizz Katie believes all people who don't believe like her are, and so the edit did exactly what she wanted it to do. 

Eight seconds of silence is a long time in TV. Especially if it is eight seconds of spin to drive a politically correct narrative -- and you get caught spinning. 

The new media is being made by those who are tired of the spin. People such as little ol' me, who are tired of being fed the party line no matter what party it is, and who are embedded in the front lines of their businesses, their communities, and so forth, are stepping up to the plate and telling it like it is and we will find a way to get that message out. 

This blog is part of that new media. Thank you for reading it.
