IN WHAT WAY is it appropriate for a news reader who claims to be objective, fair and balanced, to then expound her personal left-wing opinions, expecting us to swallow them whole?
(1) She is a NEWS READER, dictating material from a teleprompter. She appears to have gotten the job because there is something wrong with her mouth. It makes her news reading rather unique, like watching a one-legged man ride a unicycle.
(2) Being a news reader does not make her an expert on anything. She has no credentials which qualify her as an expert on any element on the news. She fails to point this out, apparently hoping others will not notice.
(3) She wants to expound vague left-wing political opinions, while at the same time claiming to be fair and objective in her ‘reportage’, such as it is.
Couric needs to decide whether she is a voice with a crooked mouth, a reporter with objectivity, or an editor expressing weighty opinion. She certainly cannot ethically claim to be all three.
Judging from her ratings, I suggest that she is none of the above.
