Do not misconstrue this as misogyny for if I had my druthers it would be women that I conduct my daily dealings with almost exclusively. Whether it be giving me a massage, banking, shining my shoes, cleaning my apartment (she has a green card... I think), making my coffee, and most importantly -- pulling me a pint after work to name just a few of the activities that I prefer performed by women in a G rated environment, and if I watched network news and was a heathen hippie.... I am sure Katie would be my gal.
In fact two of our most loyal readers, Anita and Gary are chicks -- heck the only two blogs, Miss C and Jane, that I still read with any regularity are obviously written by ladies. Hey ladies in the place Im callin out to ya.....
But Katie has got to go....
It matters naught if the library story was plagiarized or written by a staffer, the fact remains she knowingly lied to the American public about a meaningless fluff piece told in the first person. What other more important issues has she reported without first fact checking I wonder?
Now the spin is on that she did not know that the story was stolen from the Journal, okay Ill buy the plausible deniability excuse, but she knew for a fact that she did not write it and that is all that matters.
Obviously Dan Rather before her set the bar pretty low, but network broadcasters are supposed to be above reproach, they are supposed to have integrity, they are not some hack opinion circus barkers like a Hannity or Olbermann. They are supposed to be journalists and they damn well better tell the truth and when they are caught violating the two sacred cows of journalistic ethics -- lying and stealing (or is it rhyming and stealing?) .....
They has gots to go.....
