[Curly Bill]

No doubt she's a liberal tart, but beyond that she was just plain damn annoying.

[SoonerNate]

The 3:15 mark is so ironic these days.

[ouwasp]

heh... Katie-girl should go to a mooslem country and look for a job, she feels so sorry for them. Oh, don't forget the burkha!

[Sooner_Tuf]

Who is Noone? I watched that whole clip full of drivel and I still see why he watched her.

[GKeeper316]

nobody watched katie couric because she isn't fun to look at. women aren't considered to be "distinguished" as they age. they just get dried up and wrinkley.

it was a mistake to put her on the air as a network news anchor.

[KABOOKIE]

Now if only someone can do the same with Dianne Sawyer on ABC. Gawd she's awful.

[Turd_Ferguson]

Now if only someone can do the same with Dianne Sawyer on ABC. Gawd she's awful.I'd still hit it...

[jk the sooner fan]

she quotes her daughter

newsworthy.......

[CrimsonCream]

I'm not a Sarah Palin fan but I didn't like the way Couric tried to embarrass her like Charles Gibson did. The backlash was so bad over Gibson that he "retired." The American people have a sense of fair play.

Why didn't the corrupt Media ask Obama the names of Rulers of obscure countries like they did Bush? Because they are biased and corrupt. There is not much objectivity left in Journalism.

This sounds like OSU fans about the DOK. just saying.

That's what I was thinking. Jesus Christ, all she does is read the friggin news. I think some of them are still upset that she asked Sarah Palin that oh so difficult question, "what newspapers or magazines do you read." I guess that was attack journalism.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

I dropped one about 4 courics last night

[OULenexaman]

next time make a few sawyers too....

Yeah, and some of you guys still think the Media is unbiased.

So Why Is Soros Spending Over $48 Million Funding Media Organizations?

By Dan Gainor

Published May 18, 2011

It’s a scene journalists dream about – a group of coworkers toasting a Pulitzer Prize. For the team at investigative start-up ProPublica, it was the second time their fellow professionals recognized their work for journalism’s top honor.

For George Soros and ProPublica’s other liberal backers, it was again proof that a strategy of funding journalism was a powerful way to influence the American public.

It’s a strategy that Soros has been deploying extensively in media both in the United States and abroad. Since 2003, Soros has spent more than $48 million funding media properties, including the infrastructure of news – journalism schools, investigative journalism and even industry organizations.

And that number is an understatement. It is gleaned from tax forms, news stories and reporting. But Soros funds foundations that fund other foundations in turn, like the Tides Foundation, which then make their own donations. A complete accounting is almost impossible because a media component is part of so many Soros-funded operations.

It turns out that Soros’ influence doesn’t just include connections to top mainstream news organizations such as NBC, ABC, The New York Times and Washington Post.

It’s bought him connections to the underpinnings of the news business. The Columbia Journalism Review, which bills itself as “a watchdog and a friend of the press in all its forms,” lists several investigative reporting projects funded by one of Soros foundations.

The “News Frontier Database” includes seven different investigative reporting projects funded by Soros’ Open Society Institute. Along with ProPublica, there are the Center for Public Integrity, the Center for Investigative Reporting and New Orleans’ The Lens. The Columbia School of Journalism, which operates CJR, has received at least $600,000 from Soros, as well.

Imagine if conservative media punching bags David and Charles Koch had this many connections to journalists. Even if the Kochs could find journalists willing to support conservative media (doubtful), they would be skewered by the left.
For Soros, it’s news, but it nothing new.

According to “Soros: The Life and Times of a Messianic Billionaire,” he has been fascinated by media from when he was a boy where early career interests included “history or journalism or some form of writing.”

He served as “editor-in-chief, publisher, and news vendor of” his own paper, “The Lupa News” and wrote a wall newspaper in his native Hungary before leaving, wrote author Michael T. Kaufman, a 40-year New York Times veteran. The Communist Party “encouraged” such papers.

Now as one of the world’s richest men (No. 46 on Forbes’ list), he gets to indulge his dreams. Since those dreams seem to involve controlling media from the ground up, Soros naturally started with Columbia University’s School of Journalism. Columbia is headed by President Lee Bollinger, who also sits on the Pulitzer Prize board and the board of directors of The Washington Post.

Bollinger, like some of Soros’ other funding recipients, is pushing for journalism to find a new sugar daddy or at least an uncle – Uncle Sam. Bollinger wrote in his book “Uninhibited, Robust, and Wide-Open: A Free Press for a New Century” that government should fund media.

A 2009 study by Columbia’s journalism program came to the same conclusion, calling for “a national fund for local news.”

Conveniently, Len Downie, the lead author of that piece, is on both the Post’s board and the board of the Center for Investigative Reporting, also funded by Soros.

Soros funds more than just the most famous journalism school in the nation.
There are journalism industry associations like:

• The National Federation of Community Broadcasters;
• The National Association of Hispanic Journalists;
• And the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Readers unhappy with Soros’ media influence might be tempted to voice concerns to the Organization of News Ombudsmen – a professional group devoted to “monitoring accuracy, fairness and balance.”

Perhaps they might consider a direct complaint to one such as NPR’s Alicia Shepard or PBS’s Michael Getler, both directors of the organization.

Unfortunately, that group is also funded by Soros. At the bottom of the Organization of News Ombudsmen’s website front page is the line: “Supported by the Open Society Institute,” a Soros foundation. It is the only organization so listed.

The group’s membership page lists 57 members from around globe and features:
• Deirdre Edgar, readers’ representative of The Los Angeles Times;
• Brent Jones, standards editor, USA Today;
• Kelly McBride, ombudsman, ESPN;
• Patrick Pexton, ombudsman, The Washington Post.

The site doesn’t address whether the OSI money creates a conflict of interest. But then, who could readers complain to anyway?
There’s more.

The Open Society Institute is one of several foundations funding the Investigative News Network (INN), a collaboration of 32 non-profit news organizations producing what they claim is “non-partisan investigative news.”

The James L. Knight Foundation also backs the network and is possibly the most-well-known journalism foundation. Knight President and CEO Alberto Ibargüen is on the board of directors for ProPublica.

INN includes the Investigative Reporting Workshop at American University, the liberal web start-up MinnPost, National Institute for Computer-Assisted Reporting, National Public Radio, and the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism.

The network had included the liberal Huffington Post investigative operation among its grants, but HuffPo investigations merged with the possibly even more left-wing Center for Public Integrity, on whose board Arianna Huffington sits.
Liberal academic programs, left-wing investigative journalism and even supposedly neutral news organizations all paid for by a man who spends tens of millions of dollars openly attacking the right. George Soros is teaching journalists that their industry has a future as long as he opens his wallet.

Female dictating to me whats going on in the world = no thanks. Pretty simple really. Probably a common theme among men/those who actually watch world news.

Obama has shown us that he has NO ANSWERS!
He can only blame and vilify everyone else from Booosh to the Tea Party and racists!

[StoopTroup]

I guess you're right....Osama Bin Laden wasn't a question....it was more of a statement....

I'm gonna go take a Herman Cain now. I wonder if I'll have to flush twice?

[Frozen Sooner]

Irony right there.

[Turd_Ferguson]

I'm gonna go take a Herman Cain now. I wonder if I'll have to flush twice?Just curious, why do you think Herman is a piece of ****?

[Turd_Ferguson]

Irony right there.I don't think irony means what you think it means...

[StoopTroup]

Just curious, why do you think Herman is a piece of ****?

I don't....I think his speeches are what gets my colon flowin'

[StoopTroup]

I just altered and abolished another Turd....

[Turd_Ferguson]

You couldn't alter nor abolish this Turd if ya tried...

[StoopTroup]

He's gonna phase 2 the economy with "The Fair Tax" of course....we can't do that until we elect him POTUS and teach "WE THE PEOPLE" what he thinks is fair....lol

[StoopTroup]

He's gonna stimulate the economy with a TAX....yep....A TAX!

So that we can grow the Economy. In the by and by....Paul Ryan sits back trying to stop spending and forcing the current President to not raise Taxes.

It all about as good as going to see the Barnum and Bailey Circus....lol

[StoopTroup]

Phase one....Phase Turd....

BRB...I gotta go again....

[StoopTroup]

I'm wondering if phase 3 - Having some folks who don't work in China or India will supercharge us enough jobs to pay into his "Fair Tax" and Stimulate the Economy.

Drill here...drill now Right here in America?

Wonder where he's getting his money from....lol

What happens when we run out of oil in 2030 Hermie?

[sanantoniosooner]

I think I've figured out how you cracked 50k

I would say he is full of chit...but at the current time that can't be the case...

[soonerhubs]

I think I've figured out how you cracked 50k

:D







































To be clear, this is a smile at the word crack because it made me think of a butt-crack... Not crack cocaine.

[StoopTroup]

Immigration

1) Secure the Border....sounds easy....Give Arizona enough money to war a Border War? I'm not getting it I guess. Let the Sheriffs do it...

2) Enforce the laws that are already there. (Now...does that mean the laws that were there now or the laws that were there after Jan Brewer jumped into it all? I'm confused?)

3) Enforce the path to citizenship that's already there. (I'm guessing he's saying "Do what we are doing right now?) Ask the millions of people who came here legally! (We did...they want amnesty...WTH are you saying?)

4) Empower the States to do it! Ummmm....GWB was there ( A TEXAN!) for 8 years. What exactly do you know that the Greatest President in History didn't?

[StoopTroup]

I think I've figured out how you cracked 50k

Right now....you better worry about your 20,000.

[StoopTroup]

I like to give my message like Herman....

IN PHASES

It's so you the people can take it in slowly....connect the dots. I do not want to over-whelm any of you.

[StoopTroup]

12 years ago Herman's Grandchild was being born....

Finally after 3 days of searching for a damn plane....he made it Home to see the SLOW BABY! He finally after a trek to Mecca....he finally had a Grand baby! She was waiting on Grandad just like you all have been waiting on Herman!

Praise the Lord

Vote for me in 2012!

But....Would it hurt for him to get his-self a Prius? :D

[delhalew]

It could hurt. You total a Prius if you hit a Labrador.

[badger]

I don't think it had anything to do with politics, as many probably find all television media (aside from Fox News) to have a liberal bias, not just Katie.

Really, I think it was because Katie was new, and people like to stick with familiar faces when it comes to media on television.

[StoopTroup]

It could hurt. You total a Prius if you hit a Labrador.

Who makes The Labrador? Chrysler?

[Blue]

I'm not getting it I guess.



No ****?

Must be a Canadian make...
