Raw CBS Video: Katie Couric Caught Mocking Sarah Palin & Kids in 2008 When She Was Announced as McCain’s VP Running Mate (video)
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on August 4, 2010
From February 2010: Clueless Katie 'Marie Antoinette' Couric provocatively posing in 'Harper's Bazaar' designer fashion feature, released the same week that hundreds of CBS News employees lost their jobs due to falling viewership... and how ARE all those unemployed CBS co-workers doing now, Katie?
The raw video below was taped at CBS Evening News with anchor Katie Couric, back in 2008 on the first day of then-unknown Sarah Palin’s vice president announcement. It was never meant to be seen by the public… I can only imagine other raw video footage of Couric and her lefist ilk that ripped similarly into the Alaskan governor and her family on Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, et cetera.
The left-wing bias against John McCain’s running mate had to escalate. It was obvious from Day 1 that Gov. Palin’s political background and accomplishments exceeded that of the Democrats’ community organizer. Barack Obama’s obviously thin, uncomfortably questionable, and unimpressive résumé had to be protected, so Palin and her family were thrown under the left-wing media bus by leftist hacks like Couric.
And they still are.

From Gateway Pundit, EXPLOSIVE: Leftist Katie Couric Caught on Tape Mocking Sarah Palin On Day She Was Announced as Running Mate (Video):
In July we found out that hundreds of leftist media members on Journolist were conspiring to alter the results of the 2008 elections in favor of far left radical Barack Obama. Now comes explosive video that Katie Couric was mocking Sarah Palin on the day she was announced as John McCain’s running mate.
Keepin’ it classy, eh, Katie? Journalistic integrity sorely lacking here.
Katie Couric RAW: Leaked Footage of Couric Mocking Sarah Palin (FULL) | 2008
From Conservatives4Palin:
As you can see, the video shows Katie Couric preparing to go on the air on the day John McCain announced Governor Palin as his running mate. It shows some tantalizing hints of Couric’s attitude toward the Governor–when talking about first Trig, then Track, Couric says “where the hell do they get these [names]?…” At that point the producer running the sound board shut off the sound because he or she didn’t want to have Couric’s disdainful and contemptuous view of Governor Palin’s children captured on even an internal CBS tape that they never expected would see the light of day. You can tell this by the “OMG!” reaction of the CBS news employees who were in the control room as Couric said that about the Governor’s kids. This video also shows Couric taking a shot at female basketball players and at Governor Palin’s hometown, one of the fastest growing areas in the country, and the fifth largest city in Alaska.
There’s a larger story here, of course.
It’s not just what was said by Couric in her discussion of Governor Palin, but also the way CBS framed the narrative of Governor Palin’s life in their story.
The script covers moose burgers, her kids, her being a former beauty queen and being on the cover of Vogue. Sarah Palin was a sitting governor, and at that time, before the Obama campaign and their allies in the press spent months relentlessly smearing her good name, she had the highest approval ratings of any governor in the country. She was also responsible for getting the largest energy project in North American history underway after several decades of interminable delays in Alaska. She was a courageous corruption-busting whistleblower who turned in the leader of her own party in Alaska for his corrupt practices. She was a fiscal conservative who made the largest veto cuts in Alaska history, reined in the reckless waste, cut her own expenses, sold the governor’s private jet, let the personal chef go, and put away billions of dollars in savings for Alaska for a rainy day. She was a tough CEO who went toe to toe with the Big Oil companies and fought to get the best deal for Alaskans, the resource owners she represented. And she did all of this as a woman from a modest background who was entirely self-made – without the benefit of a rich or influential father or husband.
But what in this impressive biography did CBS News and Couric choose to focus on? Moose burgers and beauty pageants.
By their choice of the framing of the story, it’s evident Couric and CBS had an agenda here: They wanted to diminish Governor Palin because her impressive record of accomplishments towered over the non-existent record of the guy at the top of Democrat ticket.

It all comes out at some time or another. Look, POTUS far left leaners are now calling him an “elitist” and a hater of blacks. Listen to them on Al Sharpton’s show.
