14. Message I emailed Katie Couric
Katie,

I will echo the sentiments of this link:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/cenk-uygur/real-winner-of...

Thank goodness you had the integrity to ask real questions, and demand real answers. Thank you for not accepting talking points and gibberish as answers. Without your efforts I fear that the American public would never have gotten a true look at Sarah Palin's real level of knowledge and intellect.

I will now consider CBS news and you a must for accurate and comprehensive news coverage. I have been so impressed with you! Great job, keep it up! Don't let them get away with answering with talking points, from either side.

A new fan.
