News by Focus Group.... LOL

You Gotta love the MSM when they are not touting the Democrat hate America party line, you would think they would be trying to figure out how to get the Bias out of their platform. Instead the have Little Miss Terminaly Perky Katie tromping around asking "select groups" how she should do her new job ....What a bunch of Maroons

CBS STATION ATTEMPTS TO BAR BLOGGER FROM COURIC MEETING

Katie Couric's series of focus-group meetings with community groups across the country -- without the presence of the news media -- ran into a snag in Minneapolis Tuesday when a staffer for WCCO-TV attempted to disinvite Matt Bartel, who operates the local MNSpeak.com blog, then compromised by allowing him to surrender his pen. Bartel seemed unfazed by his treatment. ""I thought the event was worthwhile," he wrote on the blog Wednesday. "I wish the discussion had been open to more people and the media, but the people who were there were, for the most part, great." But the Associated Press quoted Jane Kirtley, a University of Minnesota ethics professor, as saying, "At a time when the news media is trying to gain the trust through transparency, to have a meeting closed to the media and the general public is unbelievable." Other critics of the CBS meetings offered sharper criticism, observing that television news executives and reporters should be in the business of interesting their audiences in significant news events, not merely catering to their existing interests.
