Katie Couric has admitted to 'protecting' Ruth Bader Ginsburg from public backlash by cutting out negative comments she made about people who kneel during the national anthem. The former Today show host reveals in her new book that she let her personal political views influence her editing decisions during her 2016 interview with the late Supreme Court justice.In new memoir, Going There, Couric writes that she edited out a part where Ginsburg said that those who kneel during the national anthem are showing 'contempt for a government that has made it possible for their parents and grandparents to live a decent life.'

Every time I see anything about 'Too Cute by Half Couric', I want to blow chunks. She makes me puke. If they were trying to protect anything, it was the ridiculous cult of personality that the left built around RBG, whom they secretly wanted to die off so Obama could appoint a younger commie. RBG was a crappy jurist on her best day, but occasionally even a blind squirrel finds a nut, and she was old enough to understand how ridiculous this kneeling garbage was and is.

Read her quote carefully. FTA: “contempt for a government that made a decent life possible”. The government is not responsible for making ‘decent life possible’ not now, not ever. The government creates nothing. We, the people do. If she considered the anthem an ode to the government, this simply underscores how little the late jurist understood this country, its founding and history.

I saw the quote about government making a decent life possible and to an extent, agree with it. Imagine if our government had lost WWII. How decent would any American's life be now? And I know it was soldiers, sailors, Marines, Merchant Marines, and airmen who fought the war but look at how many wars since WWII have been "lost" by our government and not the men and women who fought in them, most recently Afghanistan. Our government built the interstate highway system and fostered the safest aviation infrastructure in the world. Good government, one that puts the Constitution ahead of mob rule, is not the hindrance to American prosperity and freedom that we see on a daily basis from Biden's Bad government. RGB was more a proponent of Bad government but that doesn't make her statement with regard to kneeling false.

Perhaps if Couric had lived in the 1940s she wold have edited out any references to Nazi Death Camps then because she’d have felt that they reflected badly on socialism … would want to portray the Nazis as bad people.

Just because Ginsburg was 83 does not mean that she did not understand the question. She understood it quite well but Perky Katie did not like her answer so she changed it. That's called bias editing. Katie also is slamming the over 80 crowd. I hope no one buys her nasty book. Katie also hung out with Jeffrey Epstein. What does that tell you about her?

Well, #11, the NY Times did whitewash what was going on in Germany, as they whitewashed the truth of Soviet Russia. The Times' motives may be up for discussion, the lies are on record. Couric's admission (bragging?) is so heinous yet she's just another cog in an ugly, overarching machine, I can only pray for a reckoning.

You're all wrong. The precursor to prosperity is not "the government" or "the people". It's the Constitution. Ginsburg was actually delivering a mean girl insult to the Constitution by celebrating social welfare programs of the federal government which fare exceed their Constitutional mandate. Katie was too dumb to play along.

Once upon a time the government exercised a modicum of restraint with regard to infringing on the Constitution. So there is one sense in which RGB's remark has validity -- the government stayed out of the people's lives for the most part, which allowed the vineyard of freedom to bear the fruits of prosperity.

President Joe Biden is, once again, begging for oil.Among the torrent of executive orders President Joe Biden signed on his first day in office was the canceling of the permit to continue construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. The pipeline would have run from the Gulf of Mexico up to and laterally across Canada, thereby furthering U.S. energy independence, a hallmark of the Trump presidency.As of June 9th, the project is officially terminated (at least for now) having already killed thousands of jobs for seemingly no other reason than Biden’s proclivity for putting America last on the world stage, as evidenced by the fact that he later

Riley also told the contact to remove footage from all social media accounts, according to Friday's indictment. Following the insurrection, three dozen officers were investigated for misconduct, six of whom were suspended with pay. The Jan. 6 commission has been working to enforce subpoenas for those believed to have been involved in the insurrection or to have knowledge of actions preceding the event.

You’d think that an organization called the “National Council on Family Relations” would be pro-family, or at least not actively anti-family. You’d be wrong.As The Federalist reports, “Despite its name, the National Council on Family Relations is looking to destroy American families. It claims that the nuclear family – consisting of father, mother, and children – is merely an extension of white supremacy.”Such a dire claim is, in fact, mostly substantiated by NCFR’s own words.
