Katy Couric: Political Cartoon-4

Katy Couric is among the newscasters who have been viewed as biased against candidates based on their interview questions. The first image in the cartoon is Katy Couric sitting in a chair across from John McCain and Sarah Palin, with a skeptical expression. The represents the interview that she conducted with Sarah Palin and how it seemed to display her political preferences rather openly. The second image is Sarah Palin in a doll case holding a rifle. The box is labeled “Extra! Tina Fey mini-me!” The side of the box is a parody of the John McCain and Sarah Palin campaign poster; it says “Geezer/Gidget.” John McCain is saying, “*Sigh* Go ahead with you unfair, “Gotcha,” Hockey-Mom-Hating, Elitist questions.” This shows how John McCain and Sarah Palin, as well as Republicans across the country, believe that Katy Couric’s questions were offensive and biased. The Republican Party believes that Katy Couric’s interview and questions were engineered specifically to make Sarah Palin look bad.
