Katie Couric's "Jeopardy" gig in jeopardy after disgusting remarks against half the country

It's becoming increasingly disgusting how many celebrities and politicians on the left constantly defame, slander and insult the millions of Americans who think differently than they do.

After the great Alex Trebek died of cancer in early November last year, "Jeopardy" producers have been looking for his replacement, a very difficult task for one so loved by so many. One of the people they thought might fit the bill is Katie Couric.

However, last week, Couric appeared on "Real Time with Bill Maher" where she bad-mouthed former President Trump in his final days in office. That isn't unusual for the left, who pretend to do such a thing is "brave." What she did that made headlines were her statements about Trump's Capitol Hill backers who supported his election challenge.

"It is so shocking. ... Not only are they not conceding, Bill, but their thoughts -- that there might have been some collusion among members of Congress, some are refusing to go through magnetometers ... to check for weapons, they're not wearing masks during this siege," Couric began.

"I mean, it's really bizarre, isn't it, when you think about how AWOL so many of these members of Congress have gotten. But I also think some of them are believing the garbage that they are being fed 24/7 on the internet, by their constituents, and they bought into this big lie. And the question is how are we going to really almost deprogram these people who have signed up for the cult of Trump."

"Deprogram." She said "deprogram."

According to the New York Post's "Page Six," some of the heads of "Jeopardy" were "immediately worried" about her gum-flapping.

Page Six reports that, according to a source, the "Jeopardy" audience is "very conservative" and the game show had "always steered clear of politics."

Why can't people keep politics out of everything? I know, I know, Brain Flushings is about politics, but that's the purpose of the blog. The purpose of "Jeopardy" is to entertain.

"Katie’s comments so soon after she was announced as a host are very concerning to the producers. They are worried there will be a backlash against her. There has already been some complaints," the anonymous source told Page Six.

"Jeopardy viewers are quite a traditional bunch, and there’s fears she might be too polarizing after this. At the very least, she already appears to have ruled herself out of becoming the permanent host of the show," the source continued.

Well, you have to give the producers credit for understanding their audience. Couric is now tainted and anyone who follows the news and watches the show will know that. 

It's ironic and almost funny [but not funny] that Couric and other journalists do not want opinions that differ from theirs. In fact, journalism in its pure form, is not supposed to unveil the opinions of the journalists. That's why we have opinion journalists as differentiated from pure journalists. 

One should never know how a pure journalist votes in an election. Brett Baier comes to mind as a pure journalist while Sean Hannity is clearly an opinion journalists and admits it--unlike the opinion people at the Compromised News Network [aka CNN].

Couric's comments about how the GOP needs to be "deprogrammed" did not go unnoticed.

Joe Concha a columnist for "The Hill," told Fox News:

"This sort of rhetoric from Couric — which comes across as so condescending and elitist — underscores the divide between our media, which primarily resides in New York and Washington, and the rest of the country, which is moderate to center-right, per multiple polls. And it’s why the industry is so mistrusted and frowned upon."

Hopefully Couric talked herself out of the job.  

Others set to guest host include "Jeopardy!" champion Ken Jennings, actress Mayim Bialik of the "Big Bang Theory," and NFL Quarterback fo the Greenbay Packers, Aaron Rodgers.
