There was no bias, she clearly attributed it to the book that Edmund Morris was there to promote and she never personally called Reagan an "airhead" as Coultergeist likes to say.
She attributed it to the book AFTER saying "The Gipper was an airhead." Picking up on a bias requires that you not have the bias yourself, I suppose.

Hannity never used the word "apparent." He said the same thing Couric did; that Morris called him an "airhead."

You sure are thick.
Josh, stay focused here. I'm aware of the fact that Hannity didn't use the word apparent either. But he did not say the same thing Couric did.

Coming up, the authorized biography of Ronald Reagan calls him, quote, an airhead.

Hannity makes it clear that "airhead" was a quote from Morris' book. Whereas Couric and the Today show made it seem that it was "the conclusion" of his book.

Quote:
Because you quoted transcripts that obviously show that no one on the Today show called him an "airhead."
Because I quoted transcripts that prove that Couric lied on national television.

"Actually it was only one day..."

And then she quickly tries to change the subject!
