It seems that yours is the only post so far that shows a touch of empathy for Katie. I do know that the strangled hold of the left on the television media, has driven some of us to muttered and violent expletives.
For some strange reason (maybe the colonoscopy business), I cannot join a cheering section on her obvious professional trauma. While having absolutely no brief for what these people have done in turning television into propaganda machine, I hope she does not completely blow it.
Better an older, sadder and wiser person, that could try to regain "the common touch"- if she ever had that.
Me too - - too cruel .
Couric has a sweetness that "feels" of a sheltered privileged life - not the sweetness that comes from a deep and sad awareness of the human condition. It makes her come across as superficial. This experience with CBS News will take the edge off her charm - and off the feeling of shallowness.
She'll grow, but it's a high price. CBS need to pair Couric with the conservative white guy - it'll play to her natural strengths. And it'll open up the show to the 50% of the population that's not liberal...
