Katie Couric on news:
"Addressing the annual convention of CBS affiliates, Couric predicted that the 'pretentious era' of the evening-news anchor is going to be a thing of the past."
...
"'Anyone who watches 'Today' knows that I've done more hard-hitting interviews than any evening news anchor,' she said."
So, when does that not pretentious stuff start, exactly?
(as an aside, I do at least give her credit for this even if it is just rhetoric: "Asked by Stahl why many viewers may have lost their trust in the media, Couric said she thinks that the media are 'held captive by spin,' choosing to repeat 'two separate spins' rather than search for the facts in a story." Of course, has she done anything about it? No. But at least her heart seems to be in the right place)
