Katie Couric Moves On

And as the sun sinks in the west, we bid adieu to Katie Couric, First Woman Anchor.
“It feels good,” Couric said of her post-CBS freedom in a phone interview. “But I’m sort of a serious working girl, so I’ll be happy when I figure out my next move.”
She is going to do something that “allows me to be my authentic self,” she said. This would not be reality TV. No “Real Anchors of Manhattan.” Let’s stomp out that rumor before it starts. She hopes to do a program involving conversation and “tackling complicated subjects and making them accessible.”
Couric’s tenure at CBS News got mixed grades. She put together some memorable reports, led of course by the historic Sarah Palin interview. Palin was exactly the kind of candidate who could be revealed in all her ineptitude only by a seemingly unthreatening questioner who sat there looking interested, and a little worried, as the garbled answers flowed.
