Linda Mason, CBS News [1], purports to talking about Katie Couric and her sinking ratings, but Mason could just as well be talking of Mrs. Ciinton’s campaign:
Linda Mason: I’m just surprised at how, almost 30 years after I worked on the “Evening News” as the first woman producer, that Katie is having such a tough time being accepted by the public, which seems to prefer the news from white guys, and now that Charlie’s doing so well, from older white guys. I guess they want the reassurance of a Walter Cronkite.
The public likes news anchors and presidents who are geniune, a trait both Ms. Couric and Mrs. Clinton lack.
