This follows an infamous statement made some time back that CBS News, in Rather’s view, had decided “to dumb it down, tart it up.” Asked now by Williams about his chances of appearing on Couric’s upcoming daytime talk show, he said, yeah, he’s into it, but that “you’re more likely to see water run uphill.” This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Appearing on The Wendy Williams Show the other day - yes, Rather did BET - the anchor emeritus said that while he has “respect” for Couric, the “personality” and the “interviewer,” he thinks she was complicit in the trashing of a certain “ Ed Murrow– Walter Cronkite tradition.” It’s a tome that’s led to a tour that’s also led to no shortage of missives about the woman who took over from him (albeit briefly) at the desk: Katie Couric. The book tracks a career that spans all the way from the JFK assassination to Abu Ghraib. While those bread baskets are being attacked, and those tweets being curated, Rather, the former CBS anchor, will be a little ways uptown, on Bay, talking to Indigo ma’am Heather Reisman about his new memoir, Rather Outspoken. Seamus O’Regan is hosting, and the tables are just waiting to be filled with a wide spectrum of media busybodies, including Wendy Mesley, John Stackhouse, Kevin Newman, Paul Wells, Kenny Yum, Wilf Dinnick, Anna Maria Tremonti … you get the picture. There’s more where that came from at Thursday’s back-slapping gala, happening at the Farimont Royal York. Manage Print Subscription / Tax Receipt.
