I thought about this too and I think no one cared. Maybe some people intervened like, do you really want to do this? And she really wanted to do this. Now the publishing people know they will sell her book no matter, so what do they care. Why do you extend yourself to save Katie Couric from showing everyone her ass, if she is intent on doing so?

+1 Agreed on Sawyer...a much more emotionally stable, self aware person. And more sophisticated, yes.

I'm pp and you've totally hit the nail on the head. I think we've taken the whole use your voice to mean say anything you want with disregard for anyone else. What about compassion and grace?


Yes and empathy and maybe dignity? Would she want her past colleagues to speak about her in the same demeaning tone she has taken with them here? Devaluing them as people? I doubt it.

She has the ego of the men in that business during that retro ers and the attitudes and behaviors of a lot of them too, and that's not necessarily a compliment. She showed no moral courage on the Lauer situation, and other situations as well and looked the other way and basically was mostly focused on herself and her career, admitting it probably kept her from seeing her husband was jaundiced and ill early on. I say this as a working woman...This is not anything to be proud of and she was a living embodiment of the toxic culture she was immersed in for decades. Not a great role model at all in the ways that have to do with personal character in my opinion. Really sad to learn.
