Katie Couric, in an interview in the current Time magazine:
Time: What makes a good anchor?
Couric: Someone who’s experienced and who has credibility. When I came to CBS, people said I lacked gravitas, which was frankly an unfair assessment. I had probably done more interviews than most of the sitting anchors, and certainly my share of hard-hitting ones. I always said gravitas was Latin for ‘testicles.'”
Um, Katie has been saying this for years. NOT new.
