Dan Rather’s Sexist Comments
June 13th, 2007
On Monday, during a telephone interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” show, Rather accused CBS of “tarting up” and “dumbing down” their news broadcasts by hiring Katie Couric and playing up celebrity news and playing down the war, in an attempt to attract younger viewers.
He wasn’t entirely negative, however. He did say she was a “nice person.”
CBS’ Chief Executive, Leslie Moonves, called the remarks “sexist.”
