Katie Couric Interviews Rachel Maddow

Dammit, Couric and Maddow, why did you make me go to the Glamour Magazine website for this interview? I almost died of pink in there.

Still good stuff from Rachel, though. Some women have TV boyfriends; I have a TV media studies professor/girlfriend. Which is a bit of an issue for her apparently.

[W]hat’s weird about cable is that people get really engaged with news hosts as brands. ... No matter what you’re talking about, people wanted to know more about what you thought about it, because they are interested in you as a person. ... And I don’t want to insert myself into the story. I just want to give a useful analysis of it to help people come to their own conclusions. It’s why I have a conveyor belt of gray blazers — I try to look exactly the same every day. Don’t focus on what I’m wearing. Focus on what’s coming out of my face.

I try, I really do.
