Morley Safer Not Loving Couric's ‘Bullshit Hype’

We asked which director had given such sage tit advice, but Morley walked away. Sigh. But wait! He was back! It was time to ask a serious question: “Is it necessary for Katie Couric to be in Iraq?” New York asked the Vietnam War correspondent. “I think if you’re a young reporter, and to me she’s a young reporter, it’s certainly important to be where a major story is happening,” he said. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Katie Couric going to Iraq and doing a perfectly good job. I think there’s something terribly wrong with the bullshit hype that’s surrounding it,” he said. “Bullshit hype!” he said again. And then he was gone, disappearing into the night like a mysterious sage, or maybe an angry old sailor. —Jada Yuan
