'This is not the role of a journalist' (via toofab)
, Couric detailed how Ginsberg was critical of Colin Kaepernick and other NFL players for protesting racial inequality by kneeling during the national anthem. Couric said the comments caused a"conundrum" as she felt"protective" of Ginsberg, who was 83 at the time.
After she sought advice from journalism peers -- with the New York Times' David Brooks saying Ginsberg was"elderly and probably didn't fully understand the question" -- Couric would ultimately include Ginsberg calling the protesters"dumb and disrespectful" but left out her saying the protest was"contempt for a government that has made it possible for their parents and grandparents to live a decent life.
The self-confessed"big RBG fan" also claimed that the Supreme Court's head of public affairs reached out a day after the interview to request some of Ginsberg's remarks be removed before publication. McCain wasn't the only news correspondent to criticize Couric's move, as New York Times' Maggie Haberman posted,"This is toxic on a lot of levels."
