Katie Couric has admitted to 'protecting' Ruth Bader Ginsburg from public backlash by cutting out negative comments she made about people who kneel during the national anthem.
The former Today show host reveals in her new book that she let her personal political views influence her editing decisions during her 2016 interview with the late Supreme Court justice.
In new memoir, Going There, Couric writes that she edited out a part where Ginsburg said that those who kneel during the national anthem are showing 'contempt for a government that has made it possible for their parents and grandparents to live a decent life.'
The anecdote is the latest controversial revelation to emerge from Couric's book, which is set to be released October 26.
DailyMail.com previously revealed how the veteran news anchor brutally rips into her former colleagues, ex-boyfriends, and celebrities in the score-settling tome, which runs to 500 pages.
Couric, 64, writes that she always tried to keep her 'personal politics' out of her reporting throughout her career.

But she faced a 'conundrum' when Ginsburg made comments about Colin Kaepernick, the former NFL player who became the controversial figurehead behind the national anthem protest against racial injustice.
Couric felt that when Ginsburg said that people like Kaepernick were 'dumb and disrespectful' they were comments that were 'unworthy of a crusader for equality' like the liberal Supreme Court justice.

Nothing is real.
Fake fake fake MSM , ah we all knew that many years ago
If a person can't be honest, I have no use for them.
This is only the tip of an iceberg. The Main Stream Media lie to us 24/7/365 in order to protect the "Narative".
Makes one think it was never part of the interview at all.
She is no journalist.
She LIED by omiting this.
And Katie, why didn’t you ask her about RBG wanting the AGE OF CONSENT lowered to TWELVE????????!!!!!!
“When U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was an attorney for the ACLU, she co-authored a report recommending that the age of consent for sexual acts be lowered to 12 years of age,” the article points out.
“Knight and York’s footnoted documentation on this is as follows: “Sex Bias in the U.S. Code,” Report for the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, April 1977, p. 102, quoted in “Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s Feminist World View,” The Phyllis Schlafly Report, Vol. 26, No. 12, Section 1, p. 3. The paragraph (from the Ginsburg report) reads as follows: “‘Eliminate the phrase “carnal knowledge of any female, not his wife, who has not attained the age of 16 years” and substitute a federal, sex-neutral definition of the offense. … A person is guilty of an offense if he engages in a sexual act with another person. … [and] the other person is, in fact, less than 12 years old.’”

I remember Couric wearing Black the day after Trump won the 2016 Election.
Couric admits she lies.
Propaganda isn’t just what they tell you, it’s what they choose not to tell you.
“Deception by omission” - standard MO for Big Media.
“Couric, 64, writes that she always tried to keep her ‘personal politics’ out of her reporting throughout her career.”
Well then let’s hear her side of the story when, according to Wayne Lapierre in his book Guns, Crime, and Freedom, she allegedly ended an interview rather abruptly with a black female police officer from Atlanta recovering from a gunshot injury when the officer said that stricter gun control laws will not stop criminals from getting guns.
Ginsburg and Couric deserved each other. Both sucked at their jobs
Wow, that is the maybe the first statement by RGB that I actually agreed with.
God Bless her soul.
“Fake But Accurate”?
Can any big name in the MSM provide an example of where they showed similar favoritism to help may Reagan look good? or Trump? or Gingrich? Nixon? or any Conservative?
It is indeed a Narrative.
Journalism pushes Progressivism and has no use for Reality. As Biden says, they’ve chosen “Truth over Facts”.
My experience is that it is a lot easier for women to lie than for men. Lying seems to be part of their repertoire.
Melvin Udall had it right: no reason or accountability.
I love women for their ability to love their husbands and families and natural feminine compassion for the less fortunate.
But why would anyone in their right mind let them run the world?
What a pos.
That is okay, Katie, I am sure you would have done the same for Trump........oh, wait!
the 19th was our biggest mistake ...
Yes, but AFTER the 16th...
