Katie Couric Out at Yahoo News (Perky Purged Alert)
Washington Free Beacon ^ | July 31, 2017 | Stephen Gutowski

Posted on 07/31/2017 4:34:10 PM PDT by Zakeet

Katie Couric and Yahoo News parted ways on Friday after four years of Couric serving as the organization's global news anchor.

Couric's headlining interview show for Yahoo News has been canceled. Her $10 million contract ended in March 2017 and was renewed through June. Couric will continue working with Yahoo News and its corporate parent Oath on a project-by-project basis.

Couric's four-year tenure was marred by criticism she received in the wake of revelations she and her fellow filmmakers deceptively edited an interview with gun rights activists in their 2016 Under the Gun film. In that film, a group of activists with the Virginia Citizens Defense League are shown sitting in silence for nine seconds following a question from Couric about terrorism and background checks. However, raw audio obtained by the Washington Free Beacon shows several of the activists immediately responded to Couric's question.

Couric and the film's director later admitted to editing in the silence and apologized "if anyone felt" the deceptive edit made them look bad.

A second Couric film, 2014's Fed Up, faced accusations of similar deceptive editing soon after.

Really dislike her and always have. Long list of nothingburgers that people watched on the Today show no matter what. Ludicrous and mostly unattractive women.

Unfortunately, yes. BUT it’s basically a branch office of DU and the Huffington Post.

Oooooh, they partnered with oft-NeverTrumpers IBD - gee what a surprise.

Katie is out?!?

I never got to watch a single episode of her show. Not one in those 4 years. Now I guess that I’m going to miss failing not to see a single one of her shows.

Like Megyn, Couric gets to cry all the way to the bank.

It’s the execs who hired her who are in big trouble.
