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.

Journalists never hold back key important information, Couric did. Journalists never cover their asses, by distorting the substance of an interview, Couric did. Journalists do not commit the “sin of omission”, Couric did. Is Couric a journalist? Naw.
The only thing about Katie Couric that surprises me, is that they didn’t find her head when they did her colonoscopy.
The TV media is filled with people who have an average IQ of 95 but seem like genius material because their content is aimed an audience with an average IQ of 85.
“Couric, 64, writes that she always tried to keep her ‘personal politics’ out of her reporting throughout her career.”
WHAT A LOAD OF SH*T
“Couric, 64, writes that she always tried to keep her ‘personal politics’ out of her reporting throughout her career.” Is that what she did in her Sarah Palin interview?
FUKC
“Let’s go, Katie!”
Well, at least she was making 7500 bucks an hour for her perkiness...
“My experience is that it is a lot easier for women to lie than for men. Lying seems to be part of their repertoire.:
I guess you don’t buy the believe-all-women crap.
Putting it as delicately as I can, anyone who buys the believe-all-women crap has their HUTA.
A liberal censored a liberal to protect her from liberals. That sounds about right.
