Marlise Kast on the 700 Club

Ex-tabloid reporter Marlise Kast, who, we cannot fail to note, ”wanted to be Katie Couric,” is a hard person to figure out. She contains enough contradictions to give the well-intentioned media observer cognitive vertigo. She left The Globe because she was plagued by doubts about the ethics of her job. Swell and lovely. However, the cover design and the marketing strategy of the book veer towards salacious reverence for the very tabloidal structure she presently abhors.
