CNN New Day co-anchor Alisyn Camerota is on the cover of Working Mother. On what she told her kids what [former Fox News chairman and CEO] Roger Ailes did to her: “They always knew I had challenges with Roger, which went way beyond the instances of sexual harassment, like how I didn’t think his editorial control was reflective of true journalism. When I decided to talk about it publicly, my daughter happened to be in the room when the interview was airing, so we watched it. My girls were so cute. They just threw their arms around me and started hugging me and saying, ‘Mom, we’re so proud of you.’ It’s so adorable and touching to me that they have that in them already.”
Fox News’s Tucker Carlson is profiled in GQ. On what he deems the media’s “Russia hysteria,” Carlson says: “The core of journalism is skepticism, right? Where is the evidence? Journalists are supposed to be skeptical because the rest of us don’t have time to be skeptical. We’re going to pre-masticate this information for you. And we’ve just stopped doing that—we’re just vomiting on the public.”
60 Minutes ep Jeff Fager has an in-depth Q&A with Newsday’s Verne Gay, including about the show’s newest contributor Oprah Winfrey. “She and we will be judged based on the work she does here. You can’t see that she’s coming from any particular place and we’re going to be proud of the work she does here. In terms of background and history, she reminds me a little bit of Mike Wallace, who had a full career before starting at “60,” but the one thing he did that stands out as with her was the interview and that ability to absorb.”
