Six Months Of Couric: “She’s Probably Going Crazy,” Simpson Says

By Brian 

Former ABC anchor Carole Simpson tells the Boston Globe:

  What did you think when Katie Couric took over at CBS Evening News?

I was absolutely thrilled.

Do you think she’s doing a good job?

To open the news saying, ‘Hi, everybody’ — I just don’t think that’s where we should be. I just think she’s soft. It’s soft. But I know she’s a good reporter, and I know she’s a strong woman. She’s probably going crazy. Because one day they’ll say, ‘Oh, you need to be a little stronger. Oh, you need to be a little lighter, a little friendlier.’ I feel for her.
