Steve Capus interview…
The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Gail Shister has an interview with Steve Capus…
News executives are meant to be heard, not seen, but Capus, NBC president since ‘05, resolutely defended his judgments on NBC, MSNBC, CNN and even, last Tuesday, with Oprah Winfrey Herself.
“Go figure,” he says. “. . . I’m a guy from Warminster who landed in a good job. I never thought it would propel me into the guest seat of Oprah.”
Technically, Capus was in the studio audience. Anchor Brian Williams, mind-melded with his boss since they worked together at Philadelphia’s WCAU in the late ’80s, sat with Winfrey.
To Williams, Oprah meant reaching a different audience.
“It was bothering us that some people didn’t seem to understand what we do for a living,” he says. “We can’t always use public opinion as a barometer of whether to do a story.”
Let the MSM media love fest continue…I thought Gail lost her column?
