CBS anchor Katie Couric yesterday kicked back at her critics saying she thought the word “gravitas”– the characteristic she is often accused of lacking — was “Latin for testicles.”
Couric was accepting an award from the Library of American Broadcasting at a luncheon in midtown Manhattan when she launched into a colorful defense of her style as a network news anchor.
“It’s possible to be warm yet authoritative,” she said, “and intelligent yet accessible.”
