What Dave Didn’t Ask Katie

Last night on the Late Show, David Letterman chatted with Katie Couric about her role as both anchor and managing editor of the CBS Evening News, her “post-election hangover” and those Palin interviews.

Couric detailed the time-line of her interviews, which subsequently got the most press. She questioned why one of her questions to Palin hasn’t been followed up on — about what newspapers she reads:

…nobody’s really asked her why she didn’t answer that question. She claims I said ‘what do you read up there in Alaska?’ As if people in Alaska don’t read or don’t have access to reading materials. But I never said that. I’m aware people in Alaska have access.

One thing that did not come up — the day Sen. John McCain canceled on Letterman only to show up on Couric’s show. The New York Post’s Don Kaplan writes the topic simply never came up: “A Letterman spokesman said the late-night host was not asked by Couric to steer clear of the McCain debacle — and that he never agrees to preconditions when conducting interviews.”
