this is sooooo cool. I didn't have a tv growing up in the 80's, but I still knew Connie Chung. I wanted to be her in an "important people in history" school event, but I wasn't Asian, so I thought I couldn't. So I was Joan of Arc instead. I related to the feeling of wanting to be in male-dominated spaces and compete. I didn't even know anything about her, but I got a Joan of Arc feeling from seeing her speak briefly on the news.
I am old enough to remember Nancy Dickerson and some others but Connie stood out! What a delightful interview. I was there for Watergate and laughed when the venerated journalist spoke about about having to stake out for stories. One time Helen Thomas was eavesdropping on my bf (who worked at the White House} and me while we rode on the Metro and I felt like a star. Great memories.
Being Europian and living in Europe, I didn’t knew Connie Chung before. What an amazing and extraordinaire woman! And being my age in the middle of hers and Mayim, and my proffession when I began a very masculinized one I fully agree with them both about what’s “feminism”. Curiously, I’ve ended being the boss of a very masculinized big team with almost no women..but directed in a very feminine way. Another fabulous episode to watch and re-watch! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much Mayim! Wonderful interview and excellent questions! So sad that ethical, accurate , unbiased journalism is long gone. There should be a journalism program that follows and honors the integrity our true icon journalists: Chung, Cronkite, Jennings, etc. i too can barely read or watch the news.
I loved this interview so much! As a woman of your age, Mayim, I too grew up watching Connie Chung. She definitely paved the way & set precedence for women in journalism. Thank you! Maybe you can get Maury next? Would love to hear from him too! They are great icons of our childhood.
@@HostileTakeover555 why would you know it? She is a system disruptor. You just sat on the conveyor belt being told who you were and thinking you did the damn thing. You'd never relate to someone so cool as Connie. She put in the work and is the shiii*t you just are sh*t HA
@@ratedrachel3670 Excuse me? As a female, I grew up watching Connie Chung as an inspiration and it was wonderful to watch a powerful woman being so poised and confident and a very male dominated industry and contributed to the success I’ve had in my industry. Please take your creepy aggression elsewhere.
@@HostileTakeover555 I stopped reading after "as a female" so shh go be a female and make me food I'm hungry. You want to blow the patriarchy well get to sucking babe. I'm allowed to relate to MY experience so come to my yard and you get told whats up. You're a fool on the internet who needed my acknowledgement because you know you have nothing. Connie would spit on you so would I. Now go bask in your ignorance cause u picked the wrong one prop!
@HostileTakeover555 what creepy aggression are you referring too?? The original post was nothing creepy or bad about Connie Chung. Maybe your reply was meant for another comment?!
On a completely unrelated note.... Mayim how did you deal with writing so many papers in college 😂 I've written more in these 2 years than high-school! Great video and I deeply admire Connie! Wonderful questions. It saddens me to see how far gone unbiased journalism is. Connie is definitely a rare gem in the world of journalism alone,let alone the influence she had on so many people. They say Kris Jenner outworks the devil, well Connie's out worked the devil and Kris! ❤❤
Just seeing Connie Chung’s name in the title gave me such a warm, calm feeling. Trust, that’s what it is, belief in the truth of reality. It made me realize how abused by modern news media I feel. ❤
Always been intrigued by the rise of yellow journalism. First learned the term in high school, a mere eon ago, where it was used in reference to Theodore Roosevelt pulling the press's attention to his family life. If i recall correctly, they were entranced by his daughter. Sensationalism has been around for a long time and used as a political tactic to garner or destroy favor. From how Connie puts it, it seems like journalists took their power back for a time, but it's gone back to being a tool by the powerful to keep their power and direct the disempower's attention and energies toward matters of unimportance.
I like how this topic was finally addressed. I wonder even though she never mentioned anyone in particular if she actually sees who is being villainized by the mainstream media.
I don't know.. my Mother worked on Capital Hill starting in the 60s right thru the 80s. She rocked it but maybe because she was 5'9" and 3 inch heels and was built like Marilyn Monroe.
Yea, on the one hand, media improved. There's so much more diversity, even with Olympic coverage. On the other hand, I cringe each time "world news tonight" talks about what's going on with specific celebrities. That's what Entertainment Tonight is for, guys. #ShakesHeadInDisbelief 👿

She reminds me of my grandma. Except she doesn't knit while sharing her life experiences💖🧶 Last year I was the only woman at an institution for young men (around 18). The sexist comments only stopped when I started communicating in the same way. They found it cringe and I found it extremely funny😊
God Bless Connie Chung! I too miss the days when we would watch Walter Cronkite every evening and he would say, "And that's the way it is" and sign off and leave us to form our own opinions. Today we constantly have others' opinions shoved down our throats--it's not news anymore. Maybe someday we'll return to that? A girl can dream.
ICON!! (57 here, Connie was everything to me growing up)
Me too. Our local news has not been the same since she retired. An Icon of the PNW!!!
Ms Connie is the definition of Goat

So interesting. I’ve always had a ton of respect for her, knew she was tough but never knowing her story or background.

Thank you for this deep conversation with Connie Chung. I admire her even more than I did before learning about her real life. ⭐️
Connie impresses me to no end. Love your podcast but haven't watched a full episode in awhile but this one captivated me.
Thank you so much for this really great episode with Connie Chung! Much love to you, Mayim! ❤
Connie is a legend. My cousin Connie is named after her . She made a huge impact in my family. Thank you. Your videos are amazing.
She's awesome ! Great interview! 💜
I could watch you two talk all day long. Great episode.
I have to keep RE-SUBSCRIBING 😢😢
Great interview.

So glad you had convo with Connie. May many understand that positive change ain’t easy but necessary. And one needs courage. Like Connie.
Why I subscribed to your breakdown, Mayim is because I've been wanting to have a comment chat with you.
Connie Chung's "Just between you and me" reminds me how some people can lie and get away with it
Politics isn’t about policy anymore. It’s about a popularity contest.
Love you Doc
Thanks.
❤
I love this interview ❤
I am not impressed that you are using part of this interview to push your political agenda.

More refering to the nuance vs the literal statement but that intro you clipped of Connie is very the trans experience 😂
No, it’s the female experience.
I thought this too as a nonbinary person
STOP trying to co-opt the female/woman experience. It is NOT the same thing as a trans person’s experience.
