The creator and first moderator of #MeetThePress was a woman, Martha Rountree.

She moderated from June 24, 1945 to 1947 on the radio version, and on NBC television network from November 6, 1947 to November 1, 1953.

There hasn't been a female moderator since in the 70 years that followed.

Her famous line was, 'Now See Hear' which she would say when BS was being peddled.
