Norah O’Donnell on Industry Upheaval, Sexism in Media, and Her Future
ELLE US ^ | 11//27/25 | Mattie Kahn

Even so, farewells are bittersweet and this one has been made more so because of her replacements. “I think it’s important to have women in these lead anchor chairs, and I think it is a setback that it’s going to be all men,” O’Donnell says.

Later, she adds, “I think there are incredible opportunities for women in journalism. But I think it would be a disservice to suggest, especially to young women who are entering the workforce, that they’re not going to encounter sexism and potentially harassment. It exists. It does. And it exists even for the most powerful women in business, media, and politics.”

Thought she was kind of hot back in the day.

She comes across as fake, phony, plastic, and very very cold.

I had to look her up. No idea what she looked like, though I have heard the name.

That cbs commercial where she was standing in front of the capitol building like she was some kind of patriot used to tick me off to no end.

Her entire career has been Disinformation, not journalism.

I don’t care for her politics or her journalistic style, but she wears a woman’s suit very well. Great styling and tailoring.

I love how women are still bitching about underrepresentation in the media. They have totally invaded and taken over men’s spaces. Every televised major sports program is overrun with females. STFU!

Norah O’Donnell, they only thing I ever liked about Norah was her legs when she was wearing a slit skirt.

Remember when this witch moderated the VP debate?

After prattling off some climate change speech, she looked at Vance with those same cold, dead eyes and asked her “question.” It was the look of a petulant 8th grade girl who felt she had just exacted vengeance.

Fire them all.

Ah, Norah.

You will never be a Katherine Herridge, Sheryl Atkisson, Lara Logan, or Maria Bartiromo.

I have occasionally watched her show for a few minutes here and there ... usually when flipping thru the channels. I noticed that when she starts a story she cocks her head down a bit and to the left a bit (appropriate) and looks into the camera as if to say “Pay attention peon, I am about to speak and if you don’t believe everything I am about to say, you are less than pond scum”.

The sound of a woman’s voice on TV or radio can be so annoying. I have not watched FAUX News for years now, but the husband does, so, from the next room, I often hear the TV. I have to ask him to turn it down when a lot of these females come on. For some reason, they think they sound better if they use a fry voice. Makes me want to smash the television.

I can barely stand to listen to Greta on Newsmax but I absolutely cannot stand looking at her. When she’s on the audio streams in the background.

Shannon Bream on Fox News Sunday is one of the worst. I just watched Sunday last, and i couldnt take it. She was talking so fast, she sounded like some kind of electronic, computerized machine. I was like “damn, slow down, take a breath”. There was another one on MSNBC, dont recall her name, that did the exact same thing. They stopped using her. Same thing with Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris etc...they start with that strident, lecturing voice, and thats it. Im done. Maria Cardona on CNN, Ana Navarro on the View...i could go on and on.
