CBS needs to relax the rule on the length of Katie's skirt.
Hey Sally ... if she can't ride with the big boys ... she shouldn't saddle up.
Us? Who the hell is Sally Quinn?
As far as I'm concerned they're all overpaid, glorified teleprompter readers, regardless of their plumbing.
Oh ladies. Get me the WAAAAAMBULANCE. You want to go to the top, you better toughen the F up. You give women a bad name.
They were promoted from within; both had extensive news reporting credentials. Couric was brought in from the "light news"/entertainment wing of morning shows, which are infotainment. This is a gigantic change--isn't that WHY so much was made of her? "A new kind of newscast" Couric brayed herself.
Nobody mentioned their clothes or hair, and nobody made anything of the fact that Gibson had been on a morning show,
Because that wasn't ALL he'd been involved in. But I do agree women get commented on about their looks in this industry and men don't--look at Chrissy Matthews talking about Ann COulter's looks.
Of course, Sally, it's these liberal TV commentators doing 90% of this...
but Couric was criticized for not coming from prime-time news. Nobody mentioned the word gravitas. (Couric was accused of not having it.) Nobody made a fuss about Williams and Gibson's salaries, but much was made of Couric's $15 million.
That's just ridiculous on its face--she's being paid the most of any of these people, a huge amount for someone just coming into hard news. So please, enough with the whining--it makes the sexists' case for them--you look like a little girl in a man's business, complaining that "men" are being mean to you when your sister vaults over the men with more news experience and gets paid MORE in the process.
Washington Compost trying to cover for Katie now she's in 3rd place.
(maybe show your neck waddle or the armpit mudflaps...)
The word that links the past failure to the present failure is LIBERAL.
Maybe Donovan McNabb can be her replacement once he leaves football.
(Think for a second, funny huh?)
They came from within their own networks and nobody spent $10 million bucks ballyhooing their moving to "do" the news.
Just as no one did for Bob Schieffer when he did the same for SeeBS.">
Meanwhile, back a Dinosaur Media Headquarters, the suits continue to run around their sinking ships while hiring more people to piss in the boiler rooms.
OMG, you knew this was coming. 1) Katie gets big numbers on her maiden broadcast; 2) numbers plummet after the first four programs; 3) liberal whack job feminists now blame the media and men and the big, bad double standard that women have to face on TV that men never do.
Jeezy-peezy. It is all so predictable.
Sally Quinn should thank God everyday that, for the past several decades, she has been able to earn buckets of money by writing and reporting poorly.
She must hold a PhD(pile it higher and deeper) in whining.
But then, that's just me. :)
Nice work if you can get it.
It's a conspiracy to keep women out of the workplace!
ROTFLMAO!
What an utter bunch of bull. She isn't being watched therefore it is a double standard because women aren't accepted in the news anchor slot.
What a silly, vapid excuse.
I can't watch her because she is an annoying liberal nanny with a miserably insufferable air of snotty condescension.
Opus
This brings to mind a song by Shel Silverstein: "Liberated Lady 1999". I won't post the lyrics, but it fits Sally perfectly.
C-c-c-catfight!!
I want the buildup of being the first, I want the glory of being the first.......but I don't want to be treated like I'm the first.....
