Full Title: Katie Couric felt pummeled at CBS News, resented by coworkers for $15M salary and unfriendly personality: new book
In excerpts of Sheila Wellers highly anticipated book The News Sorority obtained by the Daily News, resentment towards Katie Couric was immediate upon her arrival to CBS News. According to Weller, Couric compared herself to Hillary Clinton, received a large salary while others were asked to take pay cuts, and failed to make friends with former CBS staffers who described her as abrasive.
Poor Katie get her some Kleenex and a wrinkle-free pantsuit.
TV star Katie Couric took such a beating in the press after she jumped ship to CBS she started comparing herself to Hillary Clinton, a new book says. The steep drop in popularity that followed Courics exit from NBCs Today show in 2006 left her full of self-pity, according to author Sheila Weller.

Oh, I thought it was because she wasn’t very good.
To: jimbo123
Why would anyone resent a useless hack "pretty face" for making $7500 an hour?
Or for $300 an hour over at NBC, for example?

“TV star Katie Couric took such a beating in the press after she jumped ship to CBS she started comparing herself to Hillary Clinton, a new book says.”
Yeah, I guess she is similar. Bitching and moaning that her rich ass isn’t kissed nonstop.

Howdy Doody Clinton gets $600 grand for doing nothing, cheerleader Couric gets $15 million. Amazing how liberals are willing to go full out capitalism to push the commie myth.

Pulling down 15 million just to be a loud mouthed liberal ‘RAT SHOULD be a brutal experience.

I always thought she went down hill after her husband died. I think that made her bitter. I feel bad that she went through that. It took a very long time for her to get over the death. She recently remarried but probably still feels her late husband is her soul mate. It sucks to lose your spouse. She was relatively a decent person before that.

As much as she sucked at her job, she should literally have been pummeled. Thanks jimbo123.

Tough cookies. Behind that phony smile, Couric is one the nastiest, most partisan news hacks out of there.
