Full Title: Katie Couric felt ‘pummeled’ at CBS News, resented by coworkers for $15M salary and unfriendly personality: new book

In excerpts of Sheila Weller’s 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 Couric’s exit from NBC’s “Today” show in 2006 left her full of self-pity, according to author Sheila Weller.

Good Point. The NBC “war on women” segment should be entertaining as well.

I was just thinking the same thing (and rolling my eyes the way she did to Sarah).

willk: I felt bad about what happened to her husband too. I felt bad for her until the crap she pulled on Sarah Palin.

napscoordinator: That’s all. I thought I was doing better. What I said about Katie is true. She did become bitter after her husband died. I guess you feel that is being mean. But it is factual.

Katie Couric has been shamelessly lying and carrying water for the Clintons for as long as she has been able. She's been a number one backstabbing, treacherous media hack ever since she first slimed her way in front of a camera. There is no aspect of the liberal progressive Leftist agenda that she hasn't promoted and protected with every ounce of power she's ever had. And she's going down because Hillary's going down, and that's why she's invoking Hillary - as an effort to reconnect Hillary with media support.

That's the truth about her - the ONLY truth about her.

Everything else is rank shill material, including your pathetic sob stories.

I am surprised you are on this site. You have every right too, but most atheists find being on DU more welcoming. Being nasty towards your fellow man is NOT a good Christian trait. Keep up your bitterness. It is kinda sad. I will pray for you. It is Father’s Day and maybe you didn’t get your cake yet.

LOL, hypocrite much?

And for what - pointing out that Katie Couric is a lifelong leftist? THAT makes me a nasty, bitter DU atheist who didn't get his cake?

But YOU'RE going to pray for me?

LOL, yeah, you do that. And make sure you get those candles right - last time you messed up the pentagram and almost lit the eye of newt on fire.

Bwahahahaha!
