Sheila Weller’s forthcoming tell-all ‘The News Sorority’ claims to offer up details on the scandalous and sometimes catty escapades of noteworthy newswomen, including how some apparently hold strong disdain for each other.
Katie Couric cultivated an “American Girl identity” but she was also a bully with a “chip on her shoulder.”
Diane Sawyer strived to be “America’s Aunt” but she rode her staff hard and used “staged humility” to disarm critics.
Christiane Amanpour was fearless in the field and would remind her bosses, “Do you know that I’m the world’s best-known foreign correspondent?”
And, when feeling threatened, these pioneering, primetime newswomen would sometimes bare their claws at each other, according to a tell-all book that goes on sale next month.

“rode her staff hard”
hmmm - sex for good interviews?....paging Bill Clinton, Mr Clinton - white courtesy telephone
There is nothing new under the sun here. Women will be catty towards each other, every chance they get, no matter their station in life.
From Seinfeld — The Library:
ELAINE: Why do they call it a wedgie?
GEORGE: Because the underwear is pulled up from the back and ... it wedges in..
JERRY: They also have an atomic wedgie. Now the goal there is to actually get the
waistband on top of the head. Very rare.
ELAINE: Boys are sick.
JERRY: Well what do girls do ?
ELAINE: We just tease some one ‘til they develop an eating disorder.
It’s all about which leftist media skank is out-whoring the other leftist media skanks.
The book will likely be a bestseller among upcoming leftist (female or metrosexual) media skanks wanting to learn the fine points of their trade.
hmm. guess that explains david gregory’s lack of success.
CAT FIGHT!!!!
I love that gif
They meant to say she rode Roone Arledge’s staff hard.
katie should keep her own dress down. Pot, kettle black.
What Would Jesse Ventura Do?
Bet there are some screenwriters today who wish they were still cranking out Murphy Brown scripts.
Bingo.
Media sluts! Is this really news worthy? I can get better news from the Cartoon Network.
Christiane Amanpour? I had to go look her up, still don't recognize the name nor the face.
Interesting that should be brought into the equation. My plea is I'm clueless. Calling the next number for this game ... O (better known as ... zer0) 44. Wonder if there is any significance to that call, made by God that placed him as 44? Double 4s. Double Agents!? katie, dianne, zer0? Triple/Double Agents.
I thought Swayer traded for cheap Gin?
On Meet the Press or in media whoring?!?
