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.

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.

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

Entertaining.

I tried to tune in every-once in a while for entertainment before they booted her, and I almost never watch network news.

15 million dollars???? I don’t think anyone is worth that kind of money.....what if they had offered her six million...would she have turned it down??? The liberal elite in this country are the most pathetic underachievers that the world has ever known...

“Oh, I thought it was because she wasn’t very good.”

I was thinking the pummeling might be because she was TOO cute.

Your post of those photos sums up the media bias in America.

The sad thing is that this HACK, for some reason, is guaranteed major network work for life.
I don’t get it......

She has NO discernable talent and her only personality is fake. She`s a cartoon, a perpetual juvenile narcissist with delusions of importance and a media-whore.

Senator Schumer should have done Katie Courage a favor and passed a law to tax away 90 % of her income.

After all, Schumer threatened to do the same thing to the Big Banks in 2009, long after the Democrat’s Fairness Doctrine was made into Party Common Law, (PCL).

Another PCL factor is the “Fairness Doctrine,” which in Katie’s case also involves the see-saw battle in Obamanation between the White-ists, Sex-ists, and the Democrat’s on-going War on Women.

If Katie can’t find TV work maybe she can get a pizza waitress job.
