[quote=Anonymous]"Couric admits she gave younger journalist Ashleigh Banfield the cold shoulder early on because helping her would have been “self sabotage” and that “I’d heard her father was telling anyone who’d listen that she was going to replace me.” Banfield responded this week by saying that, in fact, her “senile” father was in a care home at the time and had simply told a Post reporter he hoped his daughter, then an Afghanistan correspondent for NBC, would be “given a desk job like Katie’s.” Banfield told The Post: “Her words have really hit me hard. She was my North Star. I always looked at her as one of the most brave presenters … at a time when we were all called bimbos. She was the best morning show host ever. I’m just gobsmacked.” She now wonders if Couric undermined her career. “NBC left me brokenhearted. I was at the top of my game in 2002. But just as quickly as I rose, I was derailed and given no explanation. They took away my office, my desk, my phone, my computer … They never told me why. It was the most painful mystery. When I heard about Katie’s comments I wondered if that was the reason.”" Whatta beeotch. [/quote]
