[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to work at NBC in the early 2000s. Katie was one of the good ones. There were plenty of ice queens. I'll let you guess which ones those are. Including some who began in DC. Ahem.
I'm amazed that people are reaming her for being honest. This is what goes on at network news. People are competitive. If she were a man, she wouldn't be getting this backlash for competing with colleagues. But because she's a woman, she's being called a b*** and a narcissist. I applaud her for actually being open and unvarnished about how people jockey for power in this industry, and making herself vulnerable.

I asked myself this, if she were a man would I feel differently if he dished about a former colleague's bad breath, lack of humor, rigidity, the time they came on to him, all the personal former colleague content she seems to have written. My answer was I think I would still find it appalling...I would think he was an arrogant di#k. If it was just her writing about the industry and processes, etc. Her experiences fine...she got into personality attacks, who people were in her opinion, or people's vulnerable moments, like she's writing for tmz or or something. These were her colleagues. That was my main issue. Yea it is obviously an ugly industry, no doubt. So I guess if that was the goal, to share that, she certainly achieved it.
