In Barbara Walters' new memoir Audition (yes, there are entire decades of her life she hasn't covered yet), she relays some of her own horror stories after leaving the Today show. Perhaps a certain struggling CBS Evening News anchor can relate? When she headed to ABC to anchor the evening news, Walters encountered her own brand of backlash.
"The blood was so bad between us that Harry's cronies on the crew took to using a stopwatch to note my airtime [so that Reasoner got his share]. Harry's hostility soon began to show on the air. I remember reaching toward him at the end of one broadcast, in a friendly manner, just to touch him on the arm. He recoiled, physically recoiled, in front of millions of people. The media picked up on the bad chemistry."
And Walters still knows a thing or two about bad chemistry.
Centuries later on The View, she had to play referee between "friends" Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck. And instead of millions of people simply catching their feisty chemistry just one, they replayed it over and over on YouTube.
Also Katie might know something about.

Barbara Walters is a yenta who got lucky.
I just don't find her relevant anymore. She did a horrible job on GMA when she sat in for Dianne
