Have you ever gone throught the "prep" and then had it rescheduled? Maybe that wasn't the case here, but I can assure you you wouldn't be happy about it if you did.

Ms. Katie Courtic would respectfully disagree with you.

How in the world is that "sexist"? Any jerk of a boss can throw a tantrum.

Thanks LongIslandlol -

"Bitch" is NOT a term of endearment. I have been trying to make this argument for weeks only to be told otherwise by many women on this site.

Strong, independent women who "get stuff done" do NOT need to be called "Bitch"

Gay people do NOT need to be called "f*9"

African-Americans do NOT need to be called "n!99er"

You do NOT neutralize the word by making it part of the lexicon. You simply dumb down an entire culture and society.

any doubts? hang out at a middle school some day and see how disgusting it is that these kids think these terms are equal to "buddy" or "dork" or "girlfriend" -- lead by example is right!

qdemn7 -- you obviously have never worked in TV news. You do not take a day off for an elective colonoscopy in Sweeps Month. Shelly Ross is a proven commodity. She is encountering an entrenched society of old-school CBS newsies who are unwilling to do what it takes to create a Number One Morning Show. I say this not because I know her personally, but I've been in the business long enough to know what's she's up against. CBS has had the number three morning show for decades. If CBS throws her under the bus, it will mean they don't want to be number one. If I were Sean McManus, I would tell everyone who's not happy with Shelly to voluntarily clean out their desk and take a hike.

Bitches get shit done, man!!!

Wouldn't Michelle Obama be better suited to handling the bitch department ? She seems to have a lot to bitch about everytime she opens her mouth so she certainly has the experience.

First of all, real leaders lead through positive motivation and team building. Tryants and unstable
people in positions of power engage in wholesale abuse.
As for any correlation with Hillary, Hillary may be many things, (and I believe she is all of many things as alleged), but even Hillary does not bully and abuse anyone but her adversaries. Big difference. Even Hillary treats her staff and associates appropriately. Ms. Ross sees everyone as an inferior
subhuman whipping post. The only people she treats well are those she perceives as being able
to further her upward personal goals.

What we are talking about here is the incarnation of Leona Helmsley with a face lift.

I see many similarities here with Shelley's ABC experience. Charlie Gibson also is a
very dear and much beloved man. Shelley back-stabbed him as a matter of policy. He finally
reached the end of his his very long good sportsmanship and went in to David Weston's office
and told ABC that he would not review his contract and work affiliated with Shelley Ross. We see
who was the most valuable asset. Harry Smith is a good and decent man, also much loved.
He is quickly being pushed beyond his typical temperament. As are the rest of the staff.

I've been thinking about what kind of person would work 16-18 hours every day for years,
look like she never eats, and downs tequilla regularly as an office "tradition." That to me
is beyond the description of a dedicated person. That indicates to me that there may be
more to the ranting and inappropriate behavior than meets the eye.

CBS is gaining some press through the Shelley Ross spectacle, but it is the wrong kind
of attention, even for high profile media loving types.

I'll wager that CBS' Early Show will be producing their own informal version of Shelley's (previous embarrassment ) "That was the (producer) that was" , before too long.

song and dance before too long.

Yes, but at Fox it is the pundits who do the yelling and ranting!

It's not just the head producer jobs. It could be that there is nothing else to choose from. People with integrity would not work for the corporate-owned MSM in any capacity.
