I have never seen anyone display as much grace as Barbara Walters when her co-anchor (Harry Reasoner I think) was so dismissive and rude to her; she just smiled and kept doing her job. If I end up with even half that level of class, I will consider it to be a win

Sadly I think this comes with the territory of being a woman in today's world. Women are so often expected to fit stereotypes that are placed on them, so I guess her male co-anchor just wanted to get a reaction out of her,

Barbara was the first female night news anchor and her co anchor hated sharing his air time with a woman. At least things have progressed...a little.

I am not familiar with this particular instance, but in my line of work, there have definitely been times where I have wanted to just yell back at someone for the way they were treating me. At one point I did get into a screaming match with a co-worker because he escalated the situation.

Barbara Walters is such an inspiration in so many ways and really shattered the glass ceiling.

Agree 100%, she was the gold standard for news anchors. Definitely one of my biggest inspirations

Wow. I just watched a clip online, I'm speechless... just WOW. He made himself look like a total jerk and she refused to be ignored. Good for her

It's kind of funny because he thought she was beneath him and now no one even remembers him at all, just "you know, one of her co-anchors." This amuses me greatly

Tell me your craziest experience working with a TV network. Here comes mine:

I'm American, but my family is mostly Colombian. I was told my aunt and cousins would come here for 2 weeks. I discovered they were going to be paid to appear in a famous Hispanic TV show, where a "judge" receives a case, hears the plaintiffs and defendants and renders a verdict. But of course, it's all fake and payed 😂 turns out she wanted me to go there (even though I don't work for that TV network) so she's sure she'll be paid at the end of the show. Wth did I just do.
