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

Hello Fishes,

But only thing which I would be losing out here in my current organization is the 10% variable component and the EY brand
