Barbara Walters says Paris interview is beneath her!
Posted In:
Barbara Walters decided to spill the beans on why she skipped interviewing a fresh out of jail Paris Hilton, saying:
“Look, I’ve done prison interviews before, but people like the Menendez Brothers were really important news stories. This wasn’t. And even though I’d already written my questions, when all that pay-for-play stuff happened, I suddenly felt this was not up to my standard. It . . . felt . . . sort of . . . tawdry. The whole thing somehow was beneath me. Besides, it was a no-win. If I did a tough piece and her tears started to flow, it would be, ‘Oh, there’s Barbara Walters making people cry again.’ Too soft, and I’d be criticized. [ABC] they wanted it. For them it was ratings. For me it was respect. I’m fortunately at a point in my life where I can choose what I want, and this was solely my decision. But I must tell you how classy ABC was. They didn’t try to force me or say they’d place it on Nightline, or give it to someone else to do or any of the things they could have done. They respected my decision and walked away. Some agreed with my decision, some didn’t. For me it was just a question of respect.â€
Finally someone with a freaking brain in their head! While this story is surely entertaining and interesting, it is not real news, and we shouldn’t be seeing this BITCH’s face on CNN and other news channels as their main story. In case they forgot, America is in the middle of “not” being at war and being broke, you think maybe that would just be a little more interesting for real news.
