Barbara Wilters??

I know, I know..everyone loooooves Barbara Walters and every aspiring female journalist wants to be her...allegedly. But I have to tell you, I really can't stand her. And I never could. I've wanted to be a journalist for some time now and when people would ask me if I wanted to be like Babs, I would say yes of course. But that's only because I didn't know any better. Who watches 20/20 when they're 12?

She has interviewed a lot of amazing, exclusive and sometimes scary people. Didn't she interview Osama bin Laden? Someone needs to fact check that. She makes everyone cry, too. I don't think she made Osama cry. That needs fact checking too! The point is that there's no denying that she's good at what she does, to a point, but that doesn't mean I need to like it. Her legacy is behind her. Look at her now. She's tangled up in a Rosie O'Donnell vs Donald Trump arguing match. I'm mad at myself for even mentioning it. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I want to spit on both of them. I'm digressing. Back to Babs. Did she talk smack about Rosie? Well her integrity is on the line, according to some entertainment show. Someone is lying. But the thing is we shouldn't be caring about Barbara Walters anyway. She's so annoying.

If you ever watch The View, all she does is name drop all the people she's best friends with, shared cabs with, or had drinks with. Walters is self absorbed and self righteous. And even though she may be a good journalist sometimes, why should I want to be like her? I'm sorry if I've offended Bab-ites but I needed to get that off my chest. I feel much better.

Now back to this Osama thing...
