Baba Wawa feel betwayed

What kind of megalomaniac is Barbara Walters?

Entertainment gossip site TMZ reports that Walters is taking personal offense over Meredith Vieira's having accepted the co-host job on the Today Show.

Sources connected with Barbara Walters and ABC tell TMZ that Barbara Walters is angry at Meredith Vieira for leaving 'The View.' We're told that Walters feels betrayed after giving Vieira such a launching pad over the last nine years.


We're also told Walters is angry at ABC for not matching Vieira's NBC offer. Vieira will reportedly earn $40 million over the next four years for anchoring 'Today.'

What on earth?

The Today Show gig is one of the biggest plums in television. In fact, the only plum bigger is the one that the former co-host left Today to take: network news anchor.

Walters actually believes Vieira should have let this opportunity pass out of loyalty to her? The View is a job! You take jobs, you leave jobs. She's leaving this one to take a better one.

Get a grip, Baba.
