that she has turned out the way she has. She's attractive (admittedly, even though all I see his her self-entitled ugly sneer lately), well educated, has had every opportunity and is seemingly happily married to a CBS reporter/anchor who seems like a decent guy himself.

So, why is she just so awful?

He did “the angry man thing” better than anybody, and with far more eloquence and panache than I’ve seen anybody else do it.

She really is as awful as she seems. It's obvious that she doesn't have any friends at work other than the already identified right wingers like andrea mitchell and chris jansing and that chuck guy. The rest of the personalities seem to actually appreciate and respect each other in a positive manner. I don't get that vibe from any of those named above.

No more. And I can understand why she comes across as, "Poor me."

She needs a new tape. So, be happy, Katy! Just for being a human being, you deserve it.

And, please remember not to make everyone else feel miserable on your behalf. That's how Keith and the pro's do it.

I'd thought of her chill faced appearance as a kind of calculating performance of reporting, and Olbermann helps me see why. So thanks for that. I haven't been a fan of Olbermann's for years, but I guess I'll be listening more to him.

And TUR is commented on frequently here so I thought it was pertinent. And the personal ferocity of the rant is eye/ear-catching, even for Keith. Those were my reasons.

I believe every word of K.O. I know Tur's transitioned Father and Katy is and has been awful to her, and is an awful person. I have never listened to a word of hers for years. I hold her in the deepest contempt.

That he hopes to never have the need to mention it again. It's very revealing in a tasteful way, he gets kudos for that. And she deserves to be exposed for who and what she is.

Katy Tur appears to be an inveterate liar. I guess it's her personality.

I read her first book and enjoyed it. I didn't take from it any of her more disgusting traits, but this video also explains that, because it's probable that she didn't write it.

She seems very shallow. I've always thought she was someone who should be on Entertainnent Tonight or Inside Edition - tabloidy, pop culture stuff. She doesn't vibe as someone who's serious at all.
