End of an Era … Barbara Walters To Retire In 2014
It will soon truly be an end of an era … Barbara Walters will reportedly retire in May, 2014.
Barbara Walters, who began her TV career for NBC’s “Today” show in 1961, but became more of a household name when she joined ABC News in 1976, is reported to be retiring in 2014. The 83 year old Walters will be hanging up her microphone. It is hard to believe she is that old and has been in the industry for some 52 years. Sadly, too many people know her for her time on ‘The View’. However, as reported at Dead Line, long before ‘The View’, Walters was a trail blazer for female journalists, becoming the first woman to co-host a news program when she got behind the Today desk in 1974 and the first co-anchor of a network evening news broadcast when she joined ABC Evening News in 1976. She also anchored ABC News’ primetime newsmagazine 20/20 for 20 years. If there was an interview to get in the 1970′s and 1980′s, Barbara Walters was doing it. Personally, I believe her best work was during her days on ’20/20′ with Hugh Downs. Although I do not agree with 95% of her opinions and political beliefs, you have to respect her for her determination, perseverance and enduring legacy.
Barbara Walters discusses her time at 20/20 with Hugh Downs … by far her best work ever.
ABC News anchor and “The View” co-host Barbara Walters will retire in May, 2014, someone familiar with the matter tells TVNewser.
ABC is expected to air a number of specials, tributes and events over the course of the next year, leading up to Walters’ formal departure. A spokesperson for ABC News declined to comment on the matter.
Walters began her TV career for NBC’s “Today” show in 1961. She would go on to break barriers in what was traditionally a man’s world. Walters was the first female co-anchor of “Today,” and was the first woman to become the co-anchor of a network evening newscast.
Walters had some recent health issues. We wish her well.

Sequester for Thee, Not for Me … Obama’s VP Joe Biden Went Thru $321,665 on Limo Rides in Paris
Joe Biden to “We the People” … Sequester fir thee, not for me … OUI, OUI!!!
More government waste … Not only dis Obama Vice President Joe Biden cost American tax payers a whopping $459,388 on a one night stay at a Paris five star hotel last week, as reported as The Weekly Standard, he also cost “We the People” another $321,665 for limo fees. Interestingly enough, the VP has a limo that is usually brought in tow when he travels abroad, so these charges must have been for staff. Unbelievable. The Obama administration is crying poor due to sequestration cuts, yet some how they manage to waste nearly $1 million to send this useless VP to Paris.
Ha, ha, ha … They bought it boss that we were for the people, what a bunch of saps
After two items last week on the cost of lodging for Vice President Joe Biden’s early February trip to Europe, other news organizations began to investigate further. Wolf Blitzer’s show The Situation Room on CNN uncovered a contract apparently also related to the same visit to Paris:
Also on the receipt was $321,665 for a limousine company.
Remember America, this is the 1% Presidency and you voted them back in office. Children are not allowed to take White House tours because that cost too much; however, Barack Obama is allowed to party it up on St. Patty’s Day, Sasha and Malia can go to the Bahamas for Spring Break and Biden can jet off to Paris. Anyone feeling buyer’s remorse and is it any wonder why Obama’s job approval ratings are starting to crater.
