what i was upset about and what i did believe was sexist was they had positioned the fact that katie couric was coming on to substitute for a week while robin roberts was on vacation at "good morning america" with the opportunity to knock it into first place. it all just sounded so smarmy. it was so -- it wreaked of the chicks are duking it out. what is going on is every one of those women and those guys are aggressively fighting for those same interviews that you're fighting to get on your program at 9:00 on prime time. was it sexist? no, but it's a much better story. what's the one scene you can remember when i say "dynasty"? it's alexis and crystal fighting in the fountain. that kind of story line really goes over very well. what it's legitimate or not, it sells. it does sell newspapers. and it does sell magazines. >> ann curry herself gave an interview to "ladies home journal" and said this. it's hard not to take the criticism personally. when people say negative things or speculate, you can't help but feel hurt. i think about the people who watch. i want to feel i haven't dropped the b
