Deborah Norville Slams Rita Cosby: You'll Never See Me Anchoring "From A Whorehouse"
Update: 3:15pm: "Rita didn't ANCHOR from a whorehouse; but Norville did lock herself up in prison for Inside Edition. "Hello, pot? This is the kettle. YOU'RE BLACK," an e-mailer responds...

In a must-read Q&A with the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Deborah Norville explains what happened to her ill-fated MSNBC show "Deborah Norville Tonight:"

"One, you cannot do two full time jobs at the same time. It was impossible, and it was killing me. ... And increasingly, they wanted the show live. They wanted it live because Laci Peterson's mother might cry at the trial. You know, the show they have on now has a lot in common. And I'm sure Rita Cosby is a very hardworking woman, but you will never see Deborah Norville anchoring a show from a whorehouse. I don't think that's the definition of news in this country."

> Nov. 14, 2005: Viewers flock to Bunny Ranch with Rita

> Jan. 13, 2005: Norville leaves MSNBC


She's pretty much a middle of the roader, but I certainly applaud this little outburst.

1. I always liked her.
Thought she got a bum rap from the Today Show business, but I suppose she's better off.

2. I didn't like her on MSNBC
her show was "b-string" celebrities and newsmakers in my opinion...at least the few times I watched.

I suppose it's good to note that I had no clue what her politics were....

hmmmmmm

maybe I was asking too much.

3. Her interviews weren't bad
I only caught her a few times but at least she wasn't downright offensive and that is a lot considering it's cable news. At least she wasn't run to the remote and shut it off like Rita Cosby.
