The thing about this woman, Betsy—who I’ve never met and who may not be so bad!—is that her work seems very sour grapes-ey. And by that I mean it appears as if she feels left out of this big media party, and so, to better deal with this perceived scorn, she’s made a whole career out of being mean and petty to all the jerks who didn’t invite her to the dance. And she’s right about a couple things: Media CAN feel VERY cliquey, and everybody DOES actually hate her, and that probably makes her even angrier and even more willing to dig in her heels. And in the end it’s just really sad to watch, mostly for a thousand reasons that have nothing to do with Betsy and everything to do with an entire industry and culture and world.
