Barbara Walters: To Get Lifetime Achievement Emmy
(Getty)
And it's about time!
(What took NATAS so long?)
But good for Babs.
It'll be presented September 21, 2009 at Frederick P. Rose Hall, Home of Jazz at Lincoln Center, located in the Time Warner Center in New York City. These awards are very big deals, by the way; this is not some rubber chicken dinner citation, but the biggest and best that NATAS hands out.
“NATAS is delighted to honor this very special woman,” said Frank Radice, President of the Academy. “Barbara’s career is a remarkable one with few in broadcast journalism coming close to matching it. Many years ago I worked as a field producer with Barbara at ABC News and I never saw anyone work as hard. She was, and continues to be, an inspiration.”
Bill Small, Chairman of the News and Documentary Emmy Awards, cited her long and distinguished service at ABC, and before that at NBC. “Barbara is one of a kind,” he said, “a prime example of what journalists can achieve in television news. She remains one of the medium’s great interviewers and also an inspiration to women who, as a result of Barbara’s pioneering role, now work in every phase of broadcast journalism. When Barbara began her career few women could expect to get ahead in news, but she did, with skill, intelligence and perseverance."

I do not believe she should receive the award. Americans hold celebrities to higher standards, and when they use the handicapped or neurologically impaired as catalysts for their folly, they should be held accountable. I am happy for her journalistic acheivments, but I am repulsed that this woman has implied horrendous ideations when these days she wears her deficits like scars.
She is wanting to honor a traitor Jane Fonda.
YOU really need to find out the truth of what happend during the
trip that Jane took to Vietnam and LIES and deaths that SHE caused
to our soldiers during her little visit,
I find it hard to honor Jane Fonda in the 100 Women of the Century.

Hello,
My name is Clinton. I watch your segment on Resveratrol. I found it very interesting, and I thought you might also be interested in a little yellow pill called Protandim. It has the effects of Resveratrol times a million. It has been studied, and proven, to slow down aging by reducing oxidative stress levels in the body to the levels of a child. John Quinones from ABC Primetime was a part of the study done in 2005. The study is published in peer reviewed medical journals.
Oxidative stress is linked to over 229 diseases, so reducing oxidative stress also reduces the effects of these diseases. LSU released a study in April that showed Protandim prevents the growth of skin cancer, and there are currently 20 other universities engaged in independent studies of the effects of Protandim on different diseases, like diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, coronary artery disease, and many more. Protandim increases your body's natural antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, glutathione), and these enzymes are millions of times more effective at fighting free radicals than external antioxidants.
Dr. Joe McCord, the scientist who developed Protandim, is the same doctor who discovered SOD's in 1968. He has spent his life developing a pill that will unlock the key to slow down the aging process, and he has done it! Montel Williams has been taking Protandim for 3 years to help with his multiple sclerosis. Dr. Perlmutter has joined the scientific advisory board of LifeVantage, the company that makes Protandim. I have attached the ABC Primetime Special about Protandim. I think you will find it very interesting.
