I don't usually watch the morning shows. If I'm watching TV at that hour, I instinctively go to NBC's Today Show because that's what I have watched over the years. Diane Sawyer kinda bugs me so I don't usually watch Good Morning America, and The Early Show has never had anything that really made me think, "hey, I gotta watch that."
Now comes word via The New York Post that a lot of people just aren't happy at the CBS morning program ever since executive producer Shelley Ross took over last September. In fact, 21 staff members have left the show since she took over. I haven't seen turnover like this since that Paris Hilton sex tape.*
In an interview with TV Newser when she took over, Ross talked about the changes that were going to come to the show and made a point to say that she's not hard to get along with as a boss and that "people enjoy working with me. They walk out of my office and say, 'Oh my God, she was so helpful, so nice, and her notes were great on my script.'"
Hmmm...they actually say "oh my God, she was so helpful?"

It's kind of sad that Shelley really believes that people respond positively to her. She also allegedly drinks from a mug that says "World's greatest boss." Her employment history does not reflect what Shelley believes. It's kind of
sad. Maybe she'll get the message after so much public airing of anger against her.
