Of course in my view Carole should count herself lucky not be in that picture - which oddly, reads more like a celebration of Orpha Winfrey than Barbara Walters. In addition to Hasselbeck and Carlson, I think there are a couple of other faces there that do not really qualify as impressive journalists (Kathy Lee, Deborah Norville), and in addition to Simpson there are a few other notable omissions (Gwen Ifill, Judy Woodruff).
