"Her comments sparked a media controversy which reportedly prompted her NBC employers to severely reprimand Banfield. While she has not commented on the issue, an NBC spokeswoman told reporters Monday, 'She and we both agreed that she didn't intend to demean the work of her colleagues, and she will choose her words more carefully in the future.'"

This was written on 4/29/2003, so she was still an employee at that time. But, I love how NBC tried to spin this as her belittling her colleagues - what a load of hogwash!
