Continuing the promotion of her new book, Audition: A Memoir, Barbara Walters made an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on May 14. Not surprisingly, Barbara Walters’ revelations of affairs with former Senator Edward Brooke, as well as Alan Greenspan, Alan Greenberg, Senator John Warner - along with the highly public feud with former View cohost, Star Jones — have boosted book sales beyond the quarter million mark in just a few days.

New York Post Page Six declares a backlash:

THE backlash has begun against Barbara Walters for admitting in her autobiography, “Audition,” to an adulterous affair 30 years ago with Edward Brooke, the then-married Massachusetts senator, while she was simultaneously seeing Alan “Ace“ Greenberg, who became chairman of Bear Stearns.

“Barbara Walters is a shameless media whore,” says Marc Dice, spokesman for conservative media watchdog group The Resistance. “Barbara has now sunk to the very level of other attention-starved celebrities such as Paris Hilton or even Steve-O from ‘Jackass.’ ”

Walters’ spokeswoman, Cindi Berger, told Page Six: “This conservative watchdog seems to have lived a sheltered life in his doghouse.”
