There was a scandal or firing involving her in the mid-1980s, famously referred to in a Bloom County strip where she was amongst the dandelions recovering, but I can't remember the actual scandal. If anyone has details, they should add them.

I recall that Ellerbee was also married to John David Klein following the Ellerbee marriage. I also seem to recall that the "and so it goes" line was adapted from Kurt Vonnegut. (Link2dan (talk) 20:30, 15 December 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Yes. Whenever there was a death in Slaughterhouse Five, Vonnegut wrote "and so it goes." 2601:155:300:F680:B9CB:13B8:83B9:4B39 (talk) 22:18, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]



I believe "And so it goes" was first used as a sign-off by Lloyd Dobyns in the 1970s, who was later Ellerbee's co-anchor on NBC News Overnight. Aug. 2011 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.88.168.15 (talk) 03:41, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Photo?!?

Seriously?!? Why is there a 1970s era photo in the infobox for this woman. She deserves a heck of a lot better. BrillLyle (talk) 19:21, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Don't really need an explanation on photo policies. I am objecting to the existing photo. BrillLyle (talk) 22:42, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Scandal?

I know this person is still alive and the article being maintained by a publicist, but it seems her career was not as bright and conflict free as suggested by this article. Ellerbee was still a relatively well known name in news when she made the leap to Nickelodeon. This was a jump no real reporter would make willingly. Although a professional who went on to distinguish herself in children’s news, just like the rest of her career, something happened around this time that should be documented. I recall her being a coffee pitchmen, perhaps for Maxwell House. This was considered a bit unseemly at the time, as news anchors rarely banked upon their personal credibility to sell products. Was this just a poor choice? Was the choice necessitated because her “real news” assignments dried up and she was facing bankruptcy?

So Ellerbee is a respected reporter who often fought during her career to have the WHOLE story told. Why is this not so in her own Wikipedia entry? Scandal may be a unfair word, perhaps she just aged out of the demographic and networks found her too old to deliver real news. Something killed her career and it should be documented. Barbara Walters is somehow the grande dame of elderly news, not because she was better looking or more talented than Ellerbee. In fact Walter’s still can’t get her pronunciation correct after 60 years stumbling over her own words. So what happened to Linda Ellerbee? And so it goes, the world needs to know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.235.68.109 (talk) 15:21, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
