CBS Sports Amanda Balionis has taken to social media to hit back. Amanda Balionis has hit back at detractors following her Saturday CBS interview with Ricky Fowler at the Charles Schwab challenge. This follows last week’s Fiori when she was criticized for apparently casting aspersions on Rory Mroy during her PGA Championship chat with Bryson Dambo. Balionis subsequently took to Instagram to reassert her views on the duties of an interviewer. The next day, Balionis fired back on Instagram, targeting people pleasers who had seemingly taken umbrage at her comments. Now, less than a week later, the 38-year-old is fighting back once more. This time, it’s in reaction to her interview with Fowler. The American golfer delivered a commendable three under third round, leaving him just four strokes a drift of joint leaders Ben Griffin and Mattie Schmid in third place. In their postround discussion, Balionis pointed out Fowler’s pudding average, which currently ranks him 125th on the PGA Tour, but saw him climb into the top 10 at the Colonial Country Club. She also broached what it felt like for him to be back in contention for a title after being stuck in what she termed neutral. However, it appears viewers were not entirely satisfied with what they heard and expressed their dissatisfaction. Something Balionis was quick to respond to. After revealing some of the intense criticism she’s faced, Balionus said, “When we talk about being you instead of trying to be what you think others perceive as perfect or good enough, here is an example of how the latter is simply an impossible and draining task.” She proceeded to share two damning messages. One which read, “CBS should have fired a man some time ago. She is a highly unprofessional journalist. Her job is to be a journalist, not to be a giggling, flirtatious high school girl.
