You're really going to try and draw that comparison? Ralph Klein was a respected and hard hitting reporter. He uncovered stories, thoroughly researched issues and oh by the way, covered municipal politics on a daily basis for almost 10 years! Meanwhile Barb has been a newslady for 20+ years, I will give you that. But in reality, all Barb has done for those 20 years are attempt to look pretty and read from a teleprompter five nights a week. IIRC she used to also do a fluff "public interest" type piece every year or so...to call her a reporter would be a laugh.
On top of all of that, Klein had something like 10 years public relations experience before even becoming a reporter. Not to mention the fact he was one of the most prolific personalities to have ever run for office in this city.
Nothing personal against Barb, I am sure she is a great lady. But (@ 4x4) the qualities you mention her having, while admirable, give no indication she even has the wherewithal to take on a responsibility this large and wide ranging.
