While I find her a bit excessive (trying to light the script on fire), I still think we need more of reporters with this kind of integrity and ideals.

I loved it. They kept giving her the copy when she said she wasn't going to do it. I wish more people were like her.

Now if only someone can do that to stories of the iPhone.

I get the first one .... not sure what you're reading from the second expression?

In the second photo she's defecating under the desk, off-camera. Right?

Good for her.
I do not watch most of the pundit based shows so I didn't see this, but we need a lot more of these kind of decisions being made by media pundits. We also need a country full of people who are not so pathetically desperate to avoid the truth of real news that they are willing to feed the celebrity off someone whose only claim to fame is that she had sex with her boyfriend on a video tape.

Correct Mike. ;-)
The idea was "I am annoyed" but take it how you will.

It's journalism taking its profession back. :)

Or it's just a stunt to get reactions like this? It didn't have to go on for so long and be so over dramatic. ;)

You speak the truth, Devin. I guess one thing that tempered that is that she looked somewhat genuinely distraught. But yeah...now that you point it out...

I think she was genuinely upset and didn't want to cover the story. I also think the producers decided to milk this for all it was worth and encouraged her co-newsman to taunt her and up the drama. Pathetic.

Yeah, who knows. Either way, it seems a tad unprofessional... just skip it and let it be? She almost acknowledged the story even more by making it a big deal... ;)

A bit unprofessional, much too drawn out, but you have to love how she just breaks in to the next story like nothing ever happened.

Funny how they insist on her doing the Paris Hilton story, and then as soon as it's about to end when she's talking about Congress challenging the integrity of Bush, one of the guys says "Now this is news".
In this type of world where heads must roll for shit like this, I will be upset if she loses her job over this.

Great morals BUT her job is to PRESENT the news. If she wants to determine what goes into the broadcast she can give up the infront of camera glamour position and get behind the scenes.
PATHETIC!! and dumb - she ended up given more coverage to PH than if she had just read it through and made no comment. So pathetic and dumb - ideal attributes for a presenter I assume.

I salute and thank her although she did go a bit too far.

This is all a fabrication. If for one minute this news channel didn't want this scene to happen, the producer would have cut to commercials. This is about getting viewer ratings through a bit of cheap scandal, even cheaper than a story on Paris Hilton. If she really believed in what she was saying she would have got up and left.
