Subject: Newscaster's on-air Paris protest
Written By: Philip Eno on 06/30/07 at 5:36 am
US newsreader Mika Brzezinski has attempted to burn her script live on television in protest at being made to lead her bulletin on Paris Hilton.
The co-presenter of MSNBC's Morning Joe programme refused to read out the story about the celebrity socialite's release from jail ahead of items on Iraq.
"I hate it and I don't think it should be our lead," she said, before tearing up and trying to set fire to script.

I couldn't care less about Miss Hilton, nor do I think it should be the lead story, let alone be on the news at all. Save that crap for the gossip magazines.

Superb!
She's quite possibly the most respected individual in the media today!

My first thought was "Gee, this Bim forgot that her job is not about the news, it is about RATINGS."
But now that I think of it, maybe she remembered that after all. 'Twas a publicity stunt pure and simple. Likely in cahoots with MFNBC muckity mucks too. :P

I dunno. After watching the clip it didn't seem like she was trying all that hard.

You do raise a valid point. It didn't look like she was putting much effort into it.

I wanted to see her burn it lol
There is way too much freaking news about Paris Hilton, it's sickening. So some snobby rich socalite gets out of jail. Does it really take precedence over news of Iraq? Ever since Paris got out of jail, she's been getting millions of dollars to go on talk shows and do magazine interviews about her experience in jail. What's this world coming to when the rich get even richer for going to jail ::)

The rich shall always be with us. But we will not always have Paris.

BRAVO for her! She should get awards for preserving the integrity of the media.
I'm glad she didn't burn the script though, that would've been a waste of good paper.
Parasite Hilton should be burned instead.
