Mika Brzezinski, an anchor on MSNBC’s morning show (actually called ‘Morning Joe’), recently had enough of Paris Hilton and decided let everyone know about it.
Her producers figured Hilton’s release from prison was top-story material, to which Brzezinski disagreed.
It’s really too-little, too-late, however it’s still good to see someone in US news be so clearly agitated and opposed to coverage of this torturous Hilton saga. Maybe if all the other anchors and reporters were told they were “not a journalist anymore” for covering the story, they might take similar action.
The reaction of the presenter to her right is pretty embarrassing, though, as he seems keen to tow the editorial line and keep in the favour of the show’s producers.
When Brzezinski is faced with the story for a third time she takes it to the shredder.
