Ashleigh Banfield Out at NBC
Advertisements [?]
Ashleigh Banfield, once regarded as a rising star at NBC News, has instead become a shooting star, burning out as the network declined to renew her contract. The New York Daily News quoted an NBC News spokesperson as saying, "Regrettably we were unable to agree on a new assignment for her. ... We thank her for her hard work and wish her well." Last year Banfield was reportedly reprimanded for remarks she made at Kansas State University in which she charged that television news producers had sanitized coverage of the war in Iraq and had wrapped themselves in the American flag in order to appeal to "a certain target demographic."
