3. Hey, hey!
Lookie here. When did this happen? I rarely watch the news. And why was Joe such a prick? Oh wait, it's Joe. I wonder what repercussions are going to come of this. Mika was quite pissed.

6. I'm out of the loop...
Has Scarborough been downgraded to morning news with Abrams taking over the 9 p.m. slot? What arrogant pricks he and that other guy were (whoever that other guy was!).

9. Thanks...I haven't been keeping up.
I watch Olbermann, but hit the "off" button immediately afterward.

I have a feeling all the infotainment will stop when Democrats move into the White House in January. Then we'll have disinfotainment 24/7.

11. You know who her father is, right?
Jimmy Carter's Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski.

I was looking for the Wiki link just to confirm her dad's ID. But look at the last paragraph of her Wiki.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mika_Brzezinski

On June 27, 2007, Brzezinski refused to air a story about Paris Hilton's release from prison. She attempted to burn the story's script on air but was prevented from lighting it by a co-host. Later in the newscast, she subsequently tore and shredded copies of the story. <1>


The footnote leads to a link to the video shown in the OP.

Somebody must be very proud of her!

12. Good to see someone in the media who doesnt think Paris is newsworthy.
Scarborough is a douche.

15. Love it!
It is about time a female journalist is more than a pretty face or a side-kick for a guy. I hope she gets the recognition she deserves from MSNBC. Maybe SHE should follow Keith in prime time!

34. Now your talking. Be still
my heart two good people in a row. If Danny boy won't give up his time slot then put her in Tuckers'. MSNBC is falling down on its job. It is news and not a place for sluts like coulter to trash our ears.

16. Way, way overdue
Edited on Thu Jun-28-07 09:36 PM by thickerstrings
I'm having trouble believing my eyes. A newscaster who finally told the truth: that talentless attention whore should be ignored, not pitied, admired or even recognized! Mika should be the president of all cable news, which, frankly, sucks from top to bottom; those two men are prime examples of that.

19. I just wrote Msnbc
Stating she and Olbermann seem to be the only sane staff members they've got. Perhaps they ought to put them in charge!

24. She should be on Keith Olbermann's show when Olbermann is off. DEFINITELY.
This woman has GRAVITAS.

22. Scarborough SNIFFED the Paris story that Mika had ripped up?

25. she meant it
She was sick to death of it. Brava Mika!

Also thanks to the poster who provided the Wiki. I didn't know who her father was.

Scarborough is such an ass. But I loved the expression on Mika's face when the camera went back to her.

26. even Scarborough looks like he doesn't want any Paris stories
notice how he looped in a comment on Lindsey Lohan, another celebrity I don't want to hear about. He sounded pretty tired and sarcastic about these idiot stories, too. But he just couldn't resist an opportunity to be a smug asshole at the same time, however. Give Mika the Medal of Freedom!

30. Yeah Mika - She said "I'm going to do the news now!" You got it right Mika - Paris is at best fluff
Edited on Fri Jun-29-07 08:07 AM by 1776Forever
With so much out there in the REAL world news that effects millions of humans WHY do the so called news broadcast stations choose to report about a spoiled little brat? Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!

31. The pressure is getting intense. Canceling the news is tough for someone wanting to be a journalist.
Edited on Fri Jun-29-07 09:01 AM by Mika
Its only going to get worse.

32. We are hoping with
people like her, we'll actually get our news channels back!

Rarely does anyone ever have the courage to do that on Air.
Don't these companies realize if I want information on Paris, or Bennifer (remember when they broke into programing to say they broke up!!) that's what Entertainment tonight is, or the E channel, or the check out isle in the grocery lane. I don't want it on my NEWS programming!

I think someone ought give that lady a raise and her own show!

Stop dumbing America down with this dribble and report the damn news

38. Nice to see some integrity
in journalism for a change. It's too bad Scarborough had to be a bit of a prick, though.

So we know where she gets it from. :)
