Guest #1 July 3, 2007 Glad to see somebody finally saying "Enough is enough!" To television bosses, it may have seemed a moment of onscreen madness. But to viewers fed up with the whole Paris Hilton saga, it was a long-awaited outbreak of sanity. American newsreader Mika Brzezinski, co-presenter of MSNBC's Morning Joe programme, refused to read out the story of the celebrity socialite's release from jail ahead of items on Iraq and developments at the White House. Mika Brzezinski attempted to set the Paris story alight in a show of disgust at it being the top news story. Miss Brzezinski then screwed up, shredded and attempted to set fire to the script on air. She told viewers: "I hate it and I don't think it should be our lead. I just don't believe in covering that story, at least not as the lead story on the newscast, when we have a day like today." She was referring to stories about Iraq and President George Bush's problems with his Republican party. Miss Brzezinski first screwed up the script and refused to read it. The enraged newsreader ripped the story to shreds Then, on the next bulletin, she refused to read it again and took a co-presenter's cigarette lighter and tried to burn it. Later, she refused to read the script for a third time and took it straight to the shredder in the studio, where she fed it into the machine. Brzezinski screwed the report up into a ball - but the Paris broadcast went ahead anyway When producers played images of Miss Hilton leaving jail in Los Angeles, where she served a sentence for a probation violation after her drink- driving conviction, Miss Brzezinski was shown with her head in her hands as the cameras returned to the studio. A clip showing the presenter's stand has been viewed more than 250,000 times on the video website YouTube. Her stance drew hundreds of supportive comments online. ----------------------------------- mh ."The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."

Rookie120 0 #4 July 3, 2007 About damn time! With all the stuff going on why are the producers trying to lead the news with that dumb cunt? If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,132 #8 July 4, 2007 . . . and another Paris Hilton thread is started, ensuring the propagation of this story for another week. Paris Hilton (and people like her) will continue to dominate the news as long as this happens. If you are sick of these stories, don't listen to them. Don't participate in threads about them. Don't burn her stories on the air. Don't list the top ten reasons you hate her. Instead, just ignore her. Listen to news stations that report on foreign news instead of the latest spectacular fire, the latest starlet scandal and the latest list of things in your bathroom that will kill you. Watch how fast she goes away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbrown 26 #9 July 4, 2007 You go girl ! Hey, is she any relation to Zbigniew Brzezinski ? It's just not that common a name. He was the only member of the Carter administration who ever showed any amount of spunk either. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
