Nunc Scio’s media hero of the week is Mika Brzezinski, a host on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. Brzezinski refused to read the lead item news item, a story about Paris Hilton’s release from prison.
Said Brzezinski:
“I have an apology, and that is for the lead story. I hate this story. I don’t think it should be the lead. I just don’t believe in covering that story, especially not as the lead story in a newscast when you have a day like today.”
Here’s the edited exchange:
My favourite part is when her idiotic co-host says, “Mika, why do you have to be such a journalist?” Indeed.
Brzezinski is probably use to a bit more gravitas. After all, her father is Zbigniew Brzezinski, national security adviser to Jimmy Carter.
Nice to see someone standing up for some integrity- and actual news- in journalism. Things are pretty scary out there, and we need to pay a bit more attention to the world, and a lot less to vapid heiresses.
Awesome! That’s pretty sweet… let’s hope this wasn’t a carefully scripted stunt to win back the ‘high brow’ viewers…
Stunning…absolutely stunning. I want more of that news-like stuff.
But if they don’t report on it I won’t know what she was wearing. I NEED to know what she was wearing!!!! Who’s going to tell me what I should buy, or wish I could buy if I was as rich and talented and gifted as Paris.
mika is a hotty!
