- CaptainNoPants, on 11/13/2007, -14/+2298She wanted to report real news, that's one anchor I can respect.
- thorimm, on 11/13/2007, -10/+1665She also tried to set the script on fire...I love her now.
- DudeTheNerd, on 10/18/2007, -12/+765Give her a raise!
- LordSnoogins, on 10/18/2007, -8/+642Thank whatever you find holy!!!! There really is one actual JOURNALIST left on TV with priorities!!!!!
- JCSaint, on 10/18/2007, -3/+535Okay, we should contact MSNBC and let them know that we like this. A news station should report the news and not the escapades of some idiotic woman who is only famous for being rich and stupid.
The anchor's name is Mika Brzezinski and the idiot producer that wanted to lead with Paris Hilton is Andy Jones.
Email at viewerservices@msnbc.com. - wild, on 10/11/2007, -10/+490I think we found a replacement for Katie Couric...
- nace33, on 10/18/2007, -7/+444Its a sad day when we have to praise a journalist for wanting to cover the news.
- UGM2099, on 10/11/2007, -4/+367Great for her. I wish more news outlets would do this... the country is sick of Paris and we don't want to hear about her anymore.
- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 10/11/2007, -13/+348BREAKING NEWS FROM MSNBC:
"***** Paris... Everyone else has." - milkmage, on 11/11/2007, -21/+325now.. if someone would just do the same for the god damn iphone stories.
- jiyocricket, on 10/11/2007, -7/+225Someone who doesnt want to suck up to the management. 3 cheers to her. Scarborough came out to be a dim-wit.
- pcghost, on 10/11/2007, -5/+222I didn't catch her name. I want to write a note to MSNBC thanking them for hiring at least one journalist among all the entertainers that thrive on that drivel.
- Urusai, on 10/11/2007, -21/+229"In other news, I am refusing to broadcast news about Paris Hilton. Instead, we will have 24-hour non-stop coverage of my brave stand against Paris Hilton-related news."
- smart1979, on 11/12/2007, -3/+210Her name is Mika Brzezinski
- TritonX, on 10/11/2007, -3/+199Another gem given to us by Live TV.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -5/+158I agree completely. I think she is new
- rhesusattack, on 10/29/2007, -12/+151Kind of interesting that I had to scroll nearly all the way to the bottom of msnbc.com's frontpage to find the link to this video.
- ChuckIT, on 10/11/2007, -4/+136she really had a hard time with that lighter. . .so nice to have a shredder that close too.
- shanaravendare, on 10/11/2007, -3/+114To whom it may concern:
This morning I was directed to a clip of your journalist Mika Brzezinski refusing to cover Paris Hilton as a lead news story. I would like to thank her for taking the time to show that there are some people in the news industry who understand the meaning of Journalistic Integrity.
I'm currently an English Writing major in college and in our Journalism courses one of the first things we are taught is how to differentiate between what is a News story and what is just a story. To use the broadcast in question as an example; people working to change the course of a war is a news story,a celebrity being released from jail after she was put there for breaking the law is just a story. People may be interested in hearing about the celebrity, but that doesn't make it News.
If negative actions are taken against Ms. Brzezinski for her action it will only prove how far the television media has gotten from the intent of a news broadcast. I have watched as the quality of reporting has gone down for a number of years and it was heartening to see a reporter try to take back control and actually report the news.
I have no problem with your station covering Paris Hilton, or any other celebrity for that matter, but such pieces are not news and should not be lead stories on a news broadcast. If you wish to lead with such material please consider reformatting the show to be an entertainment news magazine and allow the actual journalists to do their job of reporting actual news.
XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX, PA - 7thguardian, on 10/11/2007, -7/+113Seriously, the woman just got a hundred times sexier when she grabbed the lighter.
- popothebright, on 10/11/2007, -23/+118MUST SEE: MSN still insists on using bloated, slow-running Windows Media Player instead of fast, instant-streaming flash video!
< rant on >
Seriously -- wtf are people still doing embedding media player. Not only is it hilariously slow (please wait 30 seconds while we stream... lol... wtf?) but the thing allows executable scripts. Its a wide open door for viruses and trojans and if you think they've closed all the holes you're just clueless. - cr125er, on 10/11/2007, -3/+93I logged in to digg this.
Someone clone her ass and replace all the ***** that won't stop reporting the same tired ridiculous irrelevant ***** ad-nauseum. - HypocriteDigg, on 10/11/2007, -5/+88Wow, imagine is even 5% of the mainstream media were like that. She's hot for her age BTW.
- shinedout, on 10/11/2007, -6/+86This woman is my hero! Finally a journalist with some decency. I love her.
- safacles, on 10/11/2007, -2/+79http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VdNcCcweL0
Sorry for the comment abuse, but I wanted to spare everyone else from digging through posts to find the youtube link since MSNBC's feed is down. - RadicalEdward, on 10/18/2007, -2/+71Subject: Mika Brzezinski

To Whom it may concern,
I simply wanted to express my support for Mika Brzezinski. It's about time we got some real journalism. Our country is constantly becoming stupider partly because of the focus of television and the news in particular. How is Paris Hilton walking around a leading news story? IT's NOT. Give us REAL NEWS. America can handle it.
Personally I believe Mika should get some sort of raise for her bravery. MSNBC and all news stations need more people like her.
Sincerely
XXXXXXXXXXXXX

I just did as you suggest, i just wrote a nice short email to MSNBC praising Mika Brzezinski for still have some journalistic principles and willing to stick to them. I also suggested to MSNBC that they should tell Andy Jones to stick to "real" news, if he can't do that then he should seek employment at E! or MTV where their business models are based off of pop culture.... - dictum, on 10/11/2007, -3/+59Regardless of her motives she made a good point. I for one will be tuning in to see if shes fired.
- SpockGuy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+47Not only am I sick of Paris Hilton, but I'm sick of all pointless celebrity news in general. We need real news, not celebrity gossip *****.
One of many reasons why mainstream news outlets ***** suck. - jsballardx, on 10/11/2007, -1/+46I just emailed them to thank her for standing up for herself and not reporting non-news. Thanks for the email address.
- smokecheck, on 10/11/2007, -3/+48Who gives a rat ass about some rich mentally weak and ill Paris Hilton? The anchor should be rewarded with a career at a real news media station...Wait..I almost forgot.. There are no real main stream media news outlets..Oops. I guess she'll have to stay there and continue to read propaganda
- tcquad, on 10/11/2007, -1/+43The look on her face at 2:30 into the clip (right after they show some Paris footage) is priceless. It's a combination of "I can't believe I'm stuck in this hell" with "I devoted my life to reporting for this?"
- Suspected, on 10/11/2007, -2/+40You're not the type of comment they like to read. Write about how much more you enjoyed the news cast because it covered real topics. Tell them that because of Ms. Breezinski, you are more committed to watching their news broadcast. Don't tell them about things no one cares about (e.g. your major in college) or how disappointed you will be if they decide to punish their broadcaster.
- CannedMango, on 10/11/2007, -2/+40Who were the two ***** sitting there with her?
- adcat, on 10/11/2007, -6/+44I agree, kudos to her (and MSNBC), but the cynic in me can't help but wonder if this is a calculated publicity stunt. Ignoring Paris? As she might say, "that's hawt" (for now at least. hopefully it'll stay that way).
- chawjubs, on 10/11/2007, -8/+44Someone show this lady how to use a lighter...
In all seriousness it’s about time someone did this. - adderx99, on 10/11/2007, -0/+35http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VdNcCcweL0
- moofer, on 10/11/2007, -4/+38She is my new god. Scarborough is a choad. Mika Brzezinski needs her own news network. MBNN. Sign me up.
- themattman, on 10/11/2007, -4/+38Right in the shredder :)
- novakane, on 10/11/2007, -1/+35You do realize what the MS stands for in MSNBC right?
- SeaMowse, on 10/11/2007, -12/+40Goof for her. Amen and hallelujah.
- KanosWRX, on 10/11/2007, -2/+29Good for her, what was up with her co-anchor's though trying to talk about it, I guess they gave in to the voice in their ears. Hope she moves up in the news world, we need more people like that in this world.
- KloroFormd, on 10/11/2007, -7/+33"To use this product, you need to install free software"
Any mirrors for us Linux users? - CLShortFuse, on 10/11/2007, -2/+25I'm sorry to comment abuse (i don't think this works on this system) but you can find the continuation here:

They reprinted another Paris Hilton script for her to read and she ripped that one up to. - tophu, on 10/11/2007, -2/+23OMG! Is Paris getting an iPhone!?
- Sol1, on 10/11/2007, -4/+25You shouldn't have buried that under another post.... I suggest a repost where people won't have to click to read.
- sbaecker, on 10/18/2007, -8/+28She gave me a raise. Giggidy giggidy!
- thetanman, on 10/18/2007, -1/+20God bless her. Somebody buy her a decent lighter.
- boobees, on 10/11/2007, -3/+21yeah those other two guys are complete morons
- macfanboi, on 10/11/2007, -4/+21Mika is hot!
