A Newscaster who Gets It!

[3113]

A serious, journalistic newscaster! I thought they were all extinct! But witness...amid the sell-outs and Katie Courics...there is one left. Just one, brave, courageous soul....

The Last Real News Anchor

If I had the money and power to put on a news show, I'd hire this woman in a red-hot second as lead anchor.

I wonder what the fallout will be like. I foresee accusations that she's jealous because she's not "hot like Paris", then some reports that she's mentally unstable, and a sudden relocation to a subsidiary station with a viewership of three.

One of the three in that clip shouldn't ever be on camera again. Sorry Joe. Paris Hilton is NOT news.

She's my new hero. They kept giving her the story and she kept tossing it aside, utterly refusing to give in! You go girl!

If they had more newscasters like her I'd watch television more often.

Ms. Brzezinski. You rock!

I do want to punch those talking heads with her though. I could see she wanted to as well.

Yes, they were definitely acting like jackasses.

Mika rocks.

Unfortunately, people still want to see and hear about Paris. If Paris didn't sell, she'd be dropped like yesterday's news.

Plain and simple fact of life - Mass media only ever gives us what they think we'll pay for.

That is so awesome. I love Mika! Joe and that other guy from Tucker are usually really cool, I don't know what their beef was. They should've agreed with her.

And isn't that pathetic? I am embarrassed for our species at times.

How are you doing, raphy?

I'm doing okay, actually, all things considered, happy in my TV and newspaper-free blissfully ignorant world.

We're trucking along here, just taking everything day by day, y'know. Times are still good, whisp is still strong, we're still having fun with life

 

[flavortang]

Anyone know how to contact Mika to show support?

Day by day.

Strength and good wishes to you both.

though not an anchor, CNN's Michael Ware, in Baghdad is *excellent.*

They did, really. They teased her, but they egged her on. Joe was speaking very sarcastically at the end, about Newsweek featuring her and Lindsay Lohan, and he said something like; "Thank God I'm not on in the evening, because I don't have to do them anymore."

And then he says; "And now, here's Mika Bresinski, with the News.

I'm not the best at finding out such info, but you can try:

viewerservices@msnbc.com

The show she's on is (I believe) "Morning Joe."

 

[jomar]

Good for her if it wasn't a gimmick. Even if it was it was more fun than hearing about how Paris found God and let time serve her instead of her serving time. Barf.

 

[Lee Chambers]

It's things like this that caused me to stop wanting to be a journalist when I was in school. Seeing how media really worked and that no one reported the news anymore, I decided it just wasn't worth the teeny, tiny price of my soul.

A little reality check here folks.

I bring to your attention such films as "Broadcast News", "Deep Impact" and an older film entitled, "The Paper", I think.

The 'Anchor' person is simply the top of a wide based pyramid, the face and voice before the public.

Managing editors, producers and directors and writers determine not only 'what' news will be broadcast but the content of the text of how it will be presented.

There is very little, 'rip and read' news reporting as was common place some time back, when a newsperson would 'rip' the teletype paper off the machine, (usually Associated Press), and read into a microphone or before a camera, current news.

So while you may appreciate (or not) the quantity and quality of reportage on Paris Hilton, Anna Nicole Smith or Elizabeth Smart, the decision and the content is not and never has been the province of the anchor person.
