AWESOME! I am so sick of hearing about Paris Hilton WHY is her release, or going to jail in the first place, news worthy? FINALLY someone standing up.

By the way, not talking about Paris Hilton at all is the best way not show they’re taking stance. This tearing the paper on air is dramatic nonsense….it’s all for show.

African Girl you are right… they spent a lot of time on this story and this was just a way of garnering more attention.

Mika is my hero. Paris Hilton is THE most insignificant gnat on earth and she should NEVER be spoken about on any channel that claims to be a news channel.

Amazing. Big ups to the journalist. I have to note however that Paris ended up getting some publicity through them anyway, since they spent 3 minutes mentioning her name either way. The best thing they could’ve done was discussing the show before actually airing. Although I agree with the stance, I dont think Paris Filthy deserves any type of attention. She’s not a role model to anyone, and does not represent the general public

Hopefully tabloid gossip will be removed from all News media. There are more important issues to be discussed than rumours about celebs’ personal lives.

I applaud her!!! And -yes I love Brad and Angelina but I think all “gossip” and Hollywood type news should be on a segment especially for that-an entertainment segment! We are losing hundreds at war and this type of fluff does NOT belong on a real news show at all!

We need more reporters like her.

you go girl! someone needs to stand up and show that people are tired of stupid paris seriously has the girl ever done anything besides partying and being a hoe bag if she spent just half the time she spends partying doing some charity work she could actually do something good

# 49

Oi @ 06/28/2007 at 12:02 am

All that bickering gave Paris double the lead time! Anyways, I swear those two anchors totally shagged eachother at some point in the past and possibly in the future too!!

Nando @ 06/28/2007 at 12:03 am

BATTLE ON, MIKA!

I got a whole bunch of people to send MSNBC angry letters about them paying her a million bucks for her interview. They had a lighter? Do you think any of them actually smoke as professional SPEAKERS? It was staged to fight the bad publicity, which is why NBC is featuring something that, if it was random, they’d probably never show. STUNT.

Besane @ 06/28/2007 at 2:42 am

It proves that “anchors” are mere READERS=puppets. The producers control what to be said on air. This one time this woman took control perhaps risking her job or disciplinary action. Good for her, but still she is just a puppet and it’s painfully clear she realized it.

Finally a journalist who wants to report on REAL NEWS!!!!

So many of them should be ashamed of themselves! FOX news is the WORST!

# 55

Alisha @ 06/28/2007 at 3:16 am

Hey, with huge corporate entitities like the ones that exist today, one can never put a staged incident. But my ever-optimistic mind must believe it is not so; were it to be an actual fake event, it would go to show that MSNBC (and modern news media in general) has not only shifted focus from hard news to entertainment, but that they would be willing to have their anchors do a singing and dancing act rather than report hard news. sigh.

BUT then again, even given the possibility this may be an act, I’m glad even for the words “Now, on to the REAL news” having been uttered. It acknowledges the ridiculousness of this new idea of “newsworthy material”. And that’s something.

Because it’s true…stories like these belong on E! and the like…maybe even The Daily Show and such. But not MSNBC. I’m looking forward to seeing whether the network actually changes their story lineup after this…. we’ll see…

Hurray for Mika Brzezinski. She is very brave

It was not a stunt. Did you watch the clip? She was trying to be subtle and hide what she was talking about, but give the signal to her producers that she would not talk about this. Joe Scarborough was the one who called her out that she was talking about Paris. He and the other guy made an issue out of it to try to force her into doing the story. You could tell she was not faking. She felt very strongly that she should not lead with this story as it’s not news. It got erratic because they tried to force her to do something she was vehemently opposed to. They could have avoided it if they went along with her instead of forcing it. Good for her for standing up for what many people feel, and that is that things have gotten way too out of control, with Anna Nicole Smith coverage and everything else. There is no way Paris should have been a lead story. MSNBC and CNN need to be reporting news first. There is enough coverage of celebrities with E!, all the gossip shows like ET and the Insider, and all the gossip rags and blogs. CNN and MSNBC etc need to be reporting real news first and foremost. People are sick of this and it’s finally boiling over thank god! When things get too out of control, it needs to get corrected and that’s what’s happening now in our country. People are sick of too much focus on celebrity and celebutantes. We have gotten too irreponsible in that we’re ignoring important issues in this country.

Anyone who shuns Paris Hilton and those like her should definitely be applauded.

Some girls idolize those ******* and I can’t understand why when all they seem to do is devalue themselves and their family name.
