* MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski surprised her “Morning Joe” co-anchors, producers and viewers June 26 when she refused on air to read a story about celebrity Paris Hilton because it was not newsworthy enough to lead the newscast. Brzezinski said a story from Iraq was more important and first ripped the script by hand, then attempted to burn it, then finally put it in the shredder. “We need to have an open discussion about what is news and what is not,” she said.
This is what needs to be said more and more — let’s leave a young 20something woman alone to figure out her life – her shit – and let’s talk about the WOMEN suffering in Iraq and around the world! WAY TO GO MIKA!!!
This really impressed me and I am so glad Mika did this, more people need to wake up and speak their truth.
