Finally, A Reporter with Some Integrity
And from MSNBC no less. Check out the video of what happened when MSNBC anchor, Mika Brzezinski refused to go the route of "Paris TV" you know, "All Paris, all the time".
Of course, that flip, Joe Scarborough and his gang try to ridicule her for not giving in to demands of sensationalism and for trying to be a journalist. In fact, he even says to her,
"Why are you being such a journalist?"
On national television, he asks a news reporter why she wants to be a professional and to read the fluff. And he has the audacity to tell her SHE's the cop out? "Take control of your life?"
That's Joe Scarborough for you. He apparently graduated at the top of his class at the Keith Olbermann School of Journalism.

She's not the first

HAPPY CANADA DAY
Ok, ok. I cheated. I forgot to post about my country's 140th birthday, so I'm "editing in" this little postscript. Unfortunately, I thought this year's celebrations were a little low-key and a couple of articles concur with that. Here's one.
As for our boys and girls in Afghanistan, they did their own celebrating.
I don't get it. You hear all the time about how Canada is this great nation, which I agree; at least it used to be before it became a socialist's haven. I love the U.S. I respect it's Rule of Law and the giving of its people, but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Mind you, I wouldn't mind the commute to work in the States to make that American dollar (or I could wait until the North American Union kicks in with all its benefits-HA) but while the United States marks it's birthday every July 4th with massive parties, fireworks and national mainstream news coverage, in Canada, not so much. I mean there is the same parties and fireworks, but the I don't think the meaning really rings true with a lot of Canadians. It seems we are more cognizant about the meaning of freedom on November 11th. It seems Canada Day is just an excuse to stay home from work and prove to the world once again our love of beer. I just don't get it.
Aaaaaaaaand just for fun...
