A news anchor was forced to report on Paris Hilton. In response, she set the paper on fire!
Mika Brzezinski is a news anchor for MSNBC. Brzezinski has made it a little habit of protesting trivial journalism. In 2007, she refused to read the script on Paris Hilton being released from jail.
An hour later during a news break, her producer pushed her again to read the story as the lead over Indiana's Republican Senator Richard Lugar's break with President Bush on the Iraq war. Brzezinski thought the war story was far more important.
She then tried to light the script on fire on air, but her co-host physically prevented her from doing so. Instead, she tore up the script and shredded another copy of it later.
