Mika was visibly crying in her interview with the fiance of the reporter who was

shot and killed by a disgruntled co-worker along with her cameraman. The guy talked about the young woman and it had me in tears too. She held it together but was a bit shaky along with way.

Geez, that was emotionally tough to get through today on Morning Joe.

Guess she saves her tears for white people.

And I loved how they avoided any discussion on guns. But they still found time to bash Hillary Clinton and suck up to Donald Trump.

the whiteness does play into it. My next door neighbor is an on air health and science reporter for our local abc affiliate and I thought of her immediately because the station regularly lets people go who don't work out well enough. She is really loved by her audience and if someone got pissed that he was fired but she was still around (and so popular) who knows what could happen?
