You are no Journalist or half decent talking head if you said this""I
know it's democracy, but sometimes it's hard to take it seriously."
I have it on good authority
that you were ignorant enough to say this on National Television.

You are an embarrassment to your employer & your profession.

Sincerely

Here is her response.

Oh! You're talking about the protesters!
Well, it's certainly an observation I can stand by.
And you can thank the correspondent for an excellent job
in representing all these groups.
Thank you,
Carol



I think it's Aaron Brown writing under a pseudonym.

Complete Fuckers.

2. I hadn't heard that. She is a moran


So like, what would she take seriously... 500,000 people
with bricks and guns and pipe bombs? I mean like Chicago
in '68 (and there weren't any where near 500,000 protesters then).
Jeez... empty airhead.

7. She's useless
Whenever I see her on I change the channel as fast as I can. She's always talking about bad news with such a huge smile on her face.
