Newsreader's anger over Paris story



This is astonishing footage. Mika Brzezinski disagreed with her editor's choice that Paris Hilton should be the leading news story and, rather than read it out, chose to rip it up and then shred it live on air.

"You have changed the world," mocked host Joe Scarborough."Yes I have," replied Brzezinski, "at least my world."

"I just don't believe in covering that story, especially not as the lead story in a newscast when you have a day like today," she said. Brzezinski was brought up to consider weightier matters than a pampered socialite. Her father, Zbigniew Brzezinski, served as national security adviser under President Jimmy Carter.
