    There has to be a dad in the picture who thinks his princess hung the moon and will subsidize her creativity until she is properly recognized for it.

    I don't think this is going to be similar to the guy who said "fucking shit" on the air on his first day.

    I think she's going to get another job very soon.

    If you're crying while you're watching porn you're doing it wrong.

    Not as a reporter she won't.

    I'll bet she has another job on TV within 90 days.

    Applebee's, maybe.

    She's not getting an on-air TV gig.

    Seriously, Mizzou, there is no reason to hire her and a published list of ten reasons not to.

    She wrote about behavior ranging from unprofessional to criminal, and then doubled down on it when her boss told her to take it down.

    Why on earth would someone hire her for that? There is no positive publicity out of this for any station. She's not even vaguely sympathetic. She's a whiny, unprofessional asshole who doesn't get why that's not being celebrated. No manager in the world wants to deal with that.

    I could be wrong as I've never worked at any TV station, let alone done hiring for on-air talent, but if I'm a boss/HR manager looking to make a hire and this person were in front of me, I'd expect nothing but trouble from her, from Day One. And she readily admits she cuts corners and doesn't do things the "right way" in her reporting.

    Is there any indication her talent is at the level where it makes up for those shortcomings?
