Haha most of you sheep will never take a stand for anything. She is a true American standing up for what she believes in. More power to her!

I like how you went in and edited your original post to add more context lol.
Did I do something against the rules of City-Data?
What is your point here.

LOL, "handful that think it was negative." I would think anyone thinking and using common sense would agree she should have went out in a more positive light.

Why did she do it? Because she doesn't care, she obviously doesn't want to continue in that field. Who cares if it was offensive & classless, it was funny as hell.

Handled it well? Hahaha, she had no idea what to do or say! She was basically a mute!

Oh man, I wish you were wrong, but I fear that you're right.

I agree with those who said she was very foolish to burn bridges behind her, and she surely has. She also violated some FCC rules with that, but what are the odds they'll do anything?

Ha!

If you have a hard work ethic and dedication, it will be recognized by those around you and you will be rewarded. Didn't Oprah advanced from similar small stations in Chicago and Baltimore in the 19-freakin-70s as a black woman against all odds? She sure did and look at her now. If your a pot smoking entitled loser like some people, you will never advance and more than likely screw up your chances way before that could ever happen like the f bomb girl.

Stereotype much? This "pot smoking loser" works 40 hours a week in sales in a company that sells internationally, supports a family, owns a home, as well as pretty clean cut in appearance. As are many others who partake in the "devil's weed." So much for stereotypes, eh? As for this reporter doing what she did. It probably wasn't wise doing what she did, because I am of the belief that you should never burn bridges, but if her next career is more successful, and she is happy, then who cares? More power to her.

Oh and P.S. It's you're as in YOU ARE! Not your. Signed "a pot smoking loser."

People who have never smoked pot have ridiculous assumptions about people who smoke pot. I smoke almost every night yet here I am, working my job, paying my bills, going out w/friends, seeing my family. God I'm SUCH a loser!

It really is amazing that people believe the propaganda that they've been spoonfed all of their lives regarding cannabis. And yet, a lot of these folks probably have no problem getting s*** faced off of a bottle of wine, which IMO is much worse. Don't get me wrong, I drink beer, but those who are OK with drinking, but opposed to cannabis use are hypocrites.
