It's not offensive to me, in the least.
I say more power to that woman.
True journalists are few and far in between.
Most of what you see are just parrots and puppets.
If the public wants to call them out, I say go for it.
I'm not questioning her right to engage that person in a debate of ideas. Her "reasoning" and tactics were grossly misguided. She came across as a gross monster.

And that's YOUR perspective.
I didn't see the woman as "gross" or a "monster" at all.
Why is she gross?
She just seemed like a woman fed up with the nonsense and fed up with the propaganda.
Hi lilyflower,
The reporter's mask was part of the reason why the woman confronted the reporter.
Wearing the mask was part of the fear propaganda the reporter was engaged in, in the woman's perspective.
I didn't see where the woman was in the reporter's face. Maybe I missed that part, I just saw a woman confronting a typical puppet reporter.
The reporter's mask was part of the reason why the woman confronted the reporter?
well, I respect your opinion, but I doubt this is the reason. Even if this is the reason,
Mask, does not protect the reporter, the mask, prevents the reporter from infecting other people. So the reporter was acting responsibly. The protester, however, could easily be a silent corona virus carrier.
I get some people just don't take this illness seriously, but many do. So at least respect each other's boundaries.
If I saw a mask wearing person, I'd think they acted responsibly. I'd stay away from him/her. It's like a unwritten social contract: I see what you are doing, you do what you have to do. I will practice social distancing, and thank you for being responsible.
I don't know if masks are good enough to prevent spreading of the virus, but I don't believe wearing a mask makes situation worse.
This is just my .02
All these blah blah being said, I understand people have the right to protest; I certainly understand people need to go back to work, put food on the table, I even understand people need to go to the park, walk their dogs, go to the beach, etc, etc, etc. I understand all that. Maybe there is a better way to get her point across.

Of course it's my opinion.
If you want to hitch your wagon to that monster go right ahead. She came across as an uneducated slovenly bully.

No_Recess apparently thinks that fat shaming women is ok as long as he disagrees with her politically
.
In this clip, the woman is asking questions. She is not even yelling.
She is raising her voice, she is pointing, she is not keeping a respectful distance, with or without pandemic. That's assault.

Oh, for crying out loud. The reporter was against a wall, and was approached by this woman pointing fingers, not letting the reporter get a word in edgewise.
Any suggestion that a TV news department would hire someone to stage a confrontation is beyond ridiculous. No one in the news business has the time or energy for such stupidity. Nevermind that WCMH is owned by Nexstar, which is not known for spending money on necessities, let alone frivolities.
The reporter's mask is irrelevant. At least she was wearing one.

That's the exact opposite of what young reporters do - they question everything, report everything (sometimes in painstaking and/or painful detail), analyze everything. Reporters come out of college and start their careers just like everyone else does. There's no age limit, one way or another.

Ageism. Awesome.
You're judging the reporter's credibility and credentials based on her looks and age? Seriously?

The reporter was stationary. The woman approached her, not the other way around. Time for that stupid woman to quit pointing fingers, back off, and put on a damn mask. It's not that hard.

And it doesn't occur to you that it was the woman who was wrong, and not the reporter? The reporter is following the guidelines of medical experts. The woman is following her own delusions.

She's gross because she's taking out her paranoid delusions on someone who is just standing there doing her job. Her behavior is inexcusable.

Again, in my opinion.
She came across as a bully to me too. There is no reason to mock the reporter because she was shaking in fear.
Just the other day, when I took out the trash, I saw an elderly lady walking towards me. She stood there, didn't know what to do. I immediately stepped back because I knew she was afraid. While she walked very slooooooooooowly away from me, she smiled and waved her little hand. I assume this is her way of saying, "Thank you." This whole incident just made me sad, mad all at the same time. Life sucks, for so many of us.
many people (young or old) are very afraid of this virus, and they have damned good reasons to be afraid. It sucks that we all stuck in this situation. It is the uncertainly really is scary to me.
This virus certainly brought out the worst in many people.
This said, if she hasn't mocked the reporter for being afraid, I'd take her as another opinionated know-it-all, like every one of us on cd here, yeah, including me. lol But no, many of us are not bullies like her. Thank God for that!
