TV presenter refuses to report on the Kardashians, has on-air meltdown
Yahoo News ^ | 08/12/2015

We’ve all had those days at work right?

Those days where you want to set your computer on fire, flip your boss the bird and yell ‘you literally couldn’t pay me to keep doing this’ as you storm out the door.

A news anchorman in Orlando, US, has had a work-related meltdown, almost worthy of your darkest and weakest on-the-job moments, after having to report on the Kardashians.

During the broadcast John Brown took exception to reporting on Kris Jenner naming her rabbit Bruce.

He stood up and walked off the set of ‘Good Day Orlando’ as soon as he heard the K word mentioned.

He can be heard saying: “I’m having a good Friday so I refuse to talk about the Kardashians today, you’re on your own Amy."

"I can’t take any more Kardashian stories on this show ... I don’t care, I’m sick of this family. I can’t take it anymore,” he can be heard yelling.

“It’s a non story, we’re talking about a non story. We’re talking about this family every freaking day. No body cares about this family anymore. I’ve had enough.”

Good for him! I wish more journalists would refuse to treat this kind of tabloid gossip crap as legitimate news.

So, is the rabbit a buck or a doe?

Enquiring minds, and all that...

The whole world watches this Kardashian bull**** and think that all Americans are like that. That’s why the Muslims want all of us dead. I can almost understand where they are coming from.

I never have understood that fascination with the Kardashians, either. IMHO, the quality of checkout lane reading diminished significantly when Bat Boy left the tabloid pages, so now I read what's in the candy bars instead.

I think the Muslims want us all dead just because we aren't Muslims. Even if we were Muslims, some of the Muslims would want us dead because we wouldn't be their brand of Muslims.

If somebody told me I had to talk about such tripe, I would consider it a threat to my person and I would defend myself with every means at my disposal.

Well,

Probably been surgically altered a number of times.

Back and forth ... Where does it stop?

Dude, you’re on the morning chit-chat show with a girl in a mini-dress and another in an off the shoulder number. You are not a journalist. You’re job is the same and their: be pretty, keep people engaged through the commercial break, and don’t worry about the fact that every single thing you say is stupid.

If the whole world is watching Kardashians they’re worse than us. The K’s actually don’t get very good ratings.

The little fairy may have been pissed because of the word Bruce. You say “Bruce Jenner” in front of a lib and they will freak out.

He knows what’s up. He probably realized that the MSM is shoveling crap into our brains without reporting on things that really matter.

The K’s actually don’t get very good ratings.

E! and Esquire Network continued their momentum in second quarter 2015 with significant year on year growth. Both networks scored ratings highs for the quarter and will continue to turn up the heat all summer long with new original programming.

E!’s momentum has been driven by a variety of hit franchises such as "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," including the two-part special "Keeping Up with the Kardashians: About Bruce," which aired May 17 and May 18 and delivered 7.7M total unique viewers in L3s across both airings with part one averaging a season high and marking the most-watched episode since 2012 with A18-49. The series averaged 2.2MM A18-49 and 3.3MM P2+ (on par with season nine) and ranked #1 for the night across all key demos against ad supported cable. http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2015/07/01/e-and-esquire-network-deliver-significant-ratings-growth-in-second-quarter/425197/

...

Good point. Even in the Middle East they hate and want to kill each other.

3.3 million people out of a nation of 311 million is basically nobody. E! specializes in dirt cheap programming that can be profitable with miniscule amount of viewers.

He shouldn’t worry because he:

‘just has to look good.’ He “don’t have to be clear.”

So what's the difference between that show and this one?
