A non-science Heroine of the day:
On the 27th June, the producer of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" show decided to lead with the story of a certain celebutante's release from chokey. This on the same day that Republican Senator Richard Lugar decided to defy President Bush on the Iraq war. News anchor Mika Brzezinski does not want:
Mika: "I have an apology as well, and that is for our lead story... I didn't choose it... I hate this story and I don't think it should be our lead ... move the prompter, thank you, alright, to the news now."
and later, as the male anchor (the eponymous "Joe"?) concludes his talking points about the senate and the house of representatives pressuring Bush to scale back the troops in Iraq, Mika begins her news rundown with:
"Well, you'd think we'd be leading with that story."
Go Mika!

I admire her for this. It made me so happy that a news anchor would stand up for her belief that crappy hollywood stuff is not as important as oh say things like the war.
What pisses me off is how her male anchors treated her as though she was acting like a crazy person and just being childish and rude.
