    TV Reporter Quits on Air: ‘F**k It, I Quit’

    Charlo Greene, a reporter at CBS affiliate KTVA in Anchorage quit her job on air last night, telling viewers, “$#@! it. I quit.”

    Greene was reporting on the Alaska Cannabis Club. Following the story, she revealed she is the owner of the medical marijuana business and was going to be leaving TV news so she could devote her time to pushing for marijuana legalization in Alaska.

    At the end of the report, she stunned viewers, and the newscast anchor, with this:

    nice.

    some times you do have to say $#@! IT.

    'We endorse the idea of voluntarism; self-responsibility: Family, friends, and churches to solve problems, rather than saying that some monolithic government is going to make you take care of yourself and be a better person. It's a preposterous notion: It never worked, it never will. The government can't make you a better person; it can't make you follow good habits.' - Ron Paul 1988

    Also, I doesn't really sound like she "quit" she precedes that with "not that I really have a choice" which indicates to me that she had already been fired/told this was her last show or something prior to going on the air.

    I suspect that had to do with the "News Story" they were just covering.
    She revealed herself as the subject of the story (Cannabisbusiness CEO).

    It would be interesting to hear the rest of the broadcast (leading up to her announcement),, but I haven't found that.

    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset.

    You'll be fired for pissing dirty (probably what happened after they found out who she was or rather, what she did on her free time).

    Yet here I am, 10:17 in the morning (my work schedule does not affect my schedule), drinking brandy and give or take a dozen or so beers, heading to bed in a bit, then work afterwards, to outwork all but only one person I've met so far in life.

    Of course employers have the right to choose who they hire or ultimately fire for whatever if any reason at all. Contracts are bastardized, companies are incentivized to have these absurd policies, and the market has been damned to be anything absent a pipe dream. Yet I'll never advocate for anything absent abolishing the regulatory protectionism infesting this country.

    In short, good for her. She seems competent enough and was probably fired for no reason aside from the level of nanograms of THC metabolites in her urine. To those, especially in the media, who regurgitate the same tired, biased, propagandized manure shoveled into the mouths of mainstream America, may they choke on a dick and die.

    Not quite as eloquent as, "$#@! it, I quit" but you get the picture.

    Somebody with Twitter should tweet her Ben Swann's recent exposé on marijuana scheduling.

    With people being locked up every 2.2 seconds, quite considerably for victimless crimes, I think it'd be a good match.

    If at least for nothing else but an interview.

    That's a much better sign-off than using her shorter F-bomb version.
    Maybe she was running up against the clock for her news segment/job.

    Cheers, Charlo! If I had to spew the media organs propaganda all day long that is how I would sign off too.

    Bonus, the follow up to cover her exit was absolutely hilarious!

    • Overwhelming majority of states ban possession/selling marijuana
    • Majority of states have not legalized medical marijuana
    • Social stigma with its use is still very widespread
    • Majority of people in red states oppose its legalization
    • Majority of Republicans oppose the legalization of marijuana
    • Many businesses will not hire you if you fail a drug test
    • Tiny, single-digit support (9%) for legalizing heroin; only 11% for cocaine (Source)

    MJ will be legalized at the Federal level before long to avoid further humiliation from nullification. THen the states will come around. There will be a few hold-outs just like there are with restrictions on alcohol, but I think the writing is on the wall with respect to MJ. the so-called hard drugs will take longer, but MJ is the camel's nose.

    The majority of people in a vast majority if not every state support medical MJ and a majority of the country now supports legalizing MJ.

    Gives me hope to see even media personalities becoming fed up with the news agendas. The other night right as a local news broadcast was ending, the male anchor was seen on camera slamming his script into the trashcan next to him as the camera zoomed out before the fade to black. He was visibly disgusted at his job, at least that night. Gives me hope.

    Certainly. Because there is revenue in legalization. Simply decriminalizing will never gain a foothold. There is no money in it. Decriminalization > Legalization. The pro-legalization people either sold out or are cashing in. It's a plant. One that should be grown in a home garden with no more regulation than a tomato.
