Video of an MSNBC newsreader shredding and attempting to set fire to a script covering the release of Paris Hilton from jail has attracted over half a million views on YouTube.
The video shows MSNBC anchor Mika Brzezinski during three hours of the news channel's Morning Joe becoming progressively more annoyed with having to read the Paris Hilton story at the top of the hour. Show producer Willie Geist then remarked that her actions amounted to a "statement about the state of journalism in our country."
