[edit] Political Bias

Mika is incredibly vain, pampered, and astoundingly biased. Of course, that just enables her to fit in well with other "neutral" journalists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.145.138 (talk) 17:38, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pic

Doesn't do her justice.

There's a much better shot of her at http://zeitgeist.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/29/249575.aspx 201.220.15.66 01:53, 30 June 2007 (UTC)Alan

[edit] Mika's refusal

Bravo Mika for refusing to air yet more schlock about the Hilton Hooker. Shame on your editor for keeping at you and shame on her parents for allowing both their daughter to be a fool and the media to exploit it. No one said the rich have taste. They inherited their money so they don't even have brains. I hope I live to see the day that major media returns to the news instead of trying to be the National Inquirer. But when Rupert et al. own all media they don't differentiate do they. Shame on them too. Bravo Mika, we need more folks like you and Keith Olberman. Gary amosGary amos 23:36, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

We need more journalists in the world to do exactly what she did! Excellent job. thumbs down to her co-hosts on the show who gave her such a hard time. Dwenaus 01:07, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

isn't the phrase "Mika ultimately proves that there are credible journalists out there." a bit much?

I recommend to wait a couple hours (days) with the part of article about her resulas to read news about Paris Hilton, because the situation seems like it is fake. Trying to use the lighter improperly looks weird, and the camera zoom at paper shredder looks like it was prepared before. (Jakas1 12:10, 29 June 2007 (UTC)).

• • The incident was obviously, blatantly, 100 percent, plainly staged. Utterly, completely staged. Fake. Made up. Staged. The fact that it was widely reported by the stagers and other media shills means nothing, if anything it only goes to prove even more how staged it was. If people are too naive, gullible, and TV-addled to figure out what is fantasy from what is the truth, then they deserve to be conned into oblivion. Mika was mocking people who were yearning for real news. MSNBC was mocking you. GE was mocking you. All of the corporate media continue to mock you with trivial B.S. So enjoy being conned. If they payed me millions of dollars to lie and mock average Joe Sixpack and Jane Soccer Mom, I would do it with glee, for such types deserve it all.

Paris Hilton was released from an LA County Jail, not prison. 65.31.214.82 23:24, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

• There's been plenty of non-trivial news coverage of this incident and MSNBC itself has posted a story about it, so I think we can say it is a genuine incident. However it's worth doing a little research to see if there's been any fall-out from this event. Is she still on the show? 68.146.8.46 03:44, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I just reverted the article - the Paris Hilton incident had been deleted. I believe it belongs here, as it was a notable event.--Uffep (talk) 23:00, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Useless name trivia

If her name is Brzezinski, then why include a silly statement like "In Polish her name is written Brzezińska" which is obviously false - do a google search. Don't you really mean, that had she been raised in Poland her name would have been "Brzezińska." But then what relevance that has to the article. Why inject a Polish grammar lesson into someone's biography? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.208.175.154 (talk • contribs) 03:52, July 4, 2007

You're not the only one who finds that kind of bizarre. I got so involved in editing other parts of the article that I never went back and took that out. It's about to disappear... Cgingold 13:41, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

I, happened to see this piece, and thought it unprofessional grandstanding especially since it immediately followed NBC's unsucessful attempt to secure the Hilton post jail interview. She should know better, but that appears to be the unfortunate direction of "journalism" today. Incredibly I trust Wikpedia contributors more than talking heads. They have become a joke on a par with used car salesmen as far as professionalism goes. IMHO.Tongva 22:31, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Political Bias - Continued

I agree that She frequently displays a bias and condescending manner. If fact. understanding the bias of individual news journalist is what I frequently use wikipedia. In this case and as her entry stands, The information is not sufficient to assist in developing an opinion on that topic. A standardized method of displaying the bias of all journalist would be a useful wiki tool.
