8. Actually, I think it shows she at least has a sense of humor
Which one of us would want to be caught with an open mike in a bathroom, chatting with one of our friends about family members that work our last nerve?

>Fuck This Stupid Vapid Crack Head<

Uh...whatever.

10. Spare me. She has no choice but to try to laugh it off and save her
credibility by showing what a "great sport" she is. I'd bet this was run thru PR folks and CNN honchos and chosen as the best way to "get beyond" the situation. She's a bimbo.

14. I guess I don't understand the vitriol
>I'd bet this was run thru PR folks and CNN honchos and chosen as the best way to "get beyond" the situation.<

Of course it was.
I'm thinking that most people would be humiliated. I'd also like to think that some could put themselves in her shoes for 30 seconds, and imagine how nasty it would be to find out that not only did you pee on live national television, you criticized family members in an off the record conversation.

19. She's a White House correspondent for CNN,
the President of the United Stars is giving a briefing and instead of listening to what he has to say she's in the bathroom gossiping like a 15 yr old. If it weren't for the audio snafu she would been asked by the anchorperson to appear after the prez was finished and help us interpret what he's just said. You get my meaning? How many other times has this bimbo had her head up her ass and then been asked to bestow upon us her wisdom as a journalist?

Look, I consider the GOPs dominance of the media and their ability to get any old horseshit they feel like disseminated by the likes of Kyra Phillip (she once peddled the line that Dems were "smearing" Karl Rove. Imagine that SMEARING Karl Rove. Is that even possible?) to be the biggest obstacle to getting rational, reasonable people in charge of this country again.

31. Hey Julie Here Is A Clue About The Vitriol
This media WHORE and her ilk are the single BIGGEST reason we are in the fucking mess that is Iraq, Afghanistan, The War On Terror, The Shitty Economy, The Crumbling Infrastructure....shall I continue? SHE is a member of the obfuscation and BULLSHIT brigade. She is a complicit and TOTAL lying shitdustbag. Why are you defending her? Her behavior was sophomoric and MORONIC at best. The Letterman gig was a puff piece to make her look "human" which you bought hook line and sinker. She is not human she is a fucking freak for peddling trash while our country sinks to new depths of depravity. To wit she is a vapid crack head.

Understand now? This lying little air head and her team of lying "NEWS FOLK" need to be kicked squarely in the ass. HARD. They do not need a binky and a session with Dr. Fucking Phil. Save your outrage for families devastated by Katrina, Iraq, The Economy,...shall I continue?

Stop cheering for the cheerleaders of DEATH. So she was caught peeing on live national television? Big fucking deal. Try being Cindy Sheehan for five minutes. Kyra trashed her on national television, that in itself is enough for me to write this Kyra bitch off as worthless. She is a vacuous cow.

If that doesn't clarify the vitriol well I guess we are living on different planets.

15. Just what makes you think you have not been?
:scared:

just continue to think lovely thoughts that are in concert with moral police braindrainers and, of course, speak no evil.

11. Could have been a lot worse
She could have had Mexican food for lunch.

:spank:

All kidding aside, I saw her on Letterman last night, and I thought she was a very good sport about it. Good for her, being able to laugh it off.

33. Doesn't surprise me
When in college I found most all journalism and comm majors to be vapid airheads. Abolutely zero rigor in their curriculum. If there was they wouldn't get a passing grade.

12. Of course she's a "good sport" - there are no consequences for these fucks
Ever.

Why not be a "good sport." It doesn't cost you anything either way.

She can go get fucked as far as I'm concerned.

I never got the moonbat reference.
It always seemed better suited for conservative wingnuts like Curt Weldon that worship Sung Yung Moon.

What's with that guy, anyway?

13. Before we start feeling bad for her or giving her props. . .
. . .take a stroll over to Media Matters and doa search for the word "Kyra"

She's the person who heaped praise on Rockey Vaccarella in an interview last week. She's the one who did an entire segment on the Rapture and the conflict in Lebanon, and she's the one who smeared Cindy Sheehan with this back in January:

22. Nothing if anything happens by accident on TV anylonger...
Edited on Fri Sep-01-06 02:15 PM by Javaman
Having worked in master control for a major TV broadcast outfit. All that crap is so closely monitored, that I find it completely impossible that it slipped by.

One of my jobs was QC. I had to monitor the out going signal of any show or live broadcast. They new damn straight what was happening.

One of a number of things occurred.

1) This was a whole set up to distract people for some screwy reason.

2) they knew that morons* speech was going to tank so they set this up

3) Kyra needed face time because maybe her ratings weren't where they needed to be

4) Krya pissed off some people and they wanted to get back at her (my vote)

5) The Karr story tanked and they needed a bit of controversy to act as a filler to the next big story (my second vote)

this is all bullshit and why in gods name are we spending any time on it at all?

Now she goes onto letterman to act all humble and able to poke fun at herself. (refer to #3)

She is another water carrying apologist for moron* and his room full of dopes.

Other than Cafferty and Obermen, she and her like can burn in hell.

I assumed they knew what was going out on the air.

26. She can go to hell and take Letterman with her.
He's part and parcel of the plan to craft news, politics and entertainment into one seamless stream of pop cynicism. I think he's more aware of the process than she is, but they're both making a good living demeaning the public discourse.
