Yeah only uptight idiots would have a problem with this. Though in the US she'd probably be fired.
Yeah, I'd imagine only losers would have an issue with this.
I think that was cute honestly. Just good fun.
They're blurring her middle finger, but since it's generally ok to show that particular finger as long as the other fingers are visible, maybe instead they should have blurred the areas on either side where the other fingers aren't.
Genius! Or photoshop other people's fingers onto her hand
I just did a quick YT search. It was literally half a second as they were coming back from break and she instantly puts on her BBC anchor face. I wouldn't even get (more) angry with a Fox News or RT presenter for doing what she did. No biggie at all.
In the words of a former Fox News talking head, "Fuck it! We'll do it live!".
Go fuck yourselves San Diego.
I’m Ron Burgundy?
why did she do that in first place? what's the context? was she angery or joking?
Someone asked her to count to 4 in binary.
Let me provide an example which I think captures the spirit of the interaction that took place on this fateful day:
Greg: Ay yo Jimmy boy!
Jimmy looks up, notices his friend Greg, flips him the bird.
Sounds about right. Similar to, hey Jimmy, Jimmy says what, Greg says fuck you.
Haha, hell yeah. She shouldn't even sweat it.
IF she was justified in doing it,
THEN I've no problem with it.
A bit of honesty in mass-media would be refreshing, you know??

That's classic British humor.
