ESPN's Britt McHenry is Not Nice....

She got a lot of shit, rightfully so, for the tow truck incident. She acted like a fool, even though tow truck people are generally the worst. And I remember that when she was part of ESPN layoffs her comment was something like "They fired me because I'm white and make too much money" and that later turned into "They fired me because I'm conservative" as if her being conservative was hindering her ability to give a report on the Pittsburgh Steelers' injuries on their offensive line or the quarterback controversy with the Minnesota Vikings.

I think she saw she checked all their boxes that Fox News wanted....white, blonde, attractive, willing to be an asshole on Twitter and "own the libs"...and pursued it. And she happily played the character of spoiled little rich girl. Then the sexual harassment came and she found out how ruthless Fox News is to people that challenge their culture.

Definitely a business decision and if Newsmax or OAN or the The Blaze or whatever the fuck Trump's shitshow of a news channel is going to be (Trump News Channel is the odds-on favorite for a name) come calling the gimmick will probably resurface.

 

She was deeply affected by an aggressive form of The Big C

Careerism

Still crazy after all these years.

Ten years and this is the first time she's trotted out the "The video was edited!"

 

She's not smart.

 

She's not nice, either.

 

I assume she has mental health issues.

 

a. She remains an idiot.

b. That's some damn shoddy journalism, not reaching out to the tow truck owner for rebuttal.

 

Not to defend her, but, as covered here before, employees
of predatory towing companies truly are colossal assholes.

In the trucks and at the impound lots, too.
Luckily, I've never had to experience that shit.
The whole setup basically is designed for screaming fits.

 

I don't think that site ever claims to be journalism. I used to love reading that page when it started, but it's turned into a click machine

 

I get that. Of course, the general public thinks that is journalism. They're not exactly discerning. There's the problem.
