It is Monday, and a lot of you hard workers are probably wishing you could you just burst into your boss’ office, flip a couple birds, and drop a few F-bombs, before storming out forever. Well one (now former) Alaskan news reporter did something similar, only on a much grander scale. The reporter, pushing for the legalization of marijuana, quit her job live on the air, complete with a four letter word for the unsuspecting viewing audience.
Recently, KTVA news reporter, Charlo Greene quit her job to focus her attention on the fight to legalize marijuana in Alaska, and she did in a way that was bound to get the worlds attention, telling viewers (via The Independent):
"Now everything you heard is why I, the actual owner of the Alaska Cannabis Club, will be dedicating all of my energy toward fighting for freedom and fairness which begins with legalizing marijuana here in Alaska...And as for this job, well, not that I have a choice but, f**k it, I quit."
Following, the live F-bomb, the KTVA tweeted an apology to their viewers, writing:
“Viewers, we sincerely apologize for the inappropriate language used by a KTVA reporter on the air tonight. The employee has been terminated.”
Unless, they sent a robot back in time to kill her, they must be using is a pretty loose interpretation of the word terminated considering Greene quit. Greene is now champion her cause via an Indiegogo campaign:
“I'm Charlo Greene, the president and CEO of the Alaska Cannabis Club - Alaska's only legal medical marijuana resource. I just quit my news reporting job on live TV to announce that I am redirecting all of my energy toward helping to end a failed drug policy that has ruined the lives of far too many Americans.
“Ballot Measure 2, the initiative to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol in Alaska, isn't just about marijuana in the Last Frontier, it's about keeping the ball rolling on NATIONAL legalization. Imagine, if after Colorado and Washington have legalized recreational marijuana and are offering the rest of the world a positive outlook on what ending marijuana prohibition can do, Alaskan voters fail to continue moving our nation in the direction toward freedom and fairness. There's no doubt that will impact every other state, national and international marijuana reform effort. Americans with common sense don't want that.”
