#1 Unprofessional? Maybe. Ballsy and best? Yep. They were reporting on the medical marijuana coop, and she outed herself as the founder, and knew with that the media tut=tut crowd would get here fired, so she grabbed it and did an awesome Take This Job And Shove it move "F**k it, I quit" - pretty much: drop the mic and walk off the stage. Kudos to her for having the guts to do what so many others have wanted to do in a bad situation.

The reactions were damned funny.

#3 Unprofessional media resignation. We're talking about a profession typified by narcissism, double dealing, backstabbing, betrayals both personal and wholesale, and lying elevated to art form. (Kinda explains why they're attracted to politicos.)
Unprofessional is good under these circumstances.

#4 As the owner of the Alaska Cannabis Club, she had no business being the reporter on this story.

The reporter was the owner of a "Pot" club and also was the reporter on a story about pot. No bias there (sarc).

#6 Now if we could just get the Champ to do the same.
That would require the use of the teleprompter and the story would be leaked and then discredited as 'Bush's fault.'
