Last week MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski created a stir (and earned bonus points with me) for refusing to read the Paris Hilton release story on the air:

TVNewser notes that Ms. Brzezinski’s rebellion has earned her widespread acclaim.

In a related note Joe Scarborough is apparently making the move from Scarborough Country to Morning Joe a permanent one. In the clip above, Scarborough suggests one of the reasons he’s for this is because he won’t be forced to do all that “HollyWeird” stuff. Good for him if he’s found a way to avoid doing tabloid TV.
