Greene told viewers that she is the owner of the Alaskan Cannabis Club and said she would be focusing her energy on the fight to legalize marijuana in the state. But she ended with a statement that took everyone by surprise.
After that she walked off stage. Given that the segment was live, there was no way to bleep out her colorful choice of wording.
The main anchor seemed to be in shock over Greene's statement and apologized for it. KTVA has also express regret, noting “We sincerely apologize for the inappropriate language used by a KTVA reporter during her live presentation on the air tonight. The employee has been terminated.”
Earlier this year, another reporter, Liz Wahl from RT America decided to do something similar, albeit far less brazen.
