MSNBC's Contessa Brewer: Quit Facebook? 'Heeeelllll No'

In the third part of our interview with MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer for mediabistro.com’s Media Beat, we dive into the topic of how social media has become a big a part of life for a cable news anchor.

“I do find the immediate response gratifying,” Brewer says about her Facebook and Twitter activity, “But I also think sometimes people on Twitter or Facebook forget that there’s a real live person on the other side.”

Of the feedback she gets, she tells us, “Probably about 25% of that is a lot of vitriol, there’s about 50% that’s genuine intelligent discussion…and then about 25% of it is just nonsensical comments or observations.”
