Cop-Punching Reporter Gets Fired

Alycia Lane (pictured), the Philadelphia television anchor who allegedly punched out a cop in the Meatpacking District last month, was just fired from her job. KYW-TV, Philadelphia’s CBS affiliate, announced today that they’ve decided to let her go. The station’s official line, as per KYW-TV president Michael Colleran:

“After assessing the overall impact of a series of incidents resulting from judgments she has made, we have concluded that it would be impossible for Alycia to continue to report the news as she, herself, has become the focus of so many news stories.
