Former Anchorage TV reporter Charlo Greene lit up a marijuana joint while being interviewed on HuffPost Live today.
Greene, who famously quit her job live on KTVA Sunday night, agrees with her former news director who said she violated “the basic bedrock of responsible journalism,” by not revealing that she had a business interest in legalized marijuana in Alaska, while reporting stories on am upcoming ballot initiative. If she had told him, Green says, she “would have been fired. Period. I wasn’t ready for that to happen.”
Then, toward the end of the interview, Huff Post Live anchor Alyona Minkovski asked, “Are you waiting until the interview’s over to spark it up?”
“No, I’ll spark it up right now,” Greene said. “I’m in the privacy of my own home.”
Watch:
Greene also did an interview with Jonathan Hunt for for FoxNews.com. Explaining why she cursed in her on-air resignation, Greene says, “That was just off the cuff. As a journalist, you’re not supposed to take a stand on an issue either for or against it regardless of what you actually feel. You can’t voice your opinion. I was stepping away from that career. For the first time in my life, I was going to be able to start speaking my opinion. In that moment, that was my truth – ‘F’ it.”
