Meh. Good for her for being a human being and not an automaton.
Yeah only uptight idiots would have a problem with this. Though in the US she'd probably be fired.
Yeah, I'd imagine only losers would have an issue with this.
They're blurring her middle finger, but since it's generally ok to show that particular finger as long as the other fingers are visible, maybe instead they should have blurred the areas on either side where the other fingers aren't.
Genius! Or photoshop other people's fingers onto her hand
I think that was cute honestly. Just good fun.
Good for her to have a fun relationship like that with her coworkers. Covering hard to hear news must be difficult and I'm glad she can relax with her peers. No big deal.
I just did a quick YT search. It was literally half a second as they were coming back from break and she instantly puts on her BBC anchor face. I wouldn't even get (more) angry with a Fox News or RT presenter for doing what she did. No biggie at all.
In the words of a former Fox News talking head, "Fuck it! We'll do it live!".
Go fuck yourselves San Diego.
I’m Ron Burgundy?
why did she do that in first place? what's the context? was she angery or joking?
They were joking around on set before the live program started, and either the festivities ran into airtime, or someone in the control room cut to her feed too soon.
Someone asked her to count to 4 in binary.
Let me provide an example which I think captures the spirit of the interaction that took place on this fateful day:
Greg: Ay yo Jimmy boy!
Jimmy looks up, notices his friend Greg, flips him the bird.
Sounds about right. Similar to, hey Jimmy, Jimmy says what, Greg says fuck you.
Haha, hell yeah. She shouldn't even sweat it.
She was just waving hello (with an 80% discount)...
IF she was justified in doing it,
THEN I've no problem with it.
A bit of honesty in mass-media would be refreshing, you know??
: )

That's classic British humor.

- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
