Yahoo NewsViewers of CBS affiliate KTVA-TV in Anchorage, Alaska were jolted Sunday evening during the station’s newscast as reporter Charlo Greene dropped an F-bomb, disclosed that she was the owner of a cannabis club in the city, and informed the audience she was quitting her TV job.
“F–k it, I quit,” Greene said with a shrug at the close of a report about efforts to decriminalize marijuana in the state, which will vote on the issue in November.
Greene disclosed that she was the owner of the Alaska Cannabis Club and that she was quitting to devote “all of my energies to fighting for for freedom and fairness, which begins with legalizing marijuana here in Alaska.”
KTVA anchor Alexis Fernandez looked momentarily stunned before apologizing to viewers. On Monday morning, KTVA had an apology from news director Bert Rudman posted on its website:
“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.”
Greene later posted an explanation of her decision on crowdfunding site Indiegogo.

I support her decision 100%.
im sure she will end up making more money, helping more people , lying to many less people and generally feeling better about herself
im mean really who wants to be sitting in the passenger seat of the world wide crash as a paid mouth piece?
if you have any values , you most certainly would not
Lol…. She has bigger balls then most men I know and what I find funny is they said she’s been terminated, uhhh… I don’t think so, did they not hear her, “F@&k it, I quit!!!!!!
Amen to this gal and all women who show men how it’s done..
Exactly.
Kinda reminds you of those RT reporters quitting on air. It’s becoming quite the popular trend lately.
The last part with the reporter’s reaction was the best.
OH MY GOODNESS!! What do I do? That’s not part of the script. I didn’t have time to update the teleprompter. We’re still live on air. Oh crap! AHHH!!!!!! QUICK! Go to commercial. GO TO COMMERCIAL!!!
LOL!
Good for her! I support her and the way she bitch slapped the media at the same time! By the way, if you would like a healthful belly laugh, just let the video continue to play and you’ll be rolling on the floor laughing at the bullshit with Lady Gaga and Tony Bennent!
Talk about a 180.
Instead of stressing people out with bad news, she’ll be relieving their stress with good herb.
“The employee has been terminated.” She quit, i heard it. You can’t be fired if you don’t work there ’cause you quit. Right?
Women seem to be the only bodies anymore with any balls. And, i ain’t no woman neither. i’m an old fart who’s been tokin’ since 1967, every day the last 30 years even. All i’m saying is smoking marijuana, even to excess, has not harmed my health. In fact, i do believe it has enhanced my healing. It was the only pain medication i used after hernia surgery.
God’s gift, it most certainly is.
“And, i ain’t no woman neither.”
LOL… never met a woman named Todd yet.
she said “Black Market” OMG
