1. Ah...local FOX news reporter

That sounded painful, though.

[trumad]

3. It sounded like she just knocked the breath out of her.

[Roland99]

12. Possibly.

But people don't usually say, "Ow! Ow! Ow!" and "I can't breath" when they get the breath knocked out of them. I'm guessing broken rib?

[rumpel]

2. allthough schadenfreude is not a good thing, it was funny, karma for

cheating!

[Dissent Is Patriotic]

4. Not funny...

she sounded like she really got hurt.

[trumad]

5. and if she's OK

then it's fucking funny!

[RubyDuby in GA]

6. Please, this woman is a prima donna

It's the Atlanta affiliate and I've seen her numerous times.
I think it's hilarious.

And I encourage everyone to visit Chateau Elan....nice place.

[Tsiyu]

11. I concur about Chateau Elan

We've had some enjoyable times there at Bastille day celebrations and horse shows. Not bad for georgia ;)

[merh]

21. Is that Gwivere Densa (spelling)

She used to be our talking head on the MS Gulf Coast.

I wondered where she went to.

7. Heh, heh, OUCH!

Unfortunately this person is from a Fox affiliate, not Fox News itself. They have no more contact with the like of O'Reilly and Brit Hume than you or me. Oh well, they're still part of the same evil company. And did you see the male anchor? Could he have looked more phony in his concern for her?

[trumad]

10. Then you've never seen OutFoxed

If you don't think corporate doesn't run the showm you're wrong.

[Downtown Hound]

13. I have seen Outfoxed

and I have worked in television before. Yeah, they get memos as to how to behave and what to say, but each station has their own mentality and their own little circle. That's just how it works. They may be a part of Fox, but they are still different people with different agendas. I worked at an ABC station doing advertising sales, and yes, they had certain guidelines to follow. But for the most part, when it came to reporting local news, they had considerable autonomy to do what they wanted. The news still sucked mostly because of the right wing attitudes of the station owners, but it wasn't like there was a guard there from high up holding a gun to anyone's head. Granted that was ABC and not Fox, but I used to deal with the local Fox station all the time. It was more or less the same thing over there. Don't ask me how I know, in media, you hear things, that's all.

Don't get me wrong, as far as I'm concerned anyone who would work for Fox in this day and age is guilty of aiding and abetting war crimes, which is why I said that they are still part of the same evil company. So I don't feel sorry for the woman or nothing. I only sold advertising for an ABC station, and even I couldn't turn a blind eye to what the media was doing. If I had been at Fox, I would have quit even sooner than I did. So I'm not saying I have sympathy for her or anyone at Fox, just that the people I'd really like to see bite the dust are the ones at Fox News themselves, not some rinky dink affiliate.

Still, I enjoyed the clip a lot. Thanks for posting it.

15. No prob

and I'll defer to your expertise...:-)

[DrWeird]

8. No sympathy for the devil.

Why do it on a raised platform anyway?

[immoderate]

19. So the juice flows down to the collector.

[LifeDuringWartime]

9. omg

probably just got the wind knocked right out of her, although i guess it serves her right for trying to cheat!

[Toucano]

14. Wasn't she trying to cheat?

She said "stop". Then she started stomping again.

That's when she slipped and fell.

"Cheaters never win!"

[UdoKier]

16. Love the insincerity of her "concerned" fellow reporters...

"Ooh, looks like she's really hurt oh yeah hope she's okay, yeah, wow. - that's rough. Hmm."

[Sparkle]

17. bookmarked for later viewing...

[Cannikin]

18. Love it. Bless her if she was hurt, but always funny...

when news people screw up that badly.

[idiosyncratic]

20. Yikes. . . huge download. Anyone want to tell me what it shows

I connect to the Internet at 24K :cry: so there is no way I am going to download a 14 MB file.

What happens to her?

[candle_bright]

24. I'll try to recap it

Two women are stomping grapes in barrels, and they are up on a platform. After they are supposed to stop, one of the women stomps a few more times...and as she steps out of the barrel onto the platform, she catches her foot on the edge of the barrel and then stumbles off the platform and takes a major face-plant into the ground below.

Yowch!!!

[troubleinwinter]

22. They call that 'NEWS'????!!!!

[Emboldened Chimp]

23. Man, this thing is still making the rounds?

This is a couple years old. And yes, it's funny as hell.

[The Minus World]

25. Faceplant

If it's the video I think it is, a friend and I actually sampled the "Ow - ow - owwwwWWWW!" onto a little Casio keyboard and played it back at different speeds just for laughs. It sounded a little like Sam Kinison, come to think of it.

I know it's juvenile to laugh at another's humiliation, but it was certainly no different than much of what you see on America's Funniest Videos.

In terms of her profession, I'm not all that concerned as to who the hell she works for; whether she's with FOX, CNN, or NPR, I'm against wishing my political opponents harm, intentional or unintentional.

[Sparkle]

26. Okay, I just watched it. I don't care who she works for but I hope

she didn't break anything because it sure sounded like it. Yeah, she may have cheated but she was only having fun.
