She really did get what she deserved. She is a public figure as a news director of a local network. She's also an adult and a seasoned professional and should be able to handle the pressure. If it was me, I would have accepted the flowers. Then walked away smiling saying "I have no comment. Thanks for the gifts though!"
Brilliant!!!
The wanker has enough dead space between her ears to utter: "This is really uncool." To think she and nearly all other TV news folks have no compunction about screwing others with the same technique.
Thanks for slipping this onto Utube for all to see and chuckle at 'uncool' comment as she's burning leg muscles trying to get her ass quickly up those stairs!

Totally COOL and right on point! Keep it up.

Thank you, Jack and Tony, for those insights. Let's get together before this afternoon's meeting, and I'll buy you lunch.
P.S. Did you get in touch will Bill about that extra camera I wanted for the city council story?

Looks like a lot of ringers from the station writing in here. Your ambush was hilarious and the "reporter" got everything she deserved.
I don't know how many other commenters have a degree in journalism or commensurate experience but I do, and my opinion is that this reporter did exactly what these networks have done habitually. The story, which attempts to expose "wrongdoing" in the form of one network stealing ideas from another OR two networks working in concert with one another, would have been better served with a quote from one of the key players. When one of these networks ambush someone getting out of their car because the person did not return calls, are they not doing the same thing that is done here? Sure, the candy and flowers was duplicitious, but I have seen TV affiliates conduct themselves similarly. I can't see any reason to further demonize the Pitch team. Plus it was just funny to watch the news rep squirm.
And the word "uncool" is probably the uncoolest word of the day.

I was very happy to see this story done. The story focused on KCTV, but KSHB did use bad tactics to ambush one of the teachers. They had a hidden camera in the van, and never disclosed the fact that she was being recorded for television. They ran up to her after school with parents around. Others have said the reporters call for interviews in advance. Channel 41 never tried to contact her ahead of time. She was so shocked that she did not hear them identify themselves and was worried for a week that she had an actual stalker. The pitch story's tactics were not over exaggerated. Someone needs to call for a change in the trashy, cheap, and unintelligent news coverage this media market engages in.

I don't see any dishonesty at all in the "ambush" of this talking head. How many times have we seen "news crews" barging into a business place with cameras rolling? And they don't even offer a nice gift! What's good for the goose is INDEED good for this gander. Hope she spent her lunch hour thinking, "so THIS is how it feels...."
And yes, please somebody interrupt Kater Hornie's severe weather (so-called) coverage and tell her to TAKE---COVER---NOW!!!!

Hey TOTO this is not Kansas , sounds more like Serbia or Iran, see details of nude cyclist in Serbia july 2007 and nudity in public in Islamic nations . Are there similarities to these cases?
