What BBN said about it
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWeird News. Modern Ghana carries an MS NOW highlights reel in which hosts and Los Angeles residents react to remarks by the president on Iran.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe headline calls them bizarre and deranged.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBizarre and deranged? Gloria, that's just the cable news weather report. Every network says it, and every network sells ads against it.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNoted. The headline is the outlet's framing. The data gives no details on the remarks themselves, so I won't pretend otherwise.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSecond story, and I love it. ScreenAnarchy reviews a New York festival film, Bitter Christmas, and calls it a weird act of artistic self-deprecation.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSelf-deprecation is brave. I once insulted myself in a Geneva embassy and they asked me to leave.
