As a former TV reporter, I know it’s easy to get caught up in the emotions of covering a story.  We all say things we regret from time to time.  But this loose-lipped reporter broke a rule that’s taught in Journalism 101:  Don’t share your opinions while covering a story.

Now that her opinions have been made public, people who watch this YouTube video will probably no longer think of Jamie Wilson as just a reporter.  They’re more likely to see her as a reporter with opinions and biases, which could affect her credibility as a journalist.
