I don’t know whether to pit this or not. What knucklehead at NBC thought it would be a good idea to send this vapid, uninspired, talentless hack to report from a war zone? Are they hoping for a direct hit? God, the woman annoys me no end.

Possibly, except that she can occasionally ad-lib when the tele-prompTer goes dark. Curry is hopeless without a script in front of her.
