Do you all know that Contessa Brewer (MSNBC) lost her baby ?

[SoCalDem]

Extra shame on Martin Bashir (also MSNBC) for "outing" her very early pregnancy.. Let this be a lesson to everyone.. Let Mom announce in her own way and in her own time.. She should have been able to decide whether to publicly clue people in to her obvious miscarriage , and if she chose to share the sadness with only close family & friends, that should have been her choice..

It was a boy.

EDITED TO ADD (MSNBC) because apparently people who do not "know her", feel the need to click & tell us they don't know or care about her:)

1. Something about him rubs my wife and I the wrong way.

I think he would be a better fit on CNN.

[Ilsa]

2. He announced for her, Knowing she wasn't ready? Shame on him.

I generally like Bashir, but that is just so wrong.

[SoCalDem]

4. I don;t think he even gave her a chance..he just blurted it out on air

and within a few weeks, she apparently was put on bedrest, so obviously she was in a difficult pregnancy, and she surely had not told him she was even pregnant.

3. Very sad

She's better hope Michelle Bachmann doesn't order her arrest

[checks-n-balances]

11. Seriously, Martin Bashir should at least be reprimanded for that

If Bachmann should win (God forbid), that would actually be a possibility for Brewer. Sounds like a joke but we need to be sure someone like that never wins any kind of election again.

In the meantime, how terrible for Ms. Brewer.

16. I agree n/t

5. How sad.

Miscarriage is a very painful event. Shame on Bashir!

6. Who the heck are Contessa Brewer and Martin Bashir??

Infotainment people on the teevee?

[Anakin Skywalker]

9. Yeah? Who the hell are they? I was gonna ask the same thing!

[SoCalDem]

10. and yet you cared enough to click in

:rofl:

[GoCubsGo]

13. Thank you.

[Joe the Revelator]

15. Seriously, these types of posts are so obnoxious.....

We get it. You're super cool.

[Raine]

18. WOW a real Luddite!

:wow: :eyes:

[Anakin Skywalker]

23. Some people don't care to Twatter or Twitter or FaceBookie whatever, OK?

[Maru Kitteh]

25. But you DO feel the need to draw attention to yourself

for not doing it. Alrighty then.

[WhiteTara]

7. I hope she doesn't live in a state that charges her

with murder. It's really sad for her and now she has to deal with lots of people and their responses rather than just grieving.

[SoCalDem]

8. and when she does come back to work , everyone will offer

condolences because we are a nation of public-grievers..

When you suffer a loss, you want and need the comfort & care of people you value & love, but are not always eager to re-grieve every time someone you don't even know offers their condolences...especially if you have a public-contact job.

[WhiteTara]

12. Yeah. If it were me, I'd take an extra month off

just to have some privacy. After a month, everyone will forget and go to the next shiny toy.

[JI7]

14. did he "out" her pregnancy without her permission ?

[SoCalDem]

22. yep..on air right in front of her..

she was stunned, to say the least..

[RB TexLa]

17. There is a person working at MSNBC using the title Contessa? Do people bow to her?

[Raine]

19. So it's her fault her parents gave her that name,

the gal loses her baby and you dump on her for a name her parent's inflicted her with. :eyes:

[RB TexLa]

20. I thought it was a title

[Warren DeMontague]

21. Yes, she's heiress to the 3rd Earl of Beer.

From the Castle of Lord Schlitz.

[Cetacea]

26. LOL. n/t

[pinboy3niner]

24. I'm so sorry for Ms. Brewer

That's a tragic loss.
