TV Reporter Makes Unbelievable Exit On Air: 'F*ck It, I Quit'

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Local Anchorage reporter Charlo Greene has decided to leave her job as a newswoman to focus on legalizing marijuana in Alaska. OK, you're thinking, nothing too interesting there.
But the way she decided to leave her job was absolutely, positively spectacular.
After reporting a segment on pot on Sunday night, Greene said this:
"Everything you've heard is why I, the actual owner of the Alaska Cannabis Club, will be dedicating all of my energy toward fighting for freedom and fairness, which begins with legalizing marijuana here in Alaska. And as for this job, well, not that I have a choice but, f--k it, I quit."
Cut to an extremely discomfited anchor.
Greene's KTVA author page was completely erased just minutes after the incident, the Alaska Commons reported.
Green has since started an Indiegogo campaign for cannabis reform, explaining in its summary:
"I'm Charlo Greene, the president and CEO of the Alaska Cannabis Club - Alaska's only legal medical marijuana resource.
"I just quit my news reporting job on live TV to announce that I am redirecting all of my energy toward helping to end a failed drug policy that has ruined the lives of far too many Americans."
