TV anchor fired after police fracas

Alycia Lane, a TV news anchor who allegedly punched a female police officer during a fracas last month, has been fired by Philadelphia's CBS affiliate. The station's president, Michael Colleran, said: "We have concluded that it would be impossible for Alycia to continue to report the news as she, herself, has become the focus of so many news stories. We... are not prejudging the outcome of the criminal case against Alycia that is pending in New York." (Via Media Bistro)
