Fox Hosts Don’t Sound Too Sure Their Bieber Legal Segment Constituted ‘News’

Just moments after two legal experts inveighed on the judicial consequences of the new “smoking gun” in the Los Angeles egging charges against Justin Bieber, Happening Now host Jon Scott and Jenna Lee seemed to question the wisdom of devoting that airtime to the Biebs.

“It is unfortunate who we turn into celebrities in this country, isn’t it?” Scott said.

“It is news,” Lee said, without much conviction. “Right?”

There followed a bit of a pause.

“I guess,” Scott said.

Lee recovered: “At least we take a look with our legal panels!” Indeed.
