Hilarious. Although scn has fantastic double standards for celebrities, for anyone else in Greta's position they would have to "handle or disconnect". Finally...finally...I don't see the media "handling" so I'm waiting for her resignation so she can disconnect (and isolate herself from society more and more)....or, if she's smart (and I'm sincerely hoping she is) she will say goodbye to scn.

I find it interesting that she opens this section by reporting on berating and non-participation by the church; not a hint of "let's be careful in case of litigation." I think the success of Going Clear is having an empowering effect on journalists. You know, that whole first amendment thing that gets brought up in the church's defense all the time.

Ya, I was like "wtf no way...." when I heard the first words out of her mouth. I have seen documentaries and such that make those statements but never a news organization. And never without even batting an eye. She was just like "yup they pulled some crazy dumb shit, now onto something that is actually NEWS and not just expected reaction from an extremist cult"

So it appears the Fox news is doing interviews with Mike Rinder. Sorry, no direct link to the videos yet, but the first part of an interview is already posted.

And it appears there was an older episode done:

This can't be good for the water cooler talk around the office with Greta Van Suseren there. Stuck in an office full of SPs. Watcha going to do handlers? Are you going to lose one of your big celebrities? Are you going to let her sit in a news media company reporting on this?

Man, if Greata breaks, she has the inside scoop on Scientology and knows her ropes around the news room. She could really do some major damage if she goes Mike Rinder. Time for some serious Sec Checks.

She has been doing this auditing for so long I bet she knows how to fool an e-meter too.

She is. You knew her name, after all.

There's a ginormous difference between being known and being a "big celebrity". Being on television does not make you a celebrity.

I suppose it's a question of semantics. I figure if someone is a household name, she's a celebrity.

You can draw the line anywhere you want. ::shrug:: Not a big deal to me.

You are right. She isn't that big. But she does have name recognition and works in a news room in front of the public 5 days a week during prime time. She could cause a hell of a lot of damage.

Remember, lots of these celeb members are only members because they can't get out. Cher said Sonny was only a member because they "made it difficult for him" when he tried to leave, and he was a Senator.

Fox News I think don't care that much for Greta any more.

When Greta was on CNN she stopped a story CNN was working about Scientology. I think FOX is running these stores to help get rid of her.

Any evidence for that?

(I am not disputing what you say. Simply interested in more info that would back it up.)

You'll have to search for that info. I read about it back in 2007 or 2008. I can't find anything now but you might want to ask her on this message board.

Hmm. Seems heavy on the rumor and "I heard somewhere." I'd discount it, myself. Which doesn't mean it isn't so; but I prefer not to spread information unless I have some clear source.
