'F*ck it, I quit': News reporter quits live on air

Well, there's no coming back after that.

This is one hell of a resignation.

Last night, on Alaskan TV station KTVA, a reporter quit her job live on air in spectacular fashion.

Charlo Green was reporting on the campaign to legalise marijuana in the state when she ended the segment with the admission that she was in fact the owner of an Alaskan cannabis club - one she had previously reported on.

She then announced she was quitting to devote her time to the fight for a new drug policy.

"Now everything you heard is why I, the actual owner of the Alaska Cannabis Club, will be dedicating all of my energy for fighting for freedom and fairness which begins with legalizing marijuana here in Alaska," she said.

"And as for this job, well, not that I have a choice but, f*ck it, I quit."

We're in awe.

Our favourite bit is when they cut back to the news anchor - who has no idea what to do next.

"Alright we apologise for that... we'll, we'll be right back."

Poor dear.

According to its Facebook page, the Alaskan Cannabis Club acts as a resource to those in need of medical marijuana.

Charlo has set up an IndieGogo fundraising page where she explains in detail why she did what she did.

KTVA have since offered an apology and say the employee's contract has been terminated.

Well, duh
