Serene Branson, a Reporter for CBS Los Angeles, Was Not Taken to Hospital After Not Being Able to Speak During a Report of the Grammy Awards 2011

What happened to Serene Branson?

There was a rumor going around that she may have suffered a stroke on the air and that is why she was unable to really form any words, except for 'very' and then just make unintelligible sounds.

However, according to her Twitter account, she did not have a stroke, it was just nerves!

Some websites were making fun of Branson at the time, when it was thought what might have happened could have been very serious.

Who wrote this crap?What's the point of this site? It indulges people pretending to be providing 'news' when they are just spouting gibberish and conjecture.

What an idiot you are Bob121. We're talking about a young woman possibly having had a STROKE on air. She's in the hospital right now. Really hope you reap what you sow. What a loser.

This is NOT news.. you're obviously the idiot for reading this site as news.. CBS released a statement-"Serene Branson was examined by paramedics on scene immediately after her broadcast. Her vital signs were normal. She was not hospitalized. As a precautionary measure, a colleague gave her a ride home and she says that she is feeling fine this morning."Read more: www.nydailynews.com/news/national/2011/02/14/2011-02-14_video_tv_reporter_speaks_gibberish_in_bizarre_live_report.html#ixzz1DzSVw2mh

Some clues as to the motives of "yamada," above? Good people on the inside, I think there may be more to this Serene Branson incident than meets the eye...

I dont know who you were talking to, but wishing bad things and provoking them to happen is quite immature if you really think about it. You kinda stooped down to whomever you were talking to's level.

I love all the doctors that have come out of the woodwork to say that she OBVIOUSLY had a stroke. You've never had a brain fart before and lost the ability to form words? I guess not, since it's quite obvious that everyone here are the most well spoken and inteligent people who have the vocabulary of English doctorates.

Who would make fun of this? Her brain is dying before your eyes. It's like watching somebody get their brains blown out while trying to speak to you. Not a fk lot funny about this aholes.

Too bad sooo sad... (not verified)

I've seen peoples brains blown out in front of me and i've blown brains out and it is not the same. fortunately for her her brains are still in her head and not in the sand.

I think I've got this figured out, and I hope some good people on the inside are investigating you right now, "Too bad sooo sad" and "Yamada." Swine.

The difference is you and your buddies sort of want to kill people, and the people on the other side and their buddies sort of want to kill people, and so when you blow each other's brains out, all the right people are getting killed. That's why it's different.

Being a former major market TV reporter, I have to wonder:

Did she make any enemies? Is she a member of a hated ethnic or religious group? Did her work, or her lifestyle, displease those with access to a silent U.S. government microwave radio frequency weapon system -- deployed on cell tower masts EVERYWHERE -- that can induce such symptoms instantaneously, precision-targeted to specific "targeted individuals," causing them health problems, or perhaps raising questions about their health, mental competence, as a means of destroying their livelihoods?

And why did so many people seem to be videotaping her on the news at that very moment? Who in their right mind sits in front of the TV taping the local news -- unless, just perhaps, they are part of a very evil "gang stalking" torture matrix that has alerted its local brownshirts to what's about to happen to one of their media "targets?"

Remember that publicist who was murdered in L.A.? Many say she was a victim of "gang stalking." Could there be some parallels here? Some of the comments here sound like they were written by gang stalkers.

These forces destroyed my television career. Again, I have to wonder: Did Serene's reporting offend someone in power, or perhaps some hate-filled idelogue with access to this weapon system -- and that could be many people in federal, state or local law enforcement, or among the employes and operatives of LOCKHEED MARTIN, which has operational command and control over the microwave "torture towers."

"Back on the meds" meme = sure sign of cyber-stalkers doing the Gulag Soviet-style slander.

Now I am really suspicious. All those people with Flip cams taping the L.A. channel 2 local news.... hmmm. Can't stop wondering about that Hollywood publicist's apparent targeting, and now this.

Thanks, Gorby, for providing more confirmation for my theory...

People weren't sitting in front of their TV's waiting to video tape her. People have a thing called Tivo you idiot. No one is out to get her. She had a minor stroke or panic attack. Come back to reality please....

Yamada - I hope you're just an ignorant kid. I've had migraines before that do this to me. I suddenly can't speak properly. Sometimes the words are there and won't come out, sometimes I can't even figure out what someone is saying to me. It's VERY scary. It is obvious to me that something serious was happening with her medically and I pray she is ok.

TracyJ05 (not verified)

Scrivener - I'm not discounting your situation at all. But first...she's reporting on the Grammys. Not very controversial. Second, these days people have things like Tivo that are constantly recording. All a person has to do when they see something happen is rewind and grab their phone and take a video. There are very real medical conditions that cause this to happen...without a hitman.

Maybe someone hates her for her success. Maybe she offended someone in a position of power. Maybe she's a member of some minority group, or she's a lesbian, or she smoked a joint at a party and it got her "targeted." You seem awfully motivated to discount the possibility that she was targeted just like that Hollywood publicist. Why? What's your agenda here?

From Serene Branson's bio: http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/personality/serene-branson/

"She was one of only a handful of media witnesses chosen to watch the execution of convicted killer Clarence Ray Allen at San Quentin State prison. Serene also landed an exclusive interview with one of the few sexually violent predators released from the Atascadero State Mental Hospital."

Think she couldn't have been targeted?

It seems almost like it could have been a kind of panic attack. She flubbed her open, couldn't get it back and it got worse and worse. Maybe unlikely since this is her profession, but if she checked out medically, maybe that was it. It was not funny at all, though. How could you not sympathize? As far as why people were recording the news, clearly that was DVR/TIVO time shifting.

NO... among the first several vids posted to YouTube were Flip cam type videos, complete with the jeers from the guy taping the news program, as if on cue. What kind of human being responds to seeing this live with ridicule, and not with something like, "Ohmygod, what's happening to her?" No, this whole thing is just too weird. And the postings here only make me more curious... as does the fact that my computer stalled and I got a "can't open page" notice when I tried to respond here. And then my computer, which is new, by the way, slowed down to a crawl. No, something's up here. I am going to try to gain the attention of those investigating the murder of the Hollywood publicist, because I perceive some possible parallels -- and I hope NowPublic readers in L.A. do the same, because I'm 3,000 miles away....
