If this is the best a "network news organization" can find to report as news, it's no wonder their loosing ground..  And to fire Amy over this is utterly ridiculous..  Obviously there are some internal politics at play within the organization that are the real reason she got fired..  I could understand if her husband was upset, but her boss..  Well, I would have to question his motives!!  Perhaps she turned down one of his invitations..

I don't see anything questionable about her behavior especially in light of the fact that she is a reporter and getting to know someone on a friendly basis certainly could lead to an inside tip if there is one to be had..

As far as danger to her or her children, since her husband knew where she was and these guys knew it, they were certainly going to be on their best behavior in view of the other suspicions floating around..
