Matches in DBpedia 2014 for { ?s ?p Jeanne Moos is a national news correspondent for CNN. She is based at the network's studios in Manhattan.A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Moos originally wanted to pursue a career in print journalism, but while attending the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University (where she earned a bachelor's degree in TV-Radio), she decided to go into the television business instead. In 1976, she landed her first major job in television at WPTZ in Plattsburgh, New York, as the station's first female correspondent. During her tenure at WPTZ, she covered local and national stories, including the 1980 winter Olympic Games in Lake Placid, New York.In 1981, she joined CNN as a reporter. It was there that she covered stories ranging from political corruption to the United Nations during the 1991 Gulf War.In the 1990s, Moos began to report on unusual and off-beat soft news stories, which is her current trademark. In 1995, she began a series of reports called "Making The MOOSt Of It." Today Moos continues to file reports for CNN in a segment called "Moost Unusual," seen during The Situation Room and during Showbiz Tonight on CNN Headline News. These stories tend to focus on subjects related to popular culture and make use of man-on-the-street style interviews, shots of tabloid magazine headlines, and clips garnered from videos on YouTube. They also frequently take viewers behind the scenes, showing Moos placing phone calls from her office or cracking jokes with other employees in CNN's Manhattan studios.CNN Coverage of Royal Visit to New ZealandIn April 2014, CNN aired a segment about Prince George's first official trip to New Zealand with his parents Prince William and Catherine, or "Kate", Duchess of Cambridge. In the segment, Jeanne Moos calls the greeting, a traditional pōwhiri held at Government House, Wellington, New Zealand, a "royal bummer". Later in the segment, she described a previous haka, performed by Maori soldiers, as "slapping and thrusting", and "'a cross between a Chippendale lap dance and the mating dance of an emu". She continued, describing other previous traditional greetings as: "going native". The response to her segment was generally not well received. A petition was started on change.org, describing the segment as follows: "...her blatant disregard for, and insensitive commentary concerning the Māori culture and its customs are inadmissible. Though these practices might seem out of the ordinary for someone who is not familiar with New Zealand or its traditions, there are never any grounds in which to mock these is in anyway tolerable". The petition quickly reached its goal of 25,000 signatures. The website Heavy.com called the segment: "CNN’s Most Racist, Cringe-Worthy News Segment Ever". The Huffington Post had this reaction: "Oh dear, CNN. Just: Oh dear. This may be the most offensive American coverage of events in another country since CBS used Toto's 'Africa' for Nelson Mandela's memorial coverage". In response, Moos was "forced to apologize", saying only "“Duly noted. I do humour and satire, and I am truly sorry if the tone of my story offended anyone,”.. }
