OC Register: Pick not a protest

Ken Rusic, editor of the Orange County Register, says the editor who picked his nose on camera during a taping of KOCE-TV’s Real Orange, wasn’t doing so to protest recent lay-offs at the paper, as was suggested by previous reports. The veteran editor, named CP Smith, “did absent-mindedly stick his finger in his nose, just like all of us have done at one time,” Rusic wrote. “Most of us don’t get caught doing it on TV.”
