Ford, if you recall, swallowed a bee last week during a press conference.

For Nasser, the insect invasion happened while she was reporting on the floods in Pakistan. “Very much a first world problem given the story I’m introducing,” she said.

While everyone instantly trolled Ford for decreasing the bee population, Nasser is getting praised by peers for taking it “like a champ.”

Way to take one for the the team Farah and for your refreshing self-deprecating sense of humor. 🪰

Even her company, Global News, shared the clip on Twitter and commended Nasser for  continuing on “without a sweat.”

Looks like someone caught the journalism bug after all.
