Last week a Minnesota news anchor came under fire after a broadcast in which she appeared to be under the influence of alcohol, but according to the station's General Manager, she was ill and had a bad reaction to medication.

Annie Stensrud, the anchor for small market KEYC-TV, CBS/Fox affiliate in Mankato, MN, slurred her words and was visibly out of sorts as she read the evening’s top stories on the station’s 10 p.m. newscast on December 4.

"My performance last Sunday night was terrible, and for that, I apologize," Stensrud said in a statement released by the network.
