IT'S not easy being a television news reporter - it's even tougher to be a microphone.
WIN News Sunshine Coast reporter Sam Cucchiara did not receive a warm welcome when he started questioning a man who was leaving Maroochydore Court House this morning.
After verbally indicating his reluctance to be interviewed, the man made his indications physical by knocking a microphone from Mr Cucchiara's hand to the ground.
