Live coverage of a stroke?

There's an awful story developing out of Los Angeles today, made worse by the initial viral nature of this video by people who at first thought it was funny. CBS reporter Serene Branson stumbled badly during a live report during the Grammy awards last night, giving every outward sign she was having a stroke.

(Update 2:21 p.m. - CBS is working hard to get all video of the incident taken down. As usual on the Internet, it pops up in different places every time they succeed in shutting one down.)

Unfortunately, we don't have anything more on the story except that Branson has been hospitalized. The station's Web site says nothing about the incident.

Update 1:02 p.m. - Station Web site says no hospitalization.
