Wow…watching this …
Wow…watching this as an ex-journalist myself, it seems bizarre and almost surreal by today’s ultra-PC broadcast news standards. Even in 1988, it would have been considered HIGHLY unprofessional to get that personal (even with a colleague), and his pressing her on it could possibly be viewed as misogynistic by a liberal / feminist.
I don’t normally “speak ill of the dead”, but I can see why they fired his azz & am glad they did. He needed some serious sensitivity training…
No, it was …
No, it was engineered by the people at the station and Bree herself. They wanted to bring it out into the open, and it hadn’t been discussed on air. This was just a good pretext. But you are dead-on about Carol’s reaction.

I.I.N.M., Ms. Walker joined KCBS in Fall 1988, a few months after this.

Makes you wonder if Jim would’ve aborted if he knew his unborn kids had the same condition. The questions makes Jim looks bad. Such a terrible and insensitive question.
