I watched that clip, from a position of someone who has been involved in spot reporting via radio/television. Was it joking? Or was it doing the job of the TV/radio spot-reporting journalist and producer to be prepared for any eventuality?

Nothing messes up live spot reporting like surprises, especially surprises that no one on staff anticipates. When a shocking event occurs, you either have to respond “off the cuff” (which never goes well), or you thought through the possibility (impossibility) beforehand and do a credible job of covering it when it happens.

Joking? No. Covering the bases? Yes.

It’s unfair when people lambaste someone for doing their job right.

Welcome back to FR.

After reading your defense of Big Media, it was a real eye-opener to read your previous posts, including this gem:

“As for when the server was in Clinton’s house, if the Secret Service was co-located in the house, that speaks for good physical security, too.”

Perhaps in 2020, eh?

Puhleese!! Did you watch the video or are you just bloviating?

Suzanne Malveaux has a big smile on her face during the exchange while laughter is heard (off camera) from the person who made the comment.

I repeat, Puhleese!
