Some genius engineer at CNN today left a live mic on Kyra Phillips as she went to the BATHROOM during Bush’s 1-year Katrina Anniversary speech.
Over the President’s speech, you can hear her speaking about how difficult it is to find a good man, but how it’s doable.
And Kyra, even though you’re married, be careful about talking in the bathroom about your husband’s sister. Calling her a control freak will not make for a good Thanksgiving dinner.
Kyra, if this winds up in a divorce for you, may I just say that I’m a good, kind man, who happens to be single.
(PS: Yes, Kyra is the one who confused US Ambassador John Bolton with 80′s pop singer Michael Bolton.)

You have to admit, her audio could have been A LOT worse than what was actually said/heard. |

Maybe it was an engineering mistake, and maybe it wasn’t. Sometimes if an engineer or cameraman has a bad relationship with a news reader, they will let something like this happen. Every tv news station has it’s share of stories of how images, sound or timing were manipulated to make some uppity twinkie look stupid. The stories can be hilarious. Moral of the story: treat the people who control your image and sound on tv with respect. |
